He pulled out turned west and started driving towards the glow it was thousands of miles away, he started driving towards the glow.

In life we often look to others for simple, but difficult answers, despite the fact that we have those answers ourselves.

Words can't say this. The one word love means too little for what it is. It means everything and that is still not enough.

I think men who can cry are strong men

We know have the power of God in many ways: the atomic bomb, the ability to create life in a test tube, cloning, artificial intelligence.
