Listen to God with a broken heart. He is not only the doctor who mends it, but also the father who wipes away the tears.

God enters through the cracks of broken hearts, as do the demons when given their way.

To esteem what makes you holy over what makes you happy - that is the greatest dare.

I have a poet's heart: whether manifested through rage or manifested through grace, certain loves never really go away.

Pretentiousness isn't always just big words and meaningless jargon, but also pretty words that either when put into action don't mean beans or hurt you in the long run. Oftentimes, the former appeals to the intellect whereas the latter appeals to the heart.

Intelligence entails a strong mind, but genius entails a heart of a lion in tune with a strong mind.

Truth is not fully explosive, but purely electric. You don't blow the world up with the truth; you shock it into motion.

For wordsmiths and masters of words, without necessarily being harsh with words, the words have a tendency to shoot straight to the hearts of people, and this either deeply touches them or deeply angers them. Like the apostles in all their loving controversies are those who are masters of words while combining this gift with truth.

To persons consumed by hate, in their opinion and in their heart, the most hateful thing you can possibly do is love the target at which they aim.
