“I have not broken your heart - you have broken it; and in breaking it, you have broken mine.”
“Most birds were created to fly.Â Being grounded for them is a limitation within their ability to fly, not the other way around. You, on the other hand, were created to be loved. So for you to live as if you were unloved is a limitation, not the other way around. Living unloved is like clipping a birdâ€™s wings and removing its ability to fly.Â Not something I want for you. Pain has a way of clipping our wings and keeping us from being able to fly.Â And if left unresolved for very long, you can almost forget that you were ever created to fly in the first place.”

“Eyes are at rest, the stars are setting. Hushed are the stirrings of birds in their nests, Of monsters in the ocean. You are the Just who knows no change, The Balance that can never swerve, The Eternal which never passes away. The doors of Kings are bolted now and guarded by soldiers. Your Door is open to all who call upon You. Each love is now alone with his beloved. And I am alone with You.”
“When I feel the joy of receiving a gift my heart nudges me to join creation's ballet, the airy dance of giving and receiving, and getting and giving again.”
“When you told me you loved me," Lily's eyes widened when she looked at Lux, "You saved the world.”
