“I really wished to be like him so that he could feel the way I did but I realised I couldn’t hurt him so bad that he could damage the ability of some other person to trust someone else ever in his life.. he becomes a self loathing person.. he becomes someone is always filled with pain of being subjected, being used for pleasure and needs, being living in a constant feeling of not being enough.. I couldn’t become the manipulative person who could ruin someone’s confident in love and give a damn about it. I couldn’t become someone who could constantly lie and cheat to the person who stood by in thick and thin, did everything selflessly in the desire of getting loved the same way.. I really, really wanted to be like him.. I couldn’t.”

“To lovers out there…. It doesn’t matter how rich or poor you are. It doesn’t matter how educated or illiterate you are. It doesn’t matter how beautiful or ugly you are. It doesn’t matter how famous or unknown you are. It doesn’t matter how busy you are. At the end of the day. You need someone to share your life with. Love never exist when you are alone. Even if you have all the money in the world.”

“The liturgy of the Eucharist is best understood as a journey or procession. It is the journey of the Church into the dimension of the Kingdom. We use the word 'dimension' because it seems the best way to indicate the manner of our sacramental entrance into the risen life of Christ. Color transparencies 'come alive' when viewed in three dimensions instead of two. The presence of the added dimension allows us to see much better the actual reality of what has been photographed. In very much the same way, though of course any analogy is condemned to fail, our entrance into the presence of Christ is an entrance into a fourth dimension which allows us to see the ultimate reality of life. It is not an escape from the world, rather it is the arrival at a vantage point from which we can see more deeply into the reality of the world.”
