Quote

God is love, but get it in writing.

I don't write the books. God writes the books and delivers the speeches.

I've always felt that life is a novel, and part of it is written for you, and part of it is written by you. It's up to you to write the ending, ultimately.

God gets the great stories. Novelists must make do with more mundane fictions.

I've told several writers this, and, again, I get back to it, but if you want to make God smile, tell him your plans.

Life can't defeat a writer who is in love with writing, for life itself is a writer's lover until death.

Novels give you the opportunity to create a whole world. Because you create people, you make them talk... You decide who they are, whether they live or die. It's the closest thing to feeling like a god that you can come to.

Life isn't like a book. Life isn't logical or sensible or orderly. Life is a mess most of the time. And theology must be lived in the midst of that mess.

Write from your heart, and God will take care of the rest.

Our life is a book that writes itself and whose principal themes sometimes escape us. We are like characters in a novel who do not always understand what the author wants of them.
