"Theologians talk about a prevenient grace that precedes grace itself and allows us to accept it. I think there must also be a prevenient courage that allows us to be brave - that is, to acknowledge that there is more beauty than our eyes can bear, that precious things have been put into our hands and to do nothing to honor them is to do great harm."

Laughing is good for you if you don't kill yourself.

仅仅活着是不够的，还需要有阳光、自由，和一点花的芬芳。
