“He was like a god to her. What happens when your god dies? Sebastian wondered. When someone is your sun and moon and stars, and then you discover something, something that reveals a hitherto unknown weakness so fundamental, so shattering that it destroys not only your trust in the other person, but your respect, too.Some people never recover from that kind of disillusionment.”

“The sun, moon, and stars God gave to the world, but He embedded their glories in your countenance just for me. Woven in your hair are the sun's shimmering golden rays. From your face glows the pale luminescence of the moon. And in your eyes God sprinkled a million stars to twinkle against a backdrop of endless night. You are my celestial light.”

“[A God-thing is] when something happens in your life, and you look at it and can't explain how or why it happened, but you know there's a reason for it. You know that God is doing something in your life, and it changes you. There's no other way to explain it except to see it as a God thing.”

“When you see a good person, think of becoming like her/him. When you see someone not so good, reflect on your own weak points.”

“To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did. When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, butmerely opening your hands to receive something better. Concentrate onthis sentence... 'The will of God will never take you where the Grace ofGod will not protect you.”

“When you recover or discover something that nourishes your soul and brings joy, care enough about yourself to make room for it in your life.”
