i'm drinking blue like jazz. everyone needs to read it. i'm now through chapter five and have to share more quotes:
"the magical proposition of the gospel, once free from the clasps of fairy tale, was very adult to me, very gritty like something from hemingway or steinbeck, like something with copious amounts of sex and blood. christian spirituality was not a children's story. it wasn't cute or neat. it was mystical and odd and clean, and it was reaching into dirty. there was wonder in it and enchantment."
"i always thought the bible was more of a salad thing, you know, but it isn't. it is a chocolate thing."

“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!” - Jack Kerouac
“We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls." - Mother Teresa
