"Like everything in life, it is not what happens to you but how you respond to it that counts."

“In each experience of my life, I have had to step out of one little space of the known light, into a large area of darkness. I had to stand awhile in the darkness, and then gradually God has given me light. But not to linger in. For as soon as that light has felt familiar, then the call has always come to step out ahead again into new darkness.”
“How shall we define occultism? The word is derived from the Latin occultus, hidden; so that it is the study of the hidden laws of nature. Since all the great laws of nature are in fact working in the invisible world far more than in the visible, occultism involves the acceptance of a much wider view of nature than that which is ordinarily taken. The occultist, then, is a man who studies all the laws of nature that he can reach or of which he can hear, and as a result of his study he identifies himself with these laws and devotes his life to the service of evolution.”
“It's the journey that matters. Learning is more important than the test. Practice well, and the games will take care of themselves.”
“I'm just going to crumble like a wreck. I'll go home, become an alcoholic and maybe! jump of a bridge.”
“All they do is warm their seats for their long tenures and eventually even their seats get dilapidated with the amount of money they hog in illegally and the only way it comes out is by tilting their huge pot-bellied frames to one side and emitting poisonous gases that not only depreciate their beloved seats but also the nation as a whole and then they shout 'Global Warming.' Hallelujah!”
“I think a lot of artists no longer want to participate in or be associated with narrative because of its corruptedness in contemporary culture.”
“We talk to God--that is prayer; God talks to us--that is inspiration.”
