Additional quotes by John O'Donohue
And here are we, even if we are old, we still have time, and time is always full of possibility.

The imagination is the gateway to a full life, and people who awaken their imagination come in to a force field of possibility and there are doors opening everywhere. I think it is unknown what you can do if you begin to see it.
