“Lord, give me the heart of a child, and the awesome courage to live it out as an adult.”

“… besides love, independence of thought is the greatest gift an adult can give a child.”

“For in every adult there dwells the child that was, and in every child there lies the adult that will be.”

“Games are a trigger for adults to again become primitive, primal, as a way of thinking and remembering. An adult is a child who has more ethics and morals, that's all. When I am a child, creating, I am not creating a game. I am in the game. The game is not for children, it is for me. It is for an adult who still has a character of a child.”

“I think reading is a gift. It was a gift that was given to me as a child by many people, and now as an adult and a writer, I'm trying to give a little of it back to others. It's one of the greatest pleasures I know.”

“Open your grief-stricken heart to the Lord. Weep and sincerely pray, 'O Lord, draw me towards You; give me peace of mind.' By doing so constantly you, will gradually attain peace of mind.”

“Bid me to live, and I will live
Thy Protestant to be,
Or bid me love, and I will give
A loving heart to thee.”

“When something undesirable grows in my soul, I ask God to give me the courage to mercilessly pluck it out.”

“As a child, everyone dreams of finding treasure. There’s romance and drama. But as an adult most people aren’t going to spend their lives trying to find it.”

“Excessive caution destroys the soul and the heart, because living is an act of courage, and an act of courage is always an act of love.”
