As many of you know I love to read and my journal is full of quotes from many authors. The written word can be so powerful, it is just out there for us to read over and over and analysis as many times as we wish. Here are a few of my most recent thought provoking quotes..."These are the words I want on my gravestone: that I was a helper, and that I danced."
from Anne Lamott's Grace (Eventually)
"When you love you should not say, 'God is in my heart,' but rather, 'I am in the heart of God.'"
from Kahlil Gribran's The Prophet
"O God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I m painfully conscious of my need for further grace. I am ashamed of my lack of desire. O God, the Triune God, I want to want Thee; I long to be filled with longing; I thirst to be made more thirsty still."
from A.W. Tozer's The Pursuit of God
"There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure."
from Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist
