“To love another person is to see the face of God.”

“As a community, you’ve inspired us, Newtown. In the face of indescribable violence, in the face of unconscionable evil, you’ve looked out for each other. You’ve cared for one another. And you’ve loved one another. This is how Newtown will be remembered, and with time and God’s grace, that love will see you through.
But we as a nation, we are left with some hard questions.”

“If in thirst you drink water from a cup, you see God in it. Those who are not in love with God will see only their own faces in it.”

“Infatuation's just another word for not seeing clearly. When you start to love a person- that's when they become real”

“Faith sees God's face in every human face.”

“True love means that you care for another person's happiness more than your own, no matter how painful the choices you face might be.”

“When a person loves another very much, she greatly wished to meet that person. Why then should I be afraid of death? Death brings us to God.”

“When the love of God enters one's psyche, it is as if God becomes that persons ears to listen from, eyes to see with, hand to hold things with and feet to walk with, it is then that no remnant of wickedness is left in that person.”

“It's such a liability to love another person.”

“…I finally understood what true love really meant. …that love meant that you care for another person's happiness more than your own, no matter how painful the choices you face might be.”
