I have come to realize that destiny can hurt a person as much as it can bless him.

You can't see the forest for the trees.

Setting is a major aspect in writing all of my books, both in terms of natural and cultural environments.

The search for God's presence was much of a mystery as God himself, and what was God if not a mystery?

And when I came in with tears in my eyes, you always knew whether I needed you to hold me or just let me be. I don't know how you knew, but you did, and you made it easier for me.

Gifts of the heart can't be claimed by anyone except the giver.

If you love Alex now, then love him forever. Make him laugh again, and cherish the time you spend together. Take walks and ride your bikes, curl up on the couch and watch movies beneath a blanket. Make him breakfast, but don't spoil him. Let him make breakfast for you as well, so he can show you he thinks you're special. Kiss him and make love to him and consider yourself lucky for having met him, for he's the kind of man who'll prove you right.
