The more I thought to myself, 'Are my thoughts right, am I being obedient enough?' the worse it was... one of the most painful things you can experience in life is not so much physical pain, but being self-occupied. Because to the extent you are self-occupied, that's the extent you will be in pain.

There are some hurts that we experience that can be forgiven but we won't forget them.
I love 'Exit West' by Mohsin Hamid. It's a magical realism retelling of the refugee experience, where people find these magical doors that transport them to another country.

Fatigue is what we experience, but it is what a match is to an atomic bomb.

I know it's an experience that I need to have if God's putting me through it.
When we shift our perception, our experience changes.
There is nothing like a live performance. You can look at things on television, and you can look at things on YouTube, but when you get in a room full of people and you say one joke, and everyone's laughing at the same thing, it's a really great experience.
We are each responsible for all of our experiences.
