I will govern my life and thoughts as if the whole world were to see the one and read the other for what does it signify to make anything a secret to my neighbor when to God who is the searcher of our hearts all our privacies are open?
If I have any worth it is to live my life for God so as to teach these peoples even though some of them still look down on me.
The chief contribution of Protestantism to human thought is its massive proof that God is a bore.
Great thoughts and a pure heart that is what we should ask from God.
I don't like to write like God. It is only because you never do it though that the critics think you can't do it.
I don't have a problem believing in God and Jesus. But in Genesis one has to wonder about these sentences that just go on and end without finishing. The thought is unfinished. Where did Adam go? What is he doing? Hello? There has to be some pages missing.
As different streams having different sources all mingle their waters in the sea so different tendencies various though they appear crooked or straight all lead to God.

God is one greatest of gods and men not like mortals in body or thought.

Garden as though you will live forever.
My thoughts will be taken up with the future or the past with what is to come or what has been. Of the present there is necessarily no image.
What appeals to me? There are things points of view uses of the language habits of dress ways of thought and believing that came to me from my grandparents and came to them from theirs. Things that are of good use in any situation no matter what the future may hold.
I couldn't wait to look at someone who shared my genes. I thought my baby was going to provide a decoder key to my past. But then I looked at Pippa and realized no she's actually the key to my future.
Though I was excited about the Sojourner Truth play it was not reassuring to think that my entire future might depend on the success of that one show.
I've been asked to do a retrospective since I was about 28 and I always thought that was a bit odd. It's great to look forward as an artist because in the future the possibilities are infinite you look back and it's all fixed so it's a scary thing.
