Men and women who turn their lives over to God will find out that he can make a lot more out of their lives than they can.

Maybe it was this: The name of a person marked for murder is just a name, but the face makes real the cost of violence, for if we have the nerve to look, we can see in any face our own vulnerability. Dean Koontz
My friend, the truth is always implausible, did you know that? To make the truth more plausible, it's absolutely necessary to mix a bit of falsehood with it. People have always done so. Fyodor Dostoevsky
