“How does our self-sufficiency ruin safety? Primarily by preventing us from experiencing our impoverishment. People who “have it together” are not hungry, or thirsty, for others. They do not feel a lack within when they’re alone or in distress. They do not connect with other people, because they do not experience any need for it.”
― Henry Cloud, Safe People: How to Find Relationships That Are Good for You and Avoid Those That Aren't

“Authority is not bad; abuse of authority is bad. God”
― Matt Chandler, The Mingling of Souls: God's Design for Love, Marriage, Sex, and Redemption
