“We make our own destiny.”

“I was frightened of myself, I seemed to have no control over my thoughts and feelings, it was like a sort of madness...”

“The moment had gone. I carried my secrets still with me, and they were hard, heavy, bitter things.”

“We are not punished for our sins, we are punished by them. We can't live with guilt for the whole of our lives..”

“I felt dead and sick inside.”

“Your world may think what it chooses...but really, opinion and gossip count for nothing at all against truth...”

“once sailed neither the ship nor the shore ever remains the same again.”

“We are not trapped or locked up in these bones. No, no. We are free to change. And love changes us. And if we can love one another, we can break open the sky.”

“One day spent with someone you love can change everything.”
