“We don't change what we are, we change what we think what we are.”

“Don't go through life, grow through life.”

“Where you are in consciousness has everything to do with what you see in experience.”

“I may bring other women here, to this place, and I may tell them I love them, and make love to them. But they will be impostors. And I will be a ghost. Because it means I will have lost you. My body, my brain, my lungs, my stomach, my guts, legs, arms will be here but I won't be. I will be out there, looking for you. And if we meet somewhere, at a restaurant, or a party and I'm with someone, I want you to know that they are by my side only because you are not. And she will be beautiful.

The music of faith, hope and charity will be somewhere in its strain.”
