“Faith is a footbridge that you don't know will hold you up over the chasm until you're forced to walk out onto it.”

“Faith isn't faith... until it's all you're holding onto.”

“If you let hope inside, it takes you over. It feeds on your insides and uses your bones to climb and grow. Eventually it becomes the thing that is your bones, that holds you together. Holds you up until you don't know how to live without it anymore. To pull it out of you would kill you entirely.”

“You're swimming so hard in this ocean. Don't you know if you float, it will always hold you up?”

“Take your practiced powers and stretch them out until they span the chasm between contradictions ... for the god wants to know himself in you.”

“Life is just a series of peaks and troughs. And you don't know whether you're in a trough until you're climbing out, or on a peak until you're coming down. And that's it you know, you never know what's round the corner. But it's all good. "If you want the rainbow, you've gotta put up with the rain." Do you know which "philosopher" said that? Dolly Parton. And people say she's just a big pair of tits.”
