“As pessoas gostam de dizer que o amor é incondicional, mas isso não é verdade. E mesmo que fosse incondicional, o amor nunca é de graça. Sempre vem acompanhado de uma expectativa. Todo mundo sempre quer algo em troca. Tipo, querem que você seja feliz, ou o que for, e isso nos torna automaticamente responsáveis pela felicidade dos outros, porque eles não serão felizes a menos que você também seja. Você tem que ser quem eles pensam que tem que ser e se sentir do jeito que eles pensam que tem que se sentir, porque eles amam você. E quando você não consegue dar o que eles querem, eles ficam infelizes, e aí você também fica infeliz e todo mundo fica infeliz. Eu só não quero ter essa responsabilidade“.”

“What I want from the church, or any faith community, I see now, is a look between human beings that says we are knitted together, standing in a circle, holding each other up, waiting for the next ax to fall, rather than persons following a crowned Jesus, believing in an oppressive creed and tinny, false hope. That "religion" is about wanting the thing to last forever and make the pain go away. The reality is, instead, more about Jesus kneeling in the dust making a paste of spit and dirt. The reality is much more raw.”
