Intelligence is nothing without delight.

We can't gather the intelligence we need to foil future attacks if we are blindly granting terrorists the right to remain silent. But for some reason we've already done that - with the terrorist who tried to bring down Flight 253.

The intellect of the wise is like glass it admits the light of heaven and reflects it.

Knowledge is love and light and vision.

Give light and people will find the way.

There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.

It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.

Nowadays people's visual imagination is so much more sophisticated so much more developed particularly in young people that now you can make an image which just slightly suggests something they can make of it what they will.

If they want to talk about aliens and anything like that... that's part of the gift God gave us. That's what makes life exciting. We're pretty stuck you know. What gives flight to our life is our imagination.

I was brought up in a very open rural countryside in the middle of nowhere. There were no cell phones. If your lights went out you were lit by candlelight for a good four days before they can get to you. And so my imagination was crazy.
