Nobody knows where a great song comes from, and that's why so many writers credit the Lord as a co-writer (though I notice they never offer Him half the writer's royalties) when they come up with a real gem.”
“That which makes you miserable is the only sin. That which takes you away from yourself is the only thing to be avoided.”
