What happens is that people who are very religious but who are not in touch with reality, cannot be spiritual.

I am too old to think.

I remember when I was a little boy my father didn't love me; he couldn't. He loved my older brother but he couldn't love me somehow, at least not in a way I could understand it.

I wrote a book called The Taste of New Wine because I couldn't find a book that talked about the reality of the situation and how we were dishonest and afraid.

A lot of us have jobs where we need to give people structure but that is different from controlling.

I have learned to like myself for the first time and to have some serenity.

The whole Bible is the story of men and women trying to get back to God, to overcome that sin with sacrifices, good works, sermons, prophesy, witnessing, giving all kinds of things. It never worked.

The primary symptom of a controller is denial, that is I can't see its symptoms in myself.

Pain is the doorway to wisdom and to truth.

Beneath all of these addictions is this disease, this control disease which is the mark of our society.

No gentleman ever discusses any relationship with a lady.

I learned that the purpose of the Twelve Steps is to do the will of God.

Then one day I read about a book that said that the church is the only army that shoots its wounded.

I was taught that pain is bad.

Religious work is one of the best ways to keep from facing your reality if you are Christian, if you are using it to calm the pain, because that it what all addictions are, attempts to cover the pain of this spiritual disease.

We are a nation of people who are afraid we are not enough.

What happens is that people who are very religious but who are not in touch with reality, cannot be spiritual.

You are controlling because I want you to do it, not because of the situation or what needs to be done.

Feelings are like a color chart that God has given us.

There never was a social change in America without angry people at the heart.

Intimacy, as I am using it, is sharing my reality with you.

If God is in a life, it doesn't have to be big to be happy and to be important in His kingdom.

We live in a constant fear that our shortcomings will be exposed to family, to friends and to the world.

We religious controllers control in the name of Jesus and it is really painful to people.

We can't be intimate because we can't share feelings that we don't have.

I grew up and I became very successful at what I did as a young man. I became a work addict because this was the only way I could get any relief from this pain.

I am six feet tall. I am not supposed to be afraid.

A spiritual person is also in touch with his or her own reality, feelings and thoughts, and the reality of the people around him or her, not projecting on them.

My only hope to receive love is to let you see who I am, then I may believe you.

A forest is mystery but the desert is truth. Life pared to the bone.

There is no executive order; there is no law that can require the American people to form a national community. This we must do as individuals and if we do it as individuals, there is no President of the United States who can veto that decision.

Young people discovering their sexuality must know they walk with a strong tradition and that they are not alone. They have a right to information without being pressured.

Many are needed to plant and water what has been planted now that the faith has spread so far and there are so many people... No matter who plants or waters, God gives no harvest unless what is planted is the faith of Peter and unless he agrees to his teachings.

DJs and people in the street know what they like.

People who keep stiff upper lips find that it's damn hard to smile.

Some people are directors and I think they should stay behind the camera.

We dominated Survivor - there is no way we would not dominate that, too. I can see it already, us making deals with people. That's the best part, and with the Race, it would be even more fun because I've got a lot of tricks up my sleeve.

I'm getting a wider circle of fans now. More women, more middle class people.

We must support initiatives that provide clear, concrete measures and milestones that our troops need for defeating the insurgency, building up Iraqi security forces, and handing over Iraq to the Iraqi people.

Yeah, that's what kind of, we get the idea a little bit yeah, because other people from different countries also try as hard as they can to get a medal or a gold medal in the Olympic Games. And you know, if they can work hard, we can work hard as well.

Well concerning the world records that I did, I think it helps a lot to me, yeah. I think it's a very individual thing because I heard some people say, like, oh I don't like it at all. But I definitely, for me it really made a big difference.

My goal is, of course, for this show to do well, and I would love it if people liked it.

I hate wasting people's time.

Religions get lost as people do.

I also do not like the idea of soft money, these issue ads - people don't know where the money is coming from, millions and millions of dollars outside of the control of a candidate - there's no accountability.

The people of England are the most enthusiastic in the world.

The avantgarde are people who don't exactly know where they want to go, but are the first to get there.

My theory is if you have a religion, it's a good one. Because some people don't have any at all.

It's sometimes shocking to find out what people really believe in.
