“أنا أعرَف منكِ بالجحيم الذي يطوق حياتى من كل جانب ، و بالجنة التى لا أستطيع أن أكرهها ، و بالحريق الذي يشتعل في عروقي ، و بالصخرة التى كُتب عليّ أن أجرّها و تجرّني إلى حيث لا يدري أحد”

“If we care to know how deep the suffering of Christ goes—and how vast and even violent is the restoration process through Christ’s suffering—then we had better start with knowing the dark, cruel reality of the fallen world. If we care to embrace hope despite what encompasses us, the impossibility of life and the inevitability of death, then we must embrace a vision that will endure beyond our failures. We should not journey toward a world in which”solutions” to the “problems” are sought, but a world that acknowledges the possibility of the existence of grace beyond even the greatest of traumas, the Ground-Zero realities of our lives.”

“Jedan trkač je govorio o magijskoj izreci kojoj ga je njegov stariji brat, također trkač, naučio i koja ga prožima još otkad se počeo baviti trčanjem. Evo te mantre: Bol je neminovna. Patnja je stvar izbora. Recimo da trčite i počnete razmišljati: "Ovo me baš boli, ne mogu dulje izdržati." Ta vrsta boli neizbježan je dio stvarnosti, ali o tome može li dulje izdržati ili ne, odluku donosi jedino trkač.”
