I have no misgivings about, or lack of confidence in the cause in which I am engaged, and my courage does not falter.

Music is love, love is music, music is life, and I love my life. Thank you and good night.
If I say your voice is an amber waterfall in which I yearn to burn each day, if you eat my mouth like a mystical rose with powers of healing and damnation, If I confess that your body is the only civilization I long to experienceâ€¦ would it mean that we are close to knowing something about love?
Omnipotence is not knowing how everything is done; it's just doing it.
The Secret of the Occult Sciences is that of Nature itself, the Secret of the generation of the Angels and Worlds, that of the Omnipotence of God .
But how shall we excuse the supine inattention of the Pagan and philosophic world to those evidences which were presented by the hand of Omnipotence, not to their reason, but to their senses? During the age of Christ, of his apostles, and their first disciples, the doctrine which they preached was confirmed by innumerable prodigies. The lame walked, the blind saw, the sick were healed, the dead were raised, daemons were expelled, and the laws of Nature were frequently suspended for the benefit of the church.
If God would concede me His omnipotence for 24 hours, you would see how many changes I would make in the world. But if He gave me His wisdom too, I would leave things as they are.
The thing that usually gets me through the writing is that my feelings of wretched inadequacy are irregularly punctuated by brief flashes of omnipotence.
If you donâ€™t write the book you have to write, everything breaks.
As we keep or break the Sabbath Day we nobly save or meanly lose the last best hope by which man rises.
One dies if necessary, one breaks rather than bending. But I bend, because I continue to love myself.
