Rumi

I am heartbroken, but I have been heartbroken before, and this might be the best for which I can hope.

Daniel Handler

An idealistic lover is a blind lover, and therefore a true lover; a pragmatic lover is a sighted lover, and therefore a false lover.

We will not let you choose between being a lover of God and his sovereignty and being a lover of lost people.
