"Pénélope, tu n'es pas ici par hasard. Tu veux vivre quelque chose, ton cœur brûle, ta tête t'assaille de réflexions, mais tu refuses d'aller plus loin, tu refuses de plonger. Tu restes spectatrice et tu rumines. C'est ça ton grand voyage ? Tu sais, chaque individu a un rôle à jouer. Chaque personne peut utiliser la force de son esprit pour devenir acteur de son existence et du monde qui l'entoure. Ensemble, à force de réflexions et d'actions, nous ferons de ces ruines un palais." Ceci est une odyssée. Un périple au cœur de nos doutes, de nos errances, de nos tempêtes.

"Tu veux l'intensité sans le risque. Tu veux la vie sans la mort. Tu veux le sublime sans la tempête. Tu veux l'amour sans le quotidien. Il y a cinq ans, tu as fui pour aller au-devant de toi-même, pour t'émanciper de tes carcans, et bonne nouvelle, tu as réussi. Mais maintenant, c'est à toi d'inventer une existence qui te convient. Entretenir la douleur est une autre manière de fuir. Il est temps de faire la paix avec tes fantômes et de trouver ton port."

Ceci est un réconfort. À tous ceux qui ce matin se réveillent épuisés. À tous ceux qui souffrent de l'absence des êtres aimés. À tous ceux qui cheminent dans les forêts lointaines de leurs tourments. À tous ceux qui se sentent trop, ou peut-être pas assez. À tous ceux qui voudraient que leur journée rayonne sous un autre ciel. À tous ceux dont les larmes glissent sur le rebord du cœur. À tous ceux dont la gorge se serre à l'évocation d'un lieu, d'un nom, d'une pensée. À tous ceux qui ferment une porte derrière eux. À tous ceux qui ne savent plus comment faire.

A purpose without direction is like a rock thrown into the ocean. Our existence would be meaningless if we evolved from nothing. The handiwork of our DNA was orchestrated by an Almighty God. God doesn't make mistakes. We are all created with purpose. Within our creation lies gifts and talents. These gifts can be used to bring glory to the Father, if we understand the nature of the gift.

Les Goolrick étaient des princes. Et tout le monde voulait leur ressembler. C'étaient les années 50, les femmes se faisaient des coiffures sophistiquées, elles portaient des robes de taffetas ou de soie, des gants et des chapeaux, et elles avaient de l'esprit.
