"This disease: Takes the brains out of our head, the love from our heart, the spirit from our soul, prevents us from feeling good feelings, keeps us feeling bad feelings, and then tells us to take our own lives."
- Jack the Marine
"The central fact of our lives today is the absolute certainty that our Creator has entered into our hearts and lives in a way which is indeed miraculous. He has commenced to accomplish those things for us which we could never do by ourselves."
