“I don't remember a time when I wasn't acting. I have taken time off to figure out if it's what I really want to do, and it is.

“My toils in the quotation field have led me to formulate two or three laws about the way people use and abuse quotations. My first law is: When in doubt, ascribe all quotations to Bernard Shaw - which I don't mean to be taken literally, but as a general observation of the habit people have of attaching remarks to the nearest obvious speaker.

“I marvel now that it was not obvious how inextricable suffering and fear are. It was not until fear left that I noticed, slowly, how it seemed to have taken suffering with it. It took a while to figure out that (for me, anyhow) suffering is mostly caused by fear-not by the circumstances themselves, but by my response to them.” SufferingLeftFearTakenFiguresCircumstancesResponseObviousFear Not Book:When Fear Falls Away: The Story of a Sudden Awakening Source: When Fear Falls Away: The Story of a Sudden Awakening

“I was taken in the Spirit to the burning bush on Mount Horeb, Moses' "first ascension," and allowed to witness the encounter he had with the Lord there. Throughout the visitation, I was enabled to know and feel the thoughts and emotions of Moses' inner being. ...
