The way I look at it is that once you create a piece of art, and it's out in the world, there's nothing you can do about it. People can use it the way they want to.

I've seen a generation eager, impatient even, to step into the rushing waters of history and change its course. ~Barack Obama

If our gospel does not free the individual up for a unique life of spiritual adventure in living with God daily, we simply have not entered fully into the good news that Jesus brought. ~Dallas Willard
#quotes #dallas-willard #christianity #jesus

A lot of people are simply interested in exploring their own spirituality, their own values, who they are, whether they're happy where they are. ~James Redfield
