"I'll tell you what pressure is. Pressure is a Messerschmitt up your arse. Playing cricket is not."
"The primary symptom of a controller is denial, that is I can't see its symptoms in myself."
"A Christian marriage is [not] one with no problems or even a marriage with fewer problems. (It may well mean more problems.) But it does mean a life in which two people are able to accept each other and love each other in the midst of problems and fears. It means a marriage in which selfish people can accept selfish people without constantly trying to change them -- and even accept themselves, because they realize personally that they have been accepted by Christ."
"I am deeply a part of the problem for which Christ died."
"But keep characters in propinquity long enough and a story will always develop a plot."
