• The biggest challenge of public policy is to know when and how the world has changed. We are no longer an empty continent with endless absorptive capacity.

• It is very hard to live with silence. The real silence is death and this is terrible. To approach this silence, it is necessary to journey to the desert.

You become more silent than the silence around you. And then something extraordinary happens: you hear silence speak.

• It's really hard to find things that are worth leaving them for. [Balancing work and motherhood is] really hard. One night in Nashville, my son was screaming with a terrible stomachache.

• The devil is not only a liar, but also a murderer, he constantly seeks our life, and wreaks his anger whenever he can afflict our bodies with misfortune and harm. Hence it comes that he often breaks men's necks or drives them to insanity, drowns some, and incites many to commit suicide, and to many other terrible calamities. Therefore there is nothing for us to do upon earth but to pray against this arch enemy without ceasing. For unless God preserved us, we would not be safe from him even for an hour.

  Martin Luther
