“If where we are now and whatever we are going through does not motivate us to leave this world better than the way we met it, we are in this world for wrong reasons.”

“Maybe none of us can choose who we love, Cas. None of the lucky ones, anyway. The only choice we have is how we serve that love. And Ethan’s made his choice. What about you? Are you going to reject it, or make the best of what you’ve been given?”

“I loved the feeling of not being in charge for a change and having no other choice but to let go, and hope for the best.”

“She always picks the most boring things on the rack, always in basic black. If it’s shaped like a sack, even better.””Maybe it feels easier that way, just being invisible instead of always worrying what people think of you.”Nim’s voice was surprisingly emphatic. “But that’s a choice too, right?

“honestly i don’t understand the rousing of romance all that well. i used to believe in this thing called fate, or destiny. a romantic romeo and juliet, monet and veronica, etc. but now i feel jaded, maybe agnostic to the idea.but choice used to seem so unromantic, as if some mystic force was not behind the meeting of 2 beautiful individuals. but now i think choice is the greater of the two simply for this fact: by choosing someone you are saying that out of all the people in the entire world i have decided that i want you apart of my life in perpetuum, for the rest of my life, and no one else.no haphazard circumstance, no chance meetings where distant planets align. it’s simply two rational individuals who make a choice and an effort to remain together.”

We have a choice: to follow the way of this world, of the society that surrounds us, and thereby find ourselves outside of God; or to choose the way of life, to choose God Who calls us and for Whom our heart is searching.”

“Contrary to what we’ve been told, life is simple. We complicate matters with our choices.”

“Faith is the choice of the nobler hypothesis.’ Not the noblest, one never knows what that is. But the nobler, the best one can see when the choice is made.”

“You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control the way you think about all the events. You always have a choice. You can choose to face them with a positive mental attitude.”
