Joni Eareckson Tada
“We rant and rave against God for the evil we have to endure but hardly blink at the evil in our own hearts.”
Joni Eareckson Tada, The God I Love: A Lifetime of Walking with Jesus

Bruce D. Perry
“The most destabilizing thing for anyone is to have their core beliefs challenged. As psychologist Virginia Satir puts it, we feel better with the certainty of misery than the misery of uncertainty. Good or bad, we are attracted to things that are familiar.”
Bruce D. Perry, What Happened to You?: Conversations on Trauma, Resilience, and Healing

G.K. Chesterton
“For men are homesick in their homes,
And strangers under the sun,
And they lay their heads in a foreign land
Whenever the day is done.

To an open house in the evening
Home shall men come,
To an older place than Eden
And a taller town than Rome.
To the end of the way of the wandering star,
To the things that cannot be and that are,
To the place where God was homeless
And all men are at home.

From: The House of Christmas, as anthologized in Burton Egbert Stevenson, ed., The Home Book of Verse, Volume 1 (New York: Henry Holt And Company, 1912); Project Gutenberg Etext #2619.”
G. K. Chesterton.

Bruce D. Perry
“What I’ve learned from talking to so many victims of traumatic events, abuse, or neglect is that after absorbing these painful experiences, the child begins to ache. A deep longing to feel needed, validated, and valued begins to take hold. As these children grow, they lack the ability to set a standard for what they deserve. And if that lack is not addressed, what often follows is a complicated, frustrating pattern of self-sabotage, violence, promiscuity, or addiction.”
Bruce D. Perry, What Happened to You?: Conversations on Trauma, Resilience, and Healing

Elaine Scarry
“to have great pain is to have certainty; to hear that another person has pain is to have doubt.”
Elaine Scarry, The Body in Pain: The Making and Unmaking of the World
