• I just think that's the most amazing thing to be able to go to places like Japan and surf all day and then that night, play music.

It's beautiful that I found these two things that help each other out.

• So many people that we met had some sort of connection to the [Olympics] games. Some story about how they volunteered there, or some sort of memory of it.

It's where these two things overlap, I think, that we're trying to explore with the photos.

• Prayer does two things. It shows the complete sufficiency of God and the complete helplessness of man. It shows that God is not lacking, that He is in need of no thing, that He is infinitely and gloriously wealthy, that He can give to, He can bless and He can answer without the need of help from anyone or anything else. And it also shows that we are in desperate need of that kind of sufficiency.

  Matt Chandler

• To my mind, there are two things that, in life, you can do about death. Either you can choose to ignore it, in which case you may have some success in making the idea of it go away for a limited period of time, or you can confront the prospect of your own death and try to analyze it and, in so doing, try to minimize some of the inevitable suffering that it causes. Neither way can you actually overcome it.

  Dalai Lama
