Henry Schaefer
“I am a theoretical chemist by profession… My research consists of using mathematical equations and computers to understand the electronic structure of molecules… If you were to ask the average Ph.D. chemist what Professor Henry Schaefer's most important discovery was, he or she would probably say ‘the structure of methylene.’”

“…a man called Evel Knievel came to town… Over the next two years, Gene was to be Evel's right-hand man, body guard, and setup man. Knievel' s commitment to his death defying cause was attractive, because there was nothing phony about the man's dedication to overcome life's biggest threat...death!”
Christopher Parkening
“For over a quarter century, I have been known in the classical music world as a concert guitarist… I signed with Columbia Artists Management for a rigorous concert schedule touring the United States, Canada, Europe, and Asia, eventually performing over 90 concerts a year!”
Dusty Donnay
“I became quite a good artist, I won over 100 awards in all for tattooing excellence, I’ve even been featured in several magazines, and at the same time I got to know the lord very well.”
Ian Dale
“I was often lonely and depressed, obsessive and craving attention and importance. The ‘drug’ that got me through all this was my art, something I had always enjoyed and excelled at, and was a great source of encouragement from others… I became obsessed with winning awards and fame through my art, hoping one day even to rival Michelangelo or Picasso in importance. That would be my immortality…”
Kate Adamson
“What is success to you? New car? Money? Summer cruises? A growing, successful organization? On June 28, 1995, I had it all. On June 29, all I had wasn't important. To me, the only success that mattered was learning to blink my eyes.”

“Lord, I prayed, if you want me to write, let this novella be accepted. If you want me to forget writing altogether, let it be rejected…. I was invited to re-submit it in two years. TWO YEARS. It might as well be a lifetime… she wanted to sign me to a three-book contract—an almost unheard of thing with an unknown writer! Almost four years had gone by. I am now on my fourth contract with this publishing house.”

“I felt I needed to turn to something else to fill the void. I still thought that I did not need God. I still was angry with Him for not giving me what I asked Him for. My career became my idol. I worshiped my idol fervently.”
Ruth Axtell Morren (1)
“In their eighties by the time I was ten or twelve, they showed me that women can be more than housewives and mothers. They had both gone to college in an era when few women of their generation did so. My great-aunt had had a career all her life.”

“I have a piano gig at a local bistro. I'm a professional musician, too, I play guitar, piano and I sing.”
