“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

“You never change your life until you step out of your comfort zone; change begins at the end of your comfort zone.”

“Although my memory's fading, I remember two things very clearly: I am a great sinner and Christ is a great Savior.”

“...the imagination is unleashed by constraints. You break out of the box by stepping into shackles.”
