“Yet even differences prove helpful, where there are tolerance, charity and Truth.”

“Tolerance is not a Christian value. Charity, justice, mercy, prudence, honesty--these are Christian values.”

“Each of those photos proves a different thing. All those things add up to the truth.”

“How can we know the true meaning of charity if we don't even know how to help those closest to us?”

“The truth is that in our lives we are all going to encounter questions that should be answered, that deserve to be answered, and yet prove unanswerable.”

“I told him the truth, that I loved him and didn't regret anything about our lives together. But do we ever 'tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me God' as my father used to say, to those we love? Or even to ourselves? Don't even the best and most fortunate of lives hint at other possibilities, at a different kind of sweetness and, yes, bitterness too? Isn't this why we can't help feeling cheated, even when we know we haven't been?”
