That would mean that security is out of the question. The words "make" and "stay" become inappropriate. My love for you has no strings attached. I love you for free.”
― Tom Robbins, Still Life with Woodpecker

“A sense of humor...is superior to any religion so far devised.”

“Knock, And He'll open the door
Vanish, And He'll make you shine like the sun
