“It is difficult, when faced with a situation you cannot control, to admit you can do nothing.”
“Stevie: (Not listening) That you can do these two things... and not understand how it... SHATTERS THE GLASS!!?? How it cannot be dealt with-how stop and forgiveness have nothing to do with it? and how I am destroyed? How you are? How I cannot admit it though I know it!? How I cannot deny it because I cannot admit it!? Cannot admit it, because it is outside of denying!?”
“But sometimes you lose. Nothing you can do but admit it.-Eli”
“It is difficult to see a situation for what it is when you are in the midst of it.”
“You can always improve your situation. But you do so by facing it, not by running away.”
“Although you may not always be able to avoid difficult situations,you can modify the extent to which you can suffer by how you choose to respond to the situation.”
