“The power of a word depends upon the emotion and the definition you give it.”

“Things, once gone, can’t be put back; he knew that now. A punch, once delivered, can’t be withdrawn. Words, once spoken, can’t be unsaid. We may go on as if nothing has been lost, nothing done, nothing said; we may claim to forget it all; but our innermost core doesn’t forget, because we have been changed for ever.”

“Hate is a terrible thing. It’s a wasteful, stupid emotion. You can hate someone with all your heart, but it’ll never do them a bit of harm. The only person it hurts is you. You can spend your days hating, letting it eat away at you, and the person you hate will go on living just the same. So, what’s the point?”

“Champions know the emotions you want to feel and help you feel them by remaining genuine to a noble intention.”

“Centuries telescoped into one evanescent moment. History was wrong-footed, caught off guard. Sloughed off like an old snakeskin. Its marks, its scars, its wounds from old wars and the walking backwards days all fell away. In its absence it left an aura, a palpable shimmering that was as plain to see as the water in a river or the sun in the sky. As plain to feel as the heat on a hot day, or the tug of a fish on a taut line. So obvious that no one noticed.”

“One cannot skip time, but only transcend it through innumerable memories that exemplifies human understanding.”

“Trust is not a gasoline-soaked blanket that succumbs to the matches of betrayal, never able to be used for its warmth again; it’s a tapestry that wears thin in places, but can be patched over if you have the right materials, circumstances, and patience to repair it. If you don’t, you’re always the one who feels the coldest when winter comes.”

“Whereas cognitive constraints on negative emotions can reduce distress, freeing positive emotions from such constraints can enhance religious experience.”

“Trying to explain feelings that are foreign to your heart, make communication daunting, even frightful. How does one express sensations that cower in the corners, fearful they will not be accepted by their inspiration?”

“Nothing will give you emotional laryngitis like living in close proximity to someone who refuses to listen. Having emotions but no voice chokes the life out of relationships.”

“Emotions are like waves rising on the ocean of the ind. Waves are part of the ocean, but not the ocean itself. Even an ocean whose surface is wracked by fierce wind and rain contains great calm in its depth. In the same way, a deep,bright seat of the mind lies beyond our stormy emotions.”

“Ready to feel again. Ready to trust again. Ready to love again. The heart gets knocked down but it does not stay down.”

“With you alongside,Magic is,less a dictionary word,And more a,part of life.”

“You wonder why you can’t see me,Sense me, feel me…?When you are outpouring your emotion,it is like me trying to climb up a waterfallTo get to you.But if you are calm and have faith in me,I can sail right over to youOn the still waters of your soul.”
