1 " This room in the heart is a necessary protection and must be guarded like no other. It must be kept hidden from everyone, for without it we have no refuge from grief over love lost, or the terrible ache of unrequited love. It is a room built into every heart by God. "
― Bobby Underwood , Love at the Library (Christmas Short, #1)
2 " As each new generation becomes more distanced from human interaction by its all-consuming obsession with superfluous technology, our collective passion wanes a little more, making the cracks in each persons’ bridge wider, until it is easy to fall through the fractures and disappear forever. "
3 " It humbled me to be living out of my car by design, but the thought of living in a cardboard shelter in some alley, or sleeping on a park bench at night frightened me. We never realize how little separates each of us from the gutter until we’re up against it ourselves. "
4 " The colder and more crass the world has become, the more it scoffs at love at first sight. Popular television shows which would have made your grandmother puke, blockbuster movies so banal, vulgar, unfunny and shallow that only the brain-dead could find enjoyment in them, and best-selling fiction featuring either graphic descriptions of brutal, stomach-churning violence, or sexual depravity that drew no lines, had become completely acceptable, even the norm in our desensitized society. "
5 " Romantic love, a soulmate, was a concept too old-fashioned for the modern world. It was a concept beyond the capacity of hearts hardened so thoroughly that armor-piercing bullets could no longer penetrate them. "
