Quote by Jennifer Lane

“Him: “Have you ever been married before?” Me: “No.” Him: “Why?” Me: “I guess I’ve focused more on my work.” Him: “What do you do?” Me: (bracing myself) “I’m a psychologist.” Him: “Are you analyzing me now?” Me: (Yep, he went there. How cliché.) “Are you paying me now?”

“Rosamond’s discontent in her marriage was due to the conditions of marriage itself, to its demand for self-suppression and tolerance, and not to the nature of her husband; but the easy conception of an unreal Better had a sentimental charm which diverted her ennui. She constructed a little romance which was to vary the flatness of her life: Will Ladislaw was always to be a bachelor and live near her, always to be at her command, and have an understood though never fully expressed passion for her, which would be sending out lambent flames every now and then in interesting scenes.”

“When she first crossed the dry and dusty world which his mind inhabited she had been like a spring shower; in opening himself to it he had not been mistaken. He had gone wrong only in assuming that marriage, by itself, gave him either power or title to appropriate that freshness. As he now saw, one might as well have thought one could buy a sunset by buying the field from which one had seen it.”

“True strength lies not in indulging in temptation, but in resisting it. God's design for our lives is not about deprivation, but about freedom. By choosing purity and obedience, we experience the joy and peace that come from following Him. Don't let the world's values dictate your choices; instead, let God's Word guide you. You are loved, you are valued, and you are worthy of living a life that honors Him.”
