“For me to be a saint means to be myself. Therefore the problem of sanctity and salvation is in fact the problem of finding out who I am and of discovering my true self.”

“There is only one problem on which all my existence, my peace, my happiness depend: to discover myself in discovering God. If I find Him I will find myself and if I find my true self I will find Him.”

“My self-confidence comes from the fact that I have discovered my own dimensions. It does not behoove me to make myself smaller than I am.”

“If people have a problem who I choose to hang out with – that is their problem. I am not in the habit of allowing other people’s opinions and problems interfere with my own life.”

“You know, Drake, I seem to recall this impertinent young pup who once told me that problems shared are problems solved. (Jake)And I seem to recall a surly pirate telling me to mind my own business or I’d find myself gutted. (Morgan)”

“There had been a time when I owned my life and now I felt like I was coming around to myself again. It's like I've finally discovered bones in myself I never knew I had. I discovered that it takes bravery to be one's self. I now know that the only thing I needed to be afraid of was of not finding my true self and having the courage to be me.”
