The great problem with poisoning by Bitterness was that the passions - hatred, love, despair, enthusiasm, curiosity - also ceased to manifest themselves. After a while, the embittered person felt no desire at all. They lacked the will either to live or to die, that was the problem.

The Lord heareth the prayers of those who ask to put aside hatred. But he is deaf to those who would flee from love.

Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worse kind of suffering.

God, I am trying to recover my faith. Please don't abandon me in the middle of this adventure, I prayed, pushing my fears aside.

Empty your mind, stop thinking about anything, simply be.

Don't try to be brave when it is enough to be intelligent.

When you know how to use it, disobedience can be a virtue.
