“You fake (fake!) god damnationYou pray (pray!) for salvation'cause your heart is made of stoneYou can die and rot alone-Alone”
“[...]alone you stood before God when he called you; alone you had to answer that call; alone you had to struggle and pray; and alone you will die and give an account to God. If you refuse to be alone you are rejecting Christ's call to you, and you can have no part in the community of those who are called.”
“So you're all alone. And, for a short while, at least until it sinks in, you can fake anything.”
“To pray with others is good. To pray alone is even better.”
“Carmen prayed hard. She prayed while standing near the priest in hopes it would give her request extra credibility. What she prayed for was nothing. She prayed that God would look on them and see the beauty of their existence and leave them alone.”
“Sincerity - if you can fake that, you've got it made.”
