“You're funny, and you're smart, and you may show up late, but you always show up eventually.”
― John Green, Paper Towns

“Sometimes a thing doesn’t seem real until we say it out loud.”
― David Arnold, Mosquitoland

“submission is not an occasional event. It is a lifestyle. It isn’t a negative obligation on women, but the natural outworking of the gospel in every Christian’s life. Submission is an attribute of Jesus, so it ought to show up in all of his followers.”
― Carolyn Custis James, The Gospel of Ruth: Loving God Enough to Break the Rules

“never talk about submission without talking about Jesus, and in particular of the cross. Jesus’ version of submission is thoughtful, strong, purposeful, and sacrificial. It involves the full and determined embrace of his Father’s will (which governs everything Jesus does)3 and the voluntary pouring out of his life to rescue a lost world.4 Submission is both. It is redemptive. It is the gospel. It is a way of showing Jesus to the world.”
