“Holiness isn’t something that just happens. It’s something that is nurtured, something that grows, something that is benefited by things like rhythm, stability — if you're always rushing and never quite can fit in your nightly prayers, well, then you wind up not praying a lot of times.”

“When your time is up, your time is up, and you've just got to pray to God that you've done something worthwhile with your life.”

“The mind understands something only insofar as it absorbs it like a seed into itself, nurtures it, and lets it grow into blossom and fruit. Therefore scatter holy seeds into the soil of the spirit.”

“All alone! Whether you like it or not, alone is something you'll be quite a lot!”

“A lot of people think packing a suitcase is something you learn through practice, like singing or praying.”

“You see that old woman? That will never happen to you. You will never grow old, and you will never die.
And it means something else too, doesn't it? I shall never ever grow up.”

“I'm dying for you just to touch me,
And feel all the energy rushing right up-a-me.
L'amour looks something like you.”

“It seems like every time you come up something happens to bring you back down.”

“Love isn’t something you have, it’s something you do.”

“Don't you long for something different to happen, something so exciting and new it carries you along with it like a great tide, something that lets your life blaze and burn so the whole world can see it?”
