I never stop making sure that what I say is the best of what could be said about a particular thing. It's a constant evolution.

I think people in Botswana are pleased that my books paint a positive picture of their lives and portray the country as being very special.

The way it works for me is my sight and sound senses are combined. Every sound I associate with a color and every color I associate with a sound...

Man is important in one sense only. He was made in the image of God: That is his importance. He is not important for his body, ego, or personality. His constant affirmation of ego-consciousness is the source of all his problems.
