“Anyone can be sentimental about the nativity; any fool can feel like a Christian at Christmas. But Easter is the main event; if you don’t believe in the resurrection, you’re not a believer."“If you don’t believe in Easter,” Owen Meany said. “Don’t kid yourself—Don’t call yourself a Christian.”
“But I think it has to do with what you believe about yourself. If you believe you’re damned, then you are. But if you don’t…”
“You’re stronger than you believe. Don’t let your fear own you. Own yourself.”
“And you plan to do this alone? You think a lot of yourself, don’t you animal? (Stone)Oh, punk, please. Believe me, when dealing with wusses like you who have to gang up on a kid to feel powerful, I don’t need any help. (Fang)”
“No matter how many people believe or don’t believe in you, you must bethe ultimate believer in yourself!”
“Don’t you rob yourself of what you’re feeling; don’t rob yourself of all that you could be.”
