Debra quotes from Touched by an Angel

Debra

Welcome to Q-News. We've got more questions than answers but, hey, we try.

Shouldn't that be "Like my mother always says..."?

Debra

"As" is grammatically correct.

Nobody says that.

Debra

My mother does.

Debra

[Mother]'d say things like "You won't get the blue ribbon for running half the race" or "You're a waste of space if you're not in first place." But somehow she really had a way of inspiring me to be my best.

Monica

Your best or hers?

Monica

You may not realize it but the night you tried to take your own life, you actually succeeded.

Debra

I didn't die.

Monica

No, but the best part of you did. The part of you that's human, that's Debra. And all that remained was the part that couldn't let anything less than perfect survive....You have the right to be less than perfect.

Debra

I can't do it right all the time!

Monica

I know that. God knows that. How can He blame you for being human when He made you human?

Debra

God really loves me.

Monica

Yes, and there's not a thing you can do about it.
