Sposala e muori per lei. Uomini veri per donne senza paura Quotes

“The problem to end all problems is that it's quite easy to find a man who's ready to die in battle, for an ideal, for glory, maybe even his favorite soccer team in some cases. But it is extremely difficult to find a man wedded to the idea of dying for his family, for his wife and children, for an apparently banal daily life; yet the truth is that this would be the most heroic act you could ever imagine. It's not the grand gesture of one moment in time but rather a martyrdom -- a long, constant, and incredibly fruitful martyrdom. It's difficult for a man to see the beauty in this daily sacrifice, often made up of a series of burdens, annoyances, frustrations, and setbacks. Only by stepping back and seeing things from a different, even eternal, perspective does the messy wall become a brave and definitive bas relief -- a work of art.”

“The fact is that whatever life we choose for ourselves, we will always have limits. And it's good that it should be like that, because we are limited beings. We can't ignore the fact that we are incapable of seeing on our own what is good for us, incapable even of asking in prayer for what is good for us. This convinces us that, in the words of Genesis, "It is not good that man should be alone." It helps us realize that each of us should give our lives to another, whether that be a creature or the Creator Himself. If you give yourself to a fellow creature, that person will not be able, on his own, to definitely fill you and satisfy you, but he will accompany you on your path, because no one can or should walk alone. No one sees himself or herself as he or she is; it's the look of the other person that tells you who you are.”
