“it hurts me when we can only travel a short stretch on the same road”

“I figure when you come to a crossroads, you have a choice: right turn, left turn, straight ahead. Or you can just pull over to the side of the road and call it quits. But if you've got a good stretch of road up ahead and someone fun to travel it with, why stay stuck in the galdern ditch?”

“...Any fool can love somebody who's perfect, somebody who does everything right. But that doesn't stretch your soul. Your soul only gets stretched when you can still love somebody after they've hurt you.”

“Hurt leads to bitterness, bitterness to anger. Travel too far that road and the way is lost.”

“God loves us as we are, but He also loves. ... God doesn't care what roads we've traveled, only that our roads turn to Him.”

“The road that is built in hope is more pleasant to the traveler than the road built in despair, even though they both lead to the same destination.”
