“Clawing its way towards us, the ugliness of the world tore away our hiding-place.”

“Our greatest pretenses are built up not to hide the evil and the ugly in us, but our emptiness. The hardest thing to hide is something that is not there.”

“In places like this, it's hard to imagine that the world can be so ugly,' Thomas said. 'This is how it was meant to be,' Priya replied. 'The ugliness is our own fault.”

“What is the Truth? It is that ugly thing so many want buried hidden away from our loved ones hidden away from the world yet is powerful enough to raise its head and break through the chains of denial we build to hold it in place.”

“A pregnancy tore up our lives. It's going to tear up hers. There's no hiding from that. A pregnancy's one of those things that doesn't hide well. It's kind of like trying to ignore an elephant in the living room.”

“Everything in this life passes away — only God remains, only He is worth struggling towards. We have a choice: to follow the way of this world, of the society that surrounds us, and thereby find ourselves outside of God; or to choose the way of life, to choose God Who calls us and for Whom our heart is searching.”
