““But here's the point: at times you may feel the hard things you're doing can't make a difference-- just like a solitary finger snap seems so quiet and one raindrop seems so insignificant. But when you have an entire generation snapping their fingers, when you have an entire generation being faithful in their spheres with their own gifts and opportunities... Without any cue, the audience starts snapping their fingers, then patting their legs, then clapping, then stomping... ...and the single raindrops become a flood.””
