“What is between them is without blame.Love knows no right or wrong.Love is. Only is.”

“There's never been a true war that wasn't fought between two sets of people who were certain they were in the right. The really dangerous people believe they are doing whatever they are doing solely and only because it is without question the right thing to do. And that is what makes them dangerous.”

“That strange, twisted, torn love. That conflict between what your heart knows is right and what your mind is told is right.”

“The call to faith, in this light, is not some test of a coy god, waiting to see if we "get it right." It is the only summons, issued under the only conditions, which can allow us fully to reveal who we are, what we most love, and what we most devoutly desire. Without constraint, without any form of mental compulsion, the act of belief becomes the freest possible projection of what resides in our hearts...The greatest act of self-revelation occurs when we choose what we will believe, in that space of freedom that exists between knowing that a thing is, and knowing that a thing is not.”

“The only way of knowing a person is to love them without hope.”

“What you think you know don’t mean nothin.There is a difference between thinking and knowing. You might think you know something; you might even think you know it pretty well. But there are some things that you can’t ever know without having lived them. Without doing, thinking does not become knowing.”
