“Here lies hidden the great call to conversion: to look not with the eyes of my own low self-esteem, but with the eyes of God’s love. As long as I keep looking at God as a landowner, as a father who wants to get the most out of me for the least cost, I cannot but become jealous, bitter, and resentful toward my fellow workers or my brothers and sisters. But if I am able to look at the world with the eyes of God’s love and discover that God’s vision is not that of a stereotypical landowner or patriarch but rather that of an all-giving and forgiving father who does not measure out his love to his children according to how well they behave, then I quickly see that my only true response can be deep gratitude.”

“I had spent all that time wishing I could magically get better, when I just had to make things better for myself. I had to stop trying to be something I wasn't. I had to stop hating myself and thinking about all the ways I was wrong. I had to stop calling myself Psycho Sara. My name was Sara Malvern, and I wasn't very normal at all.”

“Because I claim to know where I am at does not mean that I am at the place that I claim to be. For quite frequently the 'claim' represents my attempt to be what I am not, while the 'place' represents my attempts to not be what I am.”

“What's the voice telling you now?" Chloe says. I pluck the thought like a poison berry and force it to my lips. "That I can't do this." Chloe tightens her grip on me. "And what do you say back?" Another thought blooms on my lips, the taste this time somewhere between bitter and sweet. "That I will.”

“It's about my own self-concept. Can I accept that I am worth looking for? Here lies the core of my spiritual struggle: the struggle against self-rejection, self-contempt, and self-loathing. It is a very fierce battle because the world and its demons conspire to make me think about myself as worthless, useless, and negligible. As long as I am kept “small,” I can easily be seduced to buy things, meet people, or go places that promise a radical change in self-concept even though they are totally incapable of bringing this about. But every time I allow myself to be thus manipulated or seduced, I will have still more reasons for putting myself down and seeing myself as the unwanted child.”
