    C.S. Lewis

We are far too easily pleased.”

    Corrie ten Boom
    “Do you know what hurts so very much? It's love. Love is the strongest force in the world, and when it is blocked that means pain. There are two things we can do when this happens. We can kill that love so that it stops hurting. But then of course part of us dies, too. Or we can ask God to open up another route for that love to travel.”

As though He shook His head not in refusal but waiving the question. Like, 'Peace, child; you don't understand.”
