It allows you to say things that sound very dramatic and get away with it. If you had characters in modern fiction say the same things as they're driving down the street in an Oldsmobile they'd sound ludicrous!

   

No one ever goes into battle thinking God is on the other side.

   

Your life is yours and yours alone. Rise up and live it.

   

After that, I came back every year. Everyone said, 'Well, when you retire you can move there.' But I said, 'Why should I live my whole life where I don't want to be.'

   

I had to live this long, have the experiences I've had, to create what I do. I knew I wanted to write for years, but I had to be ready so I wouldn't blow it. The move to Maine was the final step.

I hate telling that story to people who've been struggling for years.

   

If God is so powerful, can he create a rock which he cannot lift?

   

I don't think I could have written what I did any earlier.
