“The pain was greater than the shame”

“No day passed that did not present an opportunity to become obsessed with a new area of concern.”

“Er machte keinen Hehl aus seiner Absicht, die sich in seinen verlangenden Augen widerspiegelte.Abwehrend wisperte sie: "Ich weiß, was du willst.""Hm, ich weiß auch, was ich will. Deswegen brauchst du es mir also nicht unbedingt sagen"(Zoey & Jin)”

“Oh, oh, no greater evil is there in this world, than the evil that lies in the hearts of those who repay good with evil. Oh no greater shame be upon anyone in this world, than the shame that be upon the heads of those who will not save the life that saved them. No greater evil, no greater shame. No greater trespass against God and angel and man; than a human who can say that they are entitled to repay good with evil.”

“Change happens when the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of change.”

“No one chooses to change until the pain of remaining the same is greater than the pain of change.”

“Natasha, in her lilac silk dress trimmed with black lace walked, as women can walk, with the more repose and stateliness the greater the pain and shame in her soul.”
