“Of course, I quite agree that the Christian religion is, in the long run, a thing of unspeakable comfort. But it does not begin in comfort; it begins in the dismay I have been describing, and it is no use at all trying to go on to that comfort without first going through that dismay. In religion, as in war and everything else, comfort is one thing you cannot get looking for it. If you look for the truth, you may find comfort in the end: if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth-only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin with and (the) in the end, despair.”

“No relationship is perfect, ever. There are always some ways you have to bend, to compromise, to give something up in order to gain something greater...The love we have for each other is bigger than these small differences. And that's the key. It's like a big pie chart, and the love in a relationship has to be the biggest piece. Love can make up for a lot.”
― Sarah Dessen, This Lullaby

“Tuhanku Yang Maha Melapangkan,

...Ingin rasanya aku menyerah,
melepaskan ini semua dan
membiarkan diriku hilang
dalam ketidak-pedulian.

Tapi aku tak mungkin ikhlas
membiarkan jiwa baikku ini rusak.

Sebetulnya aku hanya letih
dan sedikit merasa tak disayangi

Tapi aku tahu,
Engkau mencintaiku.

Tuhan,
lapangkahlah dadaku,
teduhkanlah wajahku,
dan tinggikanlah derajatku

Aamiin”
― Mario Teguh
