“All I know is that the closer I get to God, the deeper I get into the Bible, and the heavier the burden seems on my shoulders.”

“The closer I get to God, is the farther I get from this world”

“When the burden of life becomes heavier, when it starts crushing our shoulders with all its might, it is time to be stronger!”

“You said I know that this will hurtBut if I don't break your heartThen things will just get worseIf the burden seems too much to bearRemember, the end will justify the pain it took to get us there”

“Yes, I pray and go to church and read my Bible. But sometimes I shake my fist at God. It's not the picture of peace I realize, and I certainly make no claims of wearing the armor of God. I'm lucky if I can get the underwear of decency on, all right?”

“I want to find my way to where you are-you, the Kumiko who wants me to rescue her...I wanted to let you know that. I'm getting closer to where you are, and I intend to get closer still.”
