- "A man does not show his greatness by being at one extremity, but rather by touching both at once."
- Albert Camus

"But I know now what lay at the root of my actions was fear, whether it was the fear of disease and death, the fear of losing our livelihood, or simply the fear of losing love. My life with Brad was a battleground, but not between two people, but between those two opposing emotions, fear and love. Brad was my partner, not my opponent, for he also knew great fear, perhaps even greater than my own. He was my confidant, my strength, my mate, as we faced our fears together. Reflecting the Camus quote that Brad loved and that begins this book, ours was a life filled with extremes, but it also had moments of greatness.
I miss Brad. There isn't a day that goes by that my thoughts don't turn to him for comfort, for guidance, and for humor. I know Alexandra feels his absence even more acutely. Her father was a difficult man, but as he wrote to her in that final letter, he was, he hoped, also a good man. If there is any meaning to this book, it is that---that as troubled as he was, Brad Davis was a good man, that he was capable of great love, and that he was loved greatly in return."

1 John 2:18
"Children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many Antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour."
The query: "What scene in a movie, no matter how many times you watch it, do you absolutely love?"
Sharon:
"In 'The Passion of the Christ,' the scene when Jesus stumbles carrying the cross on the road and Mary runs to Him and has flashbacks of Him falling as a child and her running to Him. And when she reaches Him he looks up at her and says: 'Behold I make all things new.' That scene will never leave me. I cry just thinking about it."

Melissa:
"When I saw this scene, I was in a Spanish speaking audience, watching the film in German, subtitled in English. I will NEVER forget it. To identify with the mother heart of Mary, I have no words."
"Hear, my son, and accept my sayings.
And the years of your life will be many.
I have directed you in the way of wisdom:
I have led you in upright paths."
