“They said I was hope. . .I couldn't be what I thought they'd wanted me to be. . .but hope isn't denying who you are or what you've been through; what you lost. Hope is knowing what you carry with you. How heavy is the load. How easy it'd be to stay still, to do nothing. To yield to the weight and fall to the mud. And yet despite that burden, or maybe because of it, you're still running.”

“God has not been trying an experiment on my faith or love in order to find out their quality. He knew it already. It was I who didn't. In this trial He makes us occupy the dock, the witness box, and the bench all at once. He always knew that my temple was a house of cards. His only way of making me realize the fact was to knock it down.”

“Boys. . .didn't make a show of friendship. They felt no urge, no need. . .boys. . .treated friendship the way they treated the sun: it's existence undisputed, it's radiance best enjoyed, not beheld directly”

“. . .High school is where we are first introduced to the basic existential question of life: How is it possible to exist in a place that sucks so bad? Most of the time middle school sucks even worse, but middle school is so pathetic that I can't even bring myself to write about it. . .”

“That. . .is the paradox, the part that is perplexing. It seems, that if we take theses stories too literally, if we expect our personal lives to always end with a handsome prince, most of us will close our books with shattered dreams. Yet, on the other hand. . .if we don't take the meaning of these stories literally, if we treat theses tales as simple entertainment, we miss the deepest most life-changing aspects of the stories. We miss the entire reason they exist.”
