"I appreciate a book intended to be judged by its cover. The insincere readers are often weeded out while the sincere readers remain curious."

"I hold that a writer who does not passionately believe in the perfectibility of man has no dedication nor any membership in literature."

"When you think about the period in which Agatha Christie's crime novels were written, they are actually quite edgy for the time."

"There is a great deal to be said in favour of reading a novel backwards. The last page is as a rule the most interesting, and when one begins with the catastrophe or the dA©nouement one feels on pleasant terms of equality with the author. It is like going behind the scenes of a theatre. One is no longer taken in, and the hair-breadth escapes of the hero and the wild agonies of the heroine leave one absolutely unmoved. One knows the jealously guarded secret, and one can afford to smile at the quite unnecessary anxiety that the puppets of fiction always consider it their duty to display."

"I have been used to consider poetry as "the food of love" said Darcy."Of a fine, stout, healthy love it may. Everything nourishes what isstrong already. But if it be only a slight, thin sort of inclination, Iam convinced that one good sonnet will starve it entirely away."

"God gives His deepest discernment and sharpest marksmanship to men who aim to expose His truth before an enemy's lies."
Faith
"Truth in Christ is not a matter of being near or far like in martial arts when you strive for a black belt. He saves us then we grow, not the other way around."
Faith
"Because you're always learning, the chief lesson remains: you still know nothing."
Knowledge
"The study of Scripture I find to be quite like mastering an instrument. No one is so good that they cannot get any better; no one knows so much that they can know no more. A professional can spot an amateur or a lack of practice or experience a mile away. His technicality, his spiritual ear is razor-sharp. He is familiar with the common mistakes, the counter-arguments; and insofar as this, he can clearly distinguish the difference between honest critics of the Faith and mere fools who criticize that which they know nothing."
Faith
"Create with the heart, build with the mind."
Art
"Even though artists of all kinds claim to put their hearts and souls into their works, it will only confuse you, for example, if you try to discern a painter by his paintings. His masterpiece may be the master because of its iridescence; it may display a hundred different perspectives through his single face."
Art
"A writer is one who communicates ideas and emotions people want to communicate but aren't quite sure how, or even if, they should communicate them."
Art
"Respect elders; protect children. This I do believe. As a young man it is sometimes, in a charitable sense, difficult to shake the sentiment that every elderly person is my grandparent, and every child is my child."
Respect
"A man who goes into a restaurant and blatantly disrespects the servers shows a strong discontent with his own being. Deep down he knows that restaurant service is the closest thing he will ever experience to being served like a king."
Respect
"Listen to God with a broken heart. He is not only the doctor who mends it, but also the father who wipes away the tears."
