“Eu era linda, mesmo aos catorze anos. Ah, eu sei que o mundo prefere mulheres que não tem noção do próprio poder, mas estou de saco cheio disso. A verdade é que quando eu passava, as pessoas olhavam. Eu não tinha orgulho nenhum disso. Não fui eu que fiz meu rosto assim. Nem o meu corpo, Mas também não vou sentar aqui e dizer 'Aí, sério? As pessoas me achavam bonita mesmo? Como uma garotinha fútil.”

“Lord, if I thought you were listening, I'd pray for this above all: that any church set up in your name should remain poor, and powerless, and modest. That it should wield no authority except that of love. That it should never cast anyone out. That it should own no property and make no laws. That it should not condemn, but only forgive. That it should be not like a palace with marble walls and polished floors, and guards standing at the door, but like a tree with its roots deep in the soil, that shelters every kind of bird and beast and gives blossom in the spring and shade in the hot sun and fruit in the season, and in time gives up its good sound wood for the carpenter; but that sheds many thousands of seeds so that new trees can grow in its place. Does the tree say to the sparrow, 'Get out, you don't belong here?' Does the tree say to the hungry man, 'This fruit is not for you?' Does the tree test the loyalty of the beasts before it allows them into the shade?”

“Here is also a direction. It’s impossible to have any trajectory or speed of motion without starting here. Here is our beginning, and every great story requires an origin.”

“I’ve got too much history of thinking about how you present yourself. I think that I get known for being a motormouth, but when introspection is provoked, I can’t help but make it a bit of therapy.”

“No one can hold me accountable. That is a job for my conscience and my soul. I am the only judge of what I am capable of, because who really knows me but me? Who really understands the road I have traveled if they can't even find it on a map?”

“He knew he was at time brooding, and that he could be brusque, and that—as evidenced here yesterday—he had trouble concealing suspicions of sketchy people, circumstances, or stories. He grew up with three sisters, so he had no choice but to be fairly self-aware.”

“We may think we’re self-aware- who could know us better?- but sometimes we can’t see (or smell) ourselves as clearly as the people around us. Think about that- the moments where you can’t see what everyone else is seeing about you. You can’t see yourself because you’re too close to yourself.”
