Bethany’s Quotes

“Birds are meant to be wild, Josephine. How would you like to be caged up all day? … it’s just cruel. There are enough bars already in this life.”
― Lauren Chater, The Winter Dress

“To be loved but not known is comforting but superficial. To be known and not loved is our greatest fear. But to be fully known and truly loved is, well, a lot like being loved by God. It is what we need more than anything. It liberates us from pretense, humbles us out of our self-righteousness, and fortifies us for any difficulty life can throw at us.”
― Timothy Keller, The Meaning of Marriage: Facing the Complexities of Commitment with the Wisdom of God
