“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. It is what we need more than anything. It liberates us from pretense, humbles us out of our self-righteousness, and fortifies us for any difficulty life can throw at us.”
― Timothy Keller, The Meaning of Marriage: Facing the Complexities of Commitment with the Wisdom of God

“You become most powerful in whatever you do if the action is performed for its own sake rather than as a means to protect, enhance, or conform to your role identity.”
― Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose

“Authentic human interactions become impossible when you lose yourself in a role.”
― Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose
