“Those who are anti-God and anti-Christian in America have infiltrated the highest levels of the educational establishment.

“For me being able to see all different places where I've skied and cherish them, and be able to see them - really see them - is something that I'm passionate about. I'm into photography, so I really enjoy taking photos of all the places that I've gone. I think that's the coolest part about being an Olympic sportsman, I get to travel around and see the world for free, technically. And get to see different cultures, and all the different people that I've met along the way - it's a pretty awesome job.”
“It is with our passions as it is with fire and water, they are good servants, but bad masters.”
“The body is not the only target of rape. Violence does not always take a visible form, and not all wounds gush blood.”
“A road that does not lead to other roads always has to be retraced, unless the traveller chooses to rust at the end of it.”
