“Shedding an independent, individualistic sense of self, is an apt place to start when remaking oneself. The task of divesting my egoistic coat-of-arms requires that I first understand how I came into being, ascertain how a person forges a baseline personality, and discover how I can modify my template for self-construal. I need to surrender an arrogant sense of self-importance, acknowledge towering ignorance, and learn how to live humbly. I hope to parlay personal humiliation and self-hatred into a transformative act by invoking a spiritual death of my egotistical being that results in a resurrection of a more astute and kinder human being.”

“Shedding: She asked "How can you keep shedding your past? Your failures, your losses, and people you once loved?" And I replied: "Because there are some things you just cannot keep. They have provided you with the lesson, and you have taken the growth, So what is left to hold onto? Keep shedding sweetheart. Keep finding new and wonderful strengths that you never imagined you owned, Climbing mountains you never thought you'd climb, And mending your wounded heart for yet another time Life is all about shedding. So don't keep hurting the softness of your soul. Life's most profound gifts are held in the hands of those who can learn so graciously to let go".”

“Sheean is onder de indruk van wat hij heeft meegemaakt. Hij krabbelt in zijn notitieboekje: Zijn [Abdelkrim] moed is prachtig. Zijn ideeën zijn niet veranderd, zijn zelfs versterkt door het huidige gevaar. Op basis van wat ik vandaag van hem heb gezien, weet ik dat ik voorheen geen idee van hem had. Hij heeft een grootsheid, versterkt door de omstandigheden van verschrikking en groot gevaar. Maar desondanks is hij humoristisch, grappig: hij laat me lachen, vooral wanneer hij een schoolmeesterachtige houding aanneemt en mijn Spaans corrigeert.”

“Sheer scholarship alone cannot reveal to us the gospel of grace. We must never allow the authority of books, institutions, or leaders to replace the authority of KNOWING Jesus Christ personally and directly. When the religious views of others interpose between us and the primary experience of Jesus as the Christ, we become unconvicted and unpersuasive travel agents handing out brochures to places we have never visited.”
