"Now, I would like to make a difference. ... God has given me this new chance."
Paris Hilton, in a phone interview with Barbara Walters from jail, as quoted in the Associated Press. It's nice to see that God has a plan for Paris Hilton. I was worried for a moment that she wouldn't have anything to do once she got out of jail.

"I was kind of praying to God. I was saying, 'I don't care if it's worth whatever it's worth, I don't care if it's a tiny little sliver of something, I just want something.' Ten minutes later, I just found it."
Thirteen-year-old Nicole Ruhter, relating the story of how she discovered a 2.93-carat diamond at the Crater of Diamonds State Park in Murfreesboro, Ark., as quoted by the Associated Press. What are the odds of finding a diamond in a park called the Crater of Diamonds State Park, where an average of two diamonds are found each day? If only she had actually been praying to God instead of “kind of praying” she might have found this: a diamond-encrusted skull.
