“Here's the thing about faith: It gives us the strength to go on when we want to give in. It gives us the courage to get up when we want to lie down.

But with it, we don't need to. Because with it we can ride the surf.”

“World is crazier and more of it than we think, Incorrigibly plural. I peel and portion A tangerine and spit the pips and feel The drunkenness of things being various.”

“A bold, vigorous assault has won many a faltering cause.”
