“Goodness can endure a few moments; holiness is life-defining.”
“Sometimes a moment defines you, defines how people see you for the rest of your life. You can accept it or fight it. If you're lucky, you'll recognize the moment when it happens.”
“Moments of compassion are the most holy moments of life.”
“If a life can be ruined in a single moment, a moment of betrayal, or violence, or ill luck, then why can a life not also be saved, be worth living, be made, by just a few pure moments of perfection?”
“When you believe you reflect what is holy and good, you can see more that is good in every stage of your life. (319)”
“You never know when a moment and a few sincere words can have an impact on a life.”
