“We are born knowing how to be just. And we die knowing we spent a lifetime pretending we didn't.”
“We just didn't get it. We were weakened and exhilarated at the same time. A paranoiac's nightmare! A narcissist's dream! We didn't know how to feel: flattered or raped. Maybe both. We were puzzling at breakneck speed.”
“We all pretend for a while or for a lifetime. But pretending is not living...I believe that God meant for life to take our breath away, sometimes because of the sheer joy of it all and sometimes because of the severe pain. To choose living over pretending means that we will know both.”
“... we die, just as we were born, at the edge of a road not of our choosing.”
“Some people are just born human, the rest of us, we take a lifetime to get there.”
“everyone knows how to love because we are all born with that gift.”
