"Fool!" said my muse to me, "look in thy heart, and write.”

“Scattered wits take a long time picking up; and often before I had got them well together, they would be dispersed in all directions by one stray thought,”
― Charles Dickens, Great Expectations

“Pause you who read this, and think for a moment of the long chain of iron or gold, of thorns or flowers, that would never have bound you, but for the formation of the first link on one memorable day.”

“To be loved but not known is comforting but superficial. To be known and not loved is our greatest fear. But to be fully known and truly loved is, well, a lot like being loved by God.

― Timothy Keller, The Meaning of Marriage: Facing the Complexities of Commitment with the Wisdom of God
