“When there is no peace in your soul there is no peace in your heart, when there is no peace in your heart there is no peace in your mind, when there is no peace in your mind there is no peace in your life, and when there is no peace in your life there is no peace in your world.”
― Matshona Dhliwayo

“We pray because our own solutions don’t work and because prayer deploys, activates, and fortifies us against the attacks of the enemy. We pray because we’re serious about taking back the ground he has sought to take from us.”
― Priscilla Shirer, Fervent: A Woman's Battle Plan to Serious, Specific, and Strategic Prayer

“The world needs your mind, the cosmos need your heart, and the universe needs your soul.”
― Matshona Dhliwayo

“The chances of satisfying my renewed appetite for literary exchanges increased once I began to visit the library more frequently and make my way from the hotel to City Lights Bookstore at 261 Columbus Avenue. For all I was learning about the role its founder, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, had played in helping to nurture, promote, and sustain the talented souls who made the Beat Movement possible, City Lights became a kind of sacred space for me.”
― Aberjhani, Greeting Flannery O'Connor at the Back Door of My Mind
