― Florence Welch, Useless Magic: Lyrics and Poetry

“Knowing without loving is frankly dangerous for the soul and for society. You'll critique most everything you encounter and even have the hubris to call this mode of reflexive cynicism "thinking" (whereas it's really your ego's narcissistic reaction to the moment). You'll position things to quickly as inferior or superior, "with me" or "against me," and most of the time you'll be wrong.”
― Richard Rohr, The Divine Dance: The Trinity and Your Transformation
