I get it, and I want more.”

“My fair one, let us swear an eternal friendship.”
“My fairest Daphne,
Treasure of my eyes,
Pearl of my heart,
Whose beauty is as lovely,
As a blooming laurel tree in spring,
With eyes as green as sparkling emeralds,
And hair as bright as a burning fire,
At first sight, this fair maiden captured my heart,
As she silently sat there,
Reading underneath a laurel tree,
While patiently waiting for her prince to come,
One glimpse at her and I knew,
That I was lost to her forever,
Even in my curious green state,
With nothing else to hold,
But my lily pad floating above the pond,
Alas, I understood,
That she was the one,
The owner of my beating heart,
If only she but knew.”

They bloomed from the ashes of who you were to where you were meant to be."”

“My faith has been tempered in Hell. My faith has emerged from the flames of the crematoria, from the concrete of the gas chamber. I have seen that it is not man who is impotent in the struggle against evil, but the power of evil that is impotent in the struggle against man. The powerlessness of kindness, of senseless kindness, is the secret of its immortality. It can never be conquered. The more stupid, the more senseless, the more helpless it may seem, the vaster it is. Evil is impotent before it. The prophets, religious teachers, reformers, social and political leaders are impotent before it. This dumb, blind love is man's meaning.
Human history is not the battle of good struggling to overcome evil. It is a battle fought by a great evil struggling to crush a small kernel of human kindness. But if what is human in human beings has not been destroyed even now, then evil will never conquer.”

“My faith in God is everything at this point. Also, my family and friends that I've had around me pretty much my whole life and my boyfriend, we've been together for eight years.
