“A person don't got a soul until that person is loved.
If a mother loves her baby--wants her baby--it's got a soul from the moment she knows it's there.
The moment you're loved, that's when you got your soul.”

“You may be responsible for your actions,” Pastor Dan says, "but it's not your fault you weren't emotionally prepared for life out there in the real world.

“You...you lost your faith?"
"No...just my convictions. I still very much believe in God- just not a god who condones human tithing."
Lev begins to feel himself choking up with an unexpected flood of feeling, all the emotions that had been building up throughout their talk- throughout the weeks- arriving all at once like a sonic boom.
"I never knew there was a choice.”
