“There’s order everywhere: the stars, the seasons, the currents of the ocean, the air that moves over the planet, down to the cells that make up everything. I don’t believe that’s by chance or a series of accidents. It takes intelligence to create all that, intelligence beyond anything human beings can understand. That’s part of why I believe in God.”
― Francine Rivers, The Masterpiece

“….this was the garden she had imagined. This was the closest she’d ever seen to the Wonderland inside her head. As she made her way slowly down the pathway, she took it all in. The reds, pinks, purples, yellows, every color she could have dreamed of. Her father had been right when he had told her this place was magical. She had gotten tons of pictures but she knew that she would never forget this place as long as she lived. It was the beauty that she had in her head except in the real world and it felt surreal.”
― S.T. Jones, The Wonderland in Alice

“It’s funny, but have you ever noticed that the more special something is, the more people seem to take it for granted? It’s like they think it won’t ever change. Just like this house here. All it ever needed was a little attention, and it would never have ended up like this in the first place.”
― Nicholas Sparks, The Wedding

“being loved deeply by someone gives you strength, and loving someone deeply gives you courage.”
