“Forse col tempo diventeremo due estranei. Ma l’affresco sarà lì, lo vedranno tutti, e ci passeranno davanti migliaia, centinaia di migliaia di pellegrini, e leggeranno nelle guide "San Pietro libera la spiritata" di Giovan Francesco Romanelli, e cercheranno di ricordarsi dove hanno letto l’episodio – negli "Atti degli Apostoli"? Non è un vero miracolo, non è nemmeno una guarigione, è un’epifania del mistero della presenza, del bene che esercitiamo gli uni sugli altri, al di là delle parole e del contatto dei corpi, e tu mi hai fatto del bene, e io ho fatto del bene a te, e conosco solo un modo per dirlo, e nessuno saprà mai che questa immagine parla di noi, e quando tu e io non ci saremo più, essa ci sarà ancora, e allora anche noi saremo sempre giovani e innocenti, e la mia ombra ti toccherà , e farà fuggire i tuoi demoni e tu sarai libera.”

“Fear was Can't.
Fear was Won't.
But fear wasn't ever a choice.
To never fear was to never hope. Never love. never live. To never fear the dark was to never smile as the dawn kissed your face. To never fear solitude was to never know the joy of a beauty in your arms.
Part of having is the fear of losing.
Part of creating is the fear of it breaking.
Part of beginning is the fear of your ending.
Fear is never a choice.
Never a choice.
But letting it rule you is.”

“And while I am completely engulfed in my sadness, I am happy to sense that you exist, beautiful one. I am happy to have flung myself without fear into your beauty just as a bird flings itself into space. I am happy, dear, to have walked with steady faith on the waters of our uncertainty all the way to that island which is your heart and where pain blossoms.”
