1 " Intimacy, now there’s a word with a wealth of underutilized dimensions . . . its greater worth may be found in this riddle: name the means by which one embraces tightest without touching and plunges deepest without spilling a drop of blood. "
― M. Funk , The Book of True Believer
2 " As a noun, the emotion of love ebbs and flows naturally. The sea changes of our feeling states are as sovereign as the tides. As a verb, love must be mindfully (vigilantly) cultivated. It takes effort to develop the will to love—to act with kindness, be respectful, forgive, and commit, even when it feels impossible. "

But I’m starting to realize that some people are endowed with the gift of exceptional sight—whether it be foresight, insight, vision, or experience. Some (like me) are privileged to behold the world’s wonder and beauty, while others are obliged to witness more than their fair share of ugliness. "
