“The more you make a relationship about what you’re getting, the weaker the relationship is. An intimate relationship is not a place you go to get things; if you do that, you’re always going to be disappointed. It’s a place you go to give.

“Evil people often don’t realize that they’re evil. They don’t recognize what “evil” means. They justify selfish actions as reasonable, and don’t notice or care that they hurt others unnecessarily. A degree of darkness exists in every life, every mind, every heart. Our job is to love, accept, forgive, support, celebrate, delight, and shine so brilliantly that others learn to distinguish the darkness from light.” – Shaun Roundy

“Your two core fears are: 1. The fear of failure (the fear you won’t be good enough) and 2. The fear of loss (the fear your life won’t be good enough).

The fear of loss is a fear that you won’t have what you need, want or deserve, so you feel mistreated, cheated, robbed, short-changed or taken from at some level.”- Kim Giles

“We fight our most brutal battles entirely within the deepest confines of our own minds, in a place where nobody else, however compassionate or well-meaning, can come close to reaching. Friends can cheer you on, people who love you can show their concern and affection constantly…in the end, it doesn’t matter, you’re still alone. If you can’t save yourself, it can’t be saved. I wish I’d realized this sooner, it would’ve saved me years of grief.” – Kirt Manwaring

“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.” – C.S. Lewis

“Everyone thinks forgiveness is a lovely idea until he has something to forgive.” – C.S. Lewis
