"If you look around to find meaning in everything that happens, you will end up disappointed. Sometimes there arenâ€™t reasons behind the terrible things that go on. I ask myself, If I knew all the answers, would it help? I lie awake and wonder why I donâ€™t have parents and wonder what will become of my brother and me.

“You might think that shifting your thoughts is as easy as setting your mind to it. But stressful thoughts aren't held in place through choice or will power. They're held in place through perceived truth value.”
“I know being with me is not easy. But I want you to understand no one has me, or has ever had me, except you.”

“Living there [Horse Mesa] was like living in a natural cathedral. Waking up every morning, you walked outside and looked down at the blue lake, then up at the sandstone cliffs--those awe-inspiring layers of red and yellow rock shaped over the millennia, with dozens of black-streaked crevices that temporarily became waterfalls after rainstorms.”
