“قلت لك سابقًا إن المسؤولية تبدأ من الأحلام.. تستحق هذه الجملة أن تُكتب بالبنط العريض على أوراقنا، فاليد قصيرة مهما كان الذراع طويلًا، أما الأحلام تطير بعيدًا طموحة جامحة.. إنها جراحة ترقيعية تتعدى قفص الوجود.”

“He sees her looking at him with interest, and is encouraged to go on. I wouldn t be here with you now. This wouldn t be real - something else would. You d have been another you, instead of the one you are now. You can t be tied down to a predestined fate when you change according to your situation, and your fate must change too.

“Margaux looks around the table; this is not working. All of a sudden she s thinking about a safe room, something she s only heard of but suddenly wants: water, oxygen, bulletproof door, dead bolts, a thousand books. Utterly quiet. Completely silent. No girls she barely knows in saggy leather pants, no girls in mesh strippers gloves and jeans sanded thin as a bee s wing, and no girls who can t stay home one night a year because they are always and forever out. On their way to. Coming from. And then her heart open. Just a little, but it does. Because she remembers all that. How she felt then: the self-reproach, the utter confusion... That s why her heart opens. For those girls at the table who always feel baffled and sad, tender and malign, repulsive and desirable, innocent and contemptuous of innocence. So she cries. For them, mostly. For herself a little... everything hesitates. So that for a second there s no sound in the enormous room but that of Margaux sobbing.”

“We can make our own plans and judge them by our narrow expectations, or we can experience life as the boundless reality of the One who created it.”
“I thought the morning would bring change. But I should have known that it doesn t take that long for change to happen - it takes a second. A moment. In a single breath, reality as you know it can simply fall away.”
“They have their opinions, but we have the answers.”
“A Writer is Actor, Creator, Director & Producer Of HIS Life. Ask ME anything.”
“...you can pretend that bad things will never happen. But life s a lot easier if you realize and admit that sometimes they do.”
“For most people, blaming others is a subconscious mechanism for avoiding accountability. In reality, the only thing in your way is YOU.”
