"I turn the good parts up and the bad parts down"

-- Jim Dickinson

“After I left college I thought, very naively, that either you became someone interesting - an artist - or you went into academia. If you ended up in an office you were dull and lacking. And I ended up in an office.”
“The highest-income Americans don't need tax-free health insurance, mortgage interest deductions or deferred taxation on retirement funds.”
“Shouldn't homophobic politicians and anti-gay bullies be presumed to be gay until they get caught up in a straight sex scandal?”
“There's nothing small or inconsequential about our stories. There is, in fact, nothing bigger. And when we tell the truth about our lives - the broken parts, the secret parts, the beautiful parts - then the gospel comes to life, an actual story about redemption, instead of abstraction and theory and things you learn in Sunday School.”
“The ultimate purpose of religious life is to make this evolution move in a direction far more important to the destiny of the ego than the moral health of the social fabric which forms his present environment.”
“The point isnâ€™t to live without any regrets. The point is to not hate ourselves for having them.”
“When I was a kid and got in trouble, I'd always say, Mom, I'm in trouble. Well, Mom, I'm in trouble.”
“If I am an angry man, it is my duty to pray for charity, which suffereth long and is kind.”
