“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves

“Faith is the opposite of fear. Faith doesn’t deny the reality or presence of fear; rather, faith is the power to overcome fear.”
― Rasmus Rudy, Love. Period.: Loving Those Who Are Not Like You

“True love is intended to be manifested upward to God and outward to others, without hesitation and with huge amounts of generosity.”
― Rasmus Rudy, Love. Period.: Loving Those Who Are Not Like You

“These six hundred bodies, in unmarked graves, lie in silent witness to a failed law-enforcement solution to a human problem, and to the low value the United States places on lives of vulnerable, poor people who are considered the "other.”
