The great thing about being a print journalist is that you are permitted to duck. Cameramen get killed while the writers are flat on the floor. A war correspondent for the BBC dedicated his memoir to 50 fallen colleagues and I guarantee you they were all taking pictures. I am only alive because I am such a chicken.

I feel good in my own skin because I've accepted the fact that I'm me. That's what's so great about being alive and being on this planet: Everybody's different.

The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions that I wish it to be always kept alive.

I enjoy life when things are happening. I don't care if it's good things or bad things. That means you're alive.

By having a reverence for life we enter into a spiritual relation with the world By practicing reverence for life we become good deep and alive.

It seems to me we can never give up longing and wishing while we are thoroughly alive. There are certain things we feel to be beautiful and good and we must hunger after them.

Every day is a good day to be alive whether the sun's shining or not.

Start living now. Stop saving the good china for that special occasion. Stop withholding your love until that special person materializes. Every day you are alive is a special occasion. Every minute every breath is a gift from God.

There are two great forces God's force of good and the devil's force of evil and I believe Satan is alive and he is working and he is working harder than ever and we have many mysteries that we don't understand.

If you suffer thank God! It is a sure sign that you are alive.
