“Freedom from obsession is not about something you do; it's about knowing who you are. It's about recognizing what sustains you and what exhausts you. What you love and what you think you love because you believe you can't have it. (p. 163)”

“Love isn't about what you have or who you know. It's about how you earn what you have and how you treat those you love.”

“Life is about whoyou are and what you believen. Or life is about who you are and what you do. So if you try something stupid think then keep. Life is a gift from god to live. Love is a gift from a Greek god and that you share it with some one.”

“It's great that you can listen and be a shoulder to someone, but what about when someone doesn't need a shoulder? What if they need the arms or something like that? You can't just sit there and put everybody's lives ahead of yours and think that counts as love. You just can't. You have to do things.”

“It's all you think about, all you talk about, and all you want us to talk about. What in the world would we call something like that? Oh, yeah! An obsession!”

“Drinking is something people do; it's not what you are. But when it becomes what you are, you need to think about becoming something else.”
