“She has given me a way out.”

“God has given me so much. He expects so much out of me.”

“Wrestling through her introspection has coloured  her views of life, people and relationships. And working it out, with all the excitement, pain and fear that went with it, has given her a strong sense of herself. She knows who she is because of it. Not only that: it has given her a strong bond to those who are also, in different ways and for different reasons, disconnected from society. ironically, she is connected to the Aaron's and Kyra's of this world by the fact that they are each of them disconnected.”

“All the barriers were gone. I had unwound the string she had given me, and found my way out of the labyrinth to where she was waiting. I loved her with more than my body.”

“He has robbed me, yet he has given me something of greater value . . . he has given to me myself.”

“No matter how offensive she's been to me, she continues to act as if she has some sort of God-given right to keep coming back for more favors.”
