“What a culture we live in, we are swimming in an ocean of information, and drowning in ignorance.”
― Richard Paul Evans, A Step of Faith

“Our culture's quest to hide death behind a facade of denial has made fools and pretended immortals of us all. Perhaps it would be more helpful and liberating to begin each day by repeating the words of Crazy Horse, "Today is a good day to die.”
― Richard Paul Evans, A Step of Faith

“ What if we all carried little timers that counted down the days of our lives?  Maybe the timer's a bit dramatic. Just the date would do. It could be tattooed on our foreheads like the expiration date on a milk bottle. It might be a good thing. Maybe we'd stop wasting our lives worrying about things that never happen or collecting things that we can't take with us. We'd probably treat people better. We certainly wouldn't be screaming at someone who had a day left. Maybe people would finally stop living like they're immortal. Maybe we could finally learn how to live.”
― Richard Paul Evans, A Step of Faith
