Whatever your image is, it's probably not you, but it affords you the freedom to live up to it.

You don't have to be a rock star - if you don't like the situation you're in, you don't have to settle for it.

Becoming famous and selling a lot of records doesn't change a thing.

We didn't have any books at home. Not even children's books or fairy tales. The only 'fantastic' stories came from religion class. And I took them all very literally, that God sees everything, and so I felt I was always being watched. Or that dead people were in Heaven right over our village.

Nobody lives up to the norms that God had in mind when he first created human beings.

With our knowledge of modern-day genetics, we realize that it was possible for God to place the potential for all people throughout history into the genes of Adam and Eve when He created them.

What can separate us from the love of God? Not life, not death, nothing in the present, nothing in the future. Not angels, not demons nothing is able to stand between us and his loving plans because you can't stop them.
