“To be or not to be?' That is not the question. What is the question? The question is not one of being, but of becoming. 'To become more or not to become more' This is the question faced by each intelligence in our universe.”
Truman G. Madsen, Eternal man,

“Come to him. He turns no penitent one away. Would you, if you had paid so much in suffering? Would you ever give up? All the doors that are locked against the Lord are locked by us.”
Truman G. Madsen, The Highest In Us

“Actually, the most frightening power of freedom is to freely give itself up to the forces that stunt it.”
Truman G. Madsen, Eternal man,
