“What’s lost is nothing to what’s found, and all the death that ever was, set next to life, would scarcely fill a cup.”

“So, art is saying Stop. It helps us to stop by putting a frame around something and makes us see it in a way we would never have seen it under the normal circumstances of living, as so many of us do, on sort of automatic pilot, going through the world without really seeing much of anything.”

“The most precious thing I have to tell you about is the sadness. You don’t have to talk about pain, but you have to live out of your pain. Speak out of your depths. Speak out of who you truly are. And when somebody says, “How are you?” don’t say, “I’m fine.” Maybe just say, “Well, I’m not so good. How are you?” Then let the conversation move. Talk not about it, but talk out of it. And, I mean, literally talk in this place.”

“I don't know what it means to love God. Really, I'm not all that good at it. But I think one of the things it means is, just as in the case of loving anybody else, you stop and watch and wait. Listen for God. Stop and watch and wait for him. To love God means to pay attention. Be mindful. Be open to the possibility that God is with you in ways that, unless you have your eyes open, you may never glimpse. The speaks words that, unless you have your ears open, you may never hear. Draw near to him as best you can.”
