I don't know what frightens me more

Suffering is how we test our love especially our love for God.

Friendship is also a kind of medicine, and the markets for it, too, are sometimes black.

A man trusts another man when he sees enough of himself in him.

Some feelings sink so deep into the heart that only loneliness can help you find them again.

you can't kill love. you can't even kill it with hate. you can kill in-love, and loving, and even loveliness. you can kill them all, or numb them into dense, leaden regret, but you can't kill love itself. love is the passionate search for a truth other than your own; and once you feel it, honestly and completely, love is forever. every act of love, every moment of the heart reaching out, is a part of the universal good: it's a part of God, or what we call God, and it can never die.

In the face of all that is so wrong with the world, the very worst thing you can do is survive. And yet you must survive. It is this dilemma that makes us believe and cling to the lie that we have a soul, and that there is a God who cares about its fate.
