“You accept that people are the way they are. There's nothing you can do about it, exceptlearn ways to minimize the damage they can do to you. It's like rain. We don't feel a need to forgivethe sky for raining on a day when we really wanted sunshine, do we? No. We might be upset anddisappointed, but the need to forgive never enters our mind.”

“We can't always do what we think we have to do. So when there's nothing else you can do, you wait... No matter what... pressure... you might feel.”

“The way I feel about you will never change. Of course I love you—and there's nothing you can do about it!”“That's all I needed to hear.”

“Our hearts do not need logic.They can love and forgive and accept that which our minds cannot comprehend.Hearts understand in ways minds cannot.”

“To know the way, we go the way, we do the way.The way we do,the things we do,it's all there in front of you.But if you try too hard to see it,you'll only become confused.I am me and you are you.As you can see; but when you do the things that you can do, you will find the way.The way will follow you.”

“I no longer believe that we can keep silent. We never really do, mind you. In one way or another we articulate what has happened to us through the kind of people we become.”
