“Take advantage of it now, while you are young, and suffer all you can, because these things don’t last your whole life.”

The only regret I will have in dying is if it is not for love.

What is essential, therefore, is not that you no longer believe, but that God continues to believe in you.

Nothing in this world was more difficult than love.

The people one loves should take all their things with them when they die.

Very well, I will marry you if you promise not to make me eat eggplant.

We’ll grow old waiting.

And it was always without pretensions of loving or being loved although always in the hope of finding something that resembled love but without the problems of love.

I have found that– just as in real life–imagination sometimes has to stand in for experience.

My professional life has nothing to do with my personal life and vice versa.

When you look at a person, any person, everyone has a story. Everyone has gone through something that has changed their life. Anxiety, depression and panic attacks are not signs of weakness. They are signs of trying to remain strong for way too long.

Focusing intently on Christ naturally results in a lifestyle of increasingly greater selflessness. And it has another benefit. Gazing on Christ gives us greater ability to look past life’s trials and remain calm in the midst of what others would call chaos.
