“What do we do with ourselves when we find we have failed to become the adults we dreamed as pious children?”

“Sometimes we disfigure ourselves by what we think about ourselves rather than by what we do to ourselves. Some people have been disfigured emotionally because of what others did to them when they were children. Sometimes our memory banks become warehouses of beliefs and feelings that cripple our progress.”

“The worst lies are the lies we tell ourselves. We live in denial of what we do, even what we think. We do this because we're afraid.We fear we will not find love,and when we find it we fear we'll lose it. We fear that if we don't have love we will be unhappy.”

“It is good to be taught humility when we are young. If we do not exeperience pain as children, we will cause pain as adults.”

“Fer in our dreams we find ourselves. Who we were. Who we are. Who we can become. Sleep. Dream.”

“We all have our dreams. May we find them, and God have mercy on us when we do.”
