“I trust you. But I'm also going with you."

"Of course you are. Because, my Cyn, if the shit hits the fan--"

"When the shit hits the fan."

"--I trust you to be there to turn the damn fan off.”

“I fell in love. It felt exactly like a fall, a head-over-heels tumble into a state of unbearable lightness. The earth tilted on its axis. I did not believe in romantic love at the time, thinking it a human construct, an invention of fourteenth century Italian poets. I was as unprepared for love as I had been for goodness and beauty. Suddenly, my heart seemed swollen, too large for my chest.”
― Philip Yancey, What's So Amazing About Grace?
