George Eliot

There is no private life which has not been determined by a wider public life.

Life began with waking up and loving my mother's face.

I was raised in the Baptist church... but I didn't really have a real committed experience with Christ until my father died.

Jesus is the very concrete truth revealing and standing in for the universal truth.

It's easy to have faith in yourself and have discipline when you're a winner, when you're number one. What you got to have is faith and discipline when you're not a winner.
