Make friends with the angels, who though invisible are always with you. Often invoke them, constantly praise them, and make good use of their help and assistance in all your temporal and spiritual affairs. – Saint Francis de Sales
I support mosques, obviously. We need churches, temples, mosques. Whatever people use to speak with their god or to receive spiritual inspiration is good for the country. But the symbolism of it at ground zero, within two blocks or three blocks, I believe is wrong. – Peter T. King
Supremely, spiritual directors/mentors/pastors are persons who have a sense of being ‘established’ in God. Otherwise they are too dangerous to be allowed into the soul space of others. – Richard Foster

I have always believed that the material world is governed by nonmaterial sources, so that in that sense ‘English Music’ is an exercise in the spiritual as well as the material. I have always been attracted to the Gothic and spiritual imagination, and I’ve always been interested in visionaries. – Peter Ackroyd
I think there are times when a song can be a spiritual experience – just making music, in general, is pretty much that. – Patty Griffin
