“I was never fit to say a word to a sinner, except when I had a broken heart myself.”

“The sinner is at the heart of Christianity. No one is as competent as the sinner in matters of Christianity. No one, except a saint.”

“I was never really insane except upon occasions when my heart was touched.”

“All that I've gone through
Is what brought me here
So I can't regret a single thing, yeah
I've had my heart broken
I know what it takes to let go and move on
I see myself coming
And I've never been this strong.”

“For Christ is Joy and Sweetness to a broken heart. Christ is a Lover of poor sinners, and such a Lover that He gave Himself for us. Now if this is true, and it is true, then are we never justified by our own righteousness.”

“If there is one regret that I have had in my life, it is that I never fathered any children. There are times, when I look at what Fergus and Beryl have produced, when I consider myself fortunate, but there are also times when it breaks my heart.”

“I have packed myself into silence so deeply and for so long that I can never unpack myself using words. When I speak, I only pack myself a little differently.”

“Many a law, many a commandment have I broken, but my word never.”

“It is not fit that I should give myself pain, for I have never intentionally given pain even to another.”

“And I never expected that you could have a broken heart and love with it too, so much that it doesn't seem broken at all.”
