“I want the presence of God Himself, or I don't want anything at all to do with religion... I want all that God has or I don't want any.”
“I believe in God, and I love my brother. But I don't want any religion that will demand I lose my individuality.”
“But God knows, I don't want anyone but you. I don't even want to want anyone but you.”
“But I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin.”
“I want to be with God all the time. But I don't want to be a monk, or totally give up worldly pleasures. I guess what i want to learn is how to live in this world and enjoy its delights, but also devote myself to God.”
“I don't want to sleep,' my mother said. 'I want -- for God's sake, I want to wake up.”
