-Dean Koontz, What the Night Knows
 
"The most secret, sacred wish that lies deep down at the bottom of your heart, the wonderful thing that you hardly dare to look at, or to think about--the thing that you would rather die than have anyone else know of, because it seems so far beyond anything you are, or have at the present time, that you fear that you would be cruelly ridiculed if the mere thought of it were known--that is just the very thing that God is wishing you to do or to be for Him. And the birth of that marvelous wish in your soul--the dawning of that secret dream--was the Voice of God Himself telling you to arise and come up higher because He has need of you."
