We don't think much about how our love stories will affect the world, but they do. Children learn what's worth living for and what's worth dying for by the stories they watch us live. I want to teach our children how to get scary close, and more, how to be brave. I want to teach them that love is worth what it costs.

It was a haunting feeling, the sort of sensation you get when you wonder whether you are two people, the other of which does things you can't explain, bad and terrible things.

Without the Christian explanation of original sin, the seemingly silly story of Adam and Eve and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, there was no explanation of conflict. At all.

The early bird catches the worm. But I have never been one for worms. I am not sure what the late bird catches, but I will feast with him today. Probably porridge.

When we talk about the decline of the American family, I think we have to go back to the Industrial Revolution.

The downside of being a writer is you get plenty of time to overthink your life.

It is when people do not allow God to show up through them ... that the world collapses in on itself.

Good writers show rather than tell. Stories are told in action. Life stories are no different.
