“When someone sees the same people every day, as had happened with him at the seminary, they wind up becoming a part of that person's life. And then they want the person to change. If someone isn't what others want them to be, the others become angry. Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own.”

“Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.”

“I cannot compromise my respect for your love. You can keep your love, I will keep my respect.”
