Famous Quotes & Sayings

Pat Conroy

Good writing is the hardest form of thinking. It involves the agony of turning profoundly difficult thoughts into lucid form, then forcing them into the tight-fitting uniform of language, making them visible and clear.

I think the greatest weakness in the church today is that almost no one believes that God invests His power in the Bible.

The only possible thing is make people so aware that they themselves can decide how to respond to a changing life.
