“the heart is a dangerous organ that isn’t meant to be free. Why else would God have built a cage for it?”

“When you love someone,
it’s hard to unlove them.
They make mistakes,
they do things you hate,
things you don’t agree with,
things that drive you absolutely mad,
but when it comes down to it?
You still love them.
You can’t help it.
I suppose that’s why I never really grasped
the concept of Hell and the devil.
The idea that God, or Jesus
could turn his back on the ones he loves so much,
just doesn’t make sense to me.
Even if you murdered someone, Isa
I might be deeply disappointed,
but to stop loving you?
That’d be impossible.”

“If there is a divine creator, some ultimate moral authority, then why do bad things happen to good people? And why would this deity create people at all, since people are such imperfect beings?”
― R.F. Kuang, The Poppy War

“The heart is a different animal. A caged, lonely scavenger that feeds on its own wounds. Its scars never heal, because you can’t mend the very thing it needs to survive. So the wound continues to fester, until what’s left of the organ is eventually consumed by its own self-mutilation.”
― Keri Lake, Master of Salt & Bones
