• You are not saintly (a good person) because an organization says so, but rather because you stay connected to the divinity of your origination.

You are not moral because you obey the laws; you are mortality itself because you are the same as what you came from.

• A movie is better than real life because in the movies only the bad guys die. Or you can pick the good movies where the bad guys die and only those.

She didn't deserve it, which was to say she deserved better
