Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most.

When God gave you to me he never said that you were mine, that I could keep you always--only borrowed for a time. Now, He's called you home, I'm sad and I shed tears. Yet, I'm glad He loaned you to me and we had these many years.

God is an unutterable sigh, planted in the depths of the soul.

''I do have sort of a spiritual center now that I didn't have
before,'' says Earle. ''But my spirituality is real retarded. It
basically consists of `I believe there is a God, and it ain't me.'
