“This morning could have been perfect. The cruel truth is they have never been. Give us loneliness or give us death.”

“You'd think the Angel would have been foresighted enough to give us a birth-control rune, but no dice.”

“It would have been perfect if my grandfather hadn't interrupted us.”

“We all have morning rituals that give us the comfort of familiarity even if our days are unknowns.”

“What if the beauty around us is meant as a reminder for the many gifts we have been given and our need to give thanks to them?”

“let us thank God for having made us this gift of death, so that life is to have meaning; of night, that day is to have meaning; silence, that speech is to have meaning; illness, that health is to have meaning; war, that peace is to have meaning. Let us give thanks to Him for having given us weariness and pain, so that rest and joy are to have meaning. Let us give thanks to him, whose wisdom is infinite.”
