21. Break the glass and free us from this damned rules, from needing to find an explanation for everything, from doing only what others approve.
22. Thank you Lord, because I was a lost sheep, and you brought me back. Because my life was dead, and you revived it. Because love wasnt alive in my heart and you gave me back that gift.
23. I am going to sit here with you by the river. If you go home to sleep i will sleep in front of your house. And if you go away, I will follow you, until you tell me to go away. Then ill leave, but i have to love you for the rest of my life.

Excerpt #2
11. Simply having the courage to say senseless things made me euphoric. I was free, with no need to seek or give explanations for what I was doing. This freedom lifted me to the heavens - where a greater love, one that forgives everything and never allows to feel abandoned, once again enveloped me.
12. It feels like my faith is coming back. - a joy that empowered my fears and was stronger than my attempts to control every second of my life.
13. I realized that my tears were a gift.
14. I think that God, in Her infinite wisdom, conceals heal in the midst of paradise - so that we will always be alert, so that we wont forget the pain as we experience the joy of compassion.
15. one you can love without taking so much risk.
16. I will not talk to my own darkness anymore.
17. A fall from the 3rd flr hurts as much as a fall from the hundredth.
18. Fate is strange - almost no one I know married the first love of their lives. Those who did are always telling me that they missed something important, that they did not experience all that they might have.
19. The closer we get to God through our faith, thesimpler He becomes. And the simpler He becomes, the greater His presence.
20. Resolve your own internal battle and break the glass.

Excerpt #1
1. There is no good reason for our suffering, for in every love lies the seed of growth. The more we love, the more closer we come to spiritual experience . Those who are truly enlightened, those whose sols are illuminated with love, have been able to overcome all of the inhibitions and perceptions of their era. They had been able to sing, to laugh, and to pray out loud.
2. Those who love conquer the world and have no fear of loss. True love is an act of total surrender.
3. Love is a trap. When it appears, we see only its light not its shadows.
4. Some people always have to do battle with someone, sometimes even with themselves, battling with their own lives. So they begin to create a kind of play in their head and they write the script based on their frustrations. But the worst part is that they cannot present the play themselves so they invited other actors to join in.
5. And having loved and suffered, she freed us from pain.
6. We no longer lived under the weight of guilt and sin.
7. I had already lived some pretty wild years. I got to see other people and other lands. I had already looked for God in the four corners of the earth. I had fallen in love with other women and worked in a number of different jobs.
8. If pain must come, may it come quickly. Because i have a life to live and I need to live in it the best way possible. If he has to make a choice, may he make it now. Then i will either wait or forget him... Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But now knowing what to do is the worst kind of suffering.
9. I prayed that this night - the night following a day that had been so long that i couldnt even remember how it had begun - would be an ephiphany. A new beginning for me.
10. God must have heard me. The words began to come more easily - and little by little they lost their everyday meaning. My embarrasment diminished, my confidence grew, and the words began to flow freely. Although I understood nothing of what I was saying, it all made sense to my soul.
