Famous A.D. Aliwat Quotes

“The thing about truth is that it’s not the same as fact. They’re synonyms but shouldn’t be, Haruka’s realized. Facts just are. Everything adds up, check out. Truth requires faith. It’s personal. It can change. Like with love. One day someone knows they love you—they feel it, they know it’s there—then the next day they don’t. They felt it then they didn’t. It happens. Most people trust truth more than they do facts. This is because people are stupid.”

“Truth—something between fact and faith—leads to God. ‘Love isn’t about rules. It’s a feeling. You know when it’s there and when it’s not, and it can be brought on by different things for different people. That, that’s truth. One’s truth leads to God. Some people see it in kindness, others in tough love, like you’re showing me. Someone’s truth is in what they love.’”

“The Bible’s imperfect, every religious text is imperfect. And that’s why they lead us closer to God. They make something simple complicated to keep our rapt attention. Like a puzzle to be worked out. Faith is a puzzle meant to take someone’s entire life to complete. But really, it doesn’t have to. It can be as easy as understanding love. That easy. Don’t just ‘be good.’ Love. Love as hard and as much as you can, especially with those who need it most. Take only what you need and give back far, far more. Love. Give love and give it without condition.”

“The internet is like everything that came before it, but so much more. More powerful than the greatest words ever written or spoken in any language, more powerful than any image or symbol ever seen, more powerful than hope or fear, more powerful than religion, faith itself, the totality of the human spirit. The invisible infinite that rules over our lives whether we want it to or not. But really, who doesn’t? Everyone wants a master, everyone needs some version of God.”
