“I prayed all night long for my master. Till the first of March; and all the time he was bringing people to look at me, and trying to sell me. I changed my prayer. First of March I began to pray, 'Oh Lord, if you ain't never going to change that man's heart, kill him, Lord, and take him out of the way.”

“I don't know what to say since I don't know what is happening [in Albania]. I can say only one thing. My Albanian people are always in my heart.

I pray for Albania, that the Lord may help its leaders to see clearly because if they want to live in peace, they should love one another.”

“Reading the Bible is the fast track to atheism. Reading the Bible means starting at "In the beginning…" and throwing it down with disgust at "… the grace of the lord Jesus be with all. Amen." I'm sure there are lots of religious people who've read the Bible from start to finish and kept their faith, but in my self-selected sample, all the people I know who have done that are atheists.”
