“When you lie things become harder to grasp, but honesty will take you right to the thing you desire.”

“If you take God out of it, then right and justice become small, human things. And weak things too.”

“Hold to a thing long enough, a secret, a desire, maybe a lie, and it will shape you.”

“Things just happen in the right way, at the right time. At least when you let them, when you work with circumstances instead of saying, 'This isn't supposed to be happening this way,' and trying harder to make it happen some other way.”

“The one thing I’d learned was that having someone with you all the time did not take away the loneliness. You could be surrounded by people and be lonely. Something was missing. I could almost pinpoint it, but right when it was within my grasp I forgot; it just slipped away.”

“When you put your passion into your desire, when it becomes a fire that threatens to consume you unless you have it, then your will is in the right place.”
