- "Vocation is a gradual revelation--of me to myself by God" - James Whitehead
- "Deep within us all, there is an amazing inner sanctuary of the soul, a holy place, a Divine Grace, a speaking Voice, to which we may continuously return. Eternity is at our hearts, pressing upon our time-worn lives, warming us with intimations of an astounding destiny, calling us home unto itself." - Thomas Kelly.
- "To listen for God is a countercultural enterprise, for much in our lives works against the patient labor of attentiveness." - Margaret Guenther
- "There is a reason ... that more people do not find the silence and listen to the inner voice. They are afraid to do so. The truth is that in our culture we fear silence precisely because something from within might speak to us." - John Sanford
- "The sense of vocation arises at the point where a crying need, a call, an appeal seems to be addressed to us that we can only answer by sharing the endowments, talents, and skills we have been given." - Sam Keen
