"Belief requires no suspension,
To see that Hell is our invention.
We make Hell real; we stoke its fires.
And in its flames our hope expires.
Heaven, too, is merely our creation.
We can grant ourselves out own salvation.
All that’s required is imagination."

"On the road that I have taken,
One day, walking, I awaken,
Amazed to see where I have come,
Where I’m going, where I’m from.
This is not the path I thought.
This is not the place I sought.
This is not the dream I bought,
Just a fever of fate I’ve caught.
I’ll change highways in a while,
At the crossroads, one more mile.
My path is lit by my own fire;
I’m going only where I desire.
On the road that I have taken,
One day, walking, I awaken.
One day, walking, I awaken,
On the road that I have taken."

"A waiting person is a patient person. The word patience means the willingness to stay where we are and live the situation out to the full in the belief that something hidden there will manifest itself to us."

"And Ruth said, ‘Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God.’"

"You can’t break a man like you can break a dog, or a horse. The harder you beat a man, the taller he stands. To break a man’s will, to break his spirit; You have to break his mind."

"Books may not change our suffering, books may not protect us from evil, books may not tell us what is good or what is beautiful, and they will certainly not shield us from the common fate of the grave. But books grant us myriad possibilities: the possibility of change, the possibility of illumination."
