Quote by Rob Bell

“past wounds,bitterness that's gone unchecked, things you haven't brought up because of shame or fear over how they'll react or insecurity because you just want them to think the best of you- you know there's an issue behind the issue when your reaction is way out of proportion to whatever it is you're fighting about”

“It’s forever with you, nothing less. We’ll undress the fears that never belonged to us. No need to throw them in the hamper— let’s burn the cloaks of ignored sores in the backyard. Let the wind carry the ashes of threaded terrors, never to be seen again. We’ll kill time with machetes, challenging who even made up that concept anyway. Gaze upon the past with gratitude, give our hard-earned lessons honorable curtsies, and gift the present the good stuff— you know, our attention.”

“The conch shells blew as the priest handed me the red powder, supposed to be used to mark my territories. Man and his primitive needs to mark what is his. A little bit of vermillion dropped on her nose, making her scrunch, the red on her hairline established a truth. Men, unlike women, had no symbols of a union. Women did not mark their territories. They made homes. (Scarlet: A Short Story)”

“It was a strange thing. I had been viewing the marriage question with such trepidation--- the ceremony, the spectacle, all that came after it, in the form of this strange and beautiful kingdom that would thence be half mine. And yet, as I sat there upon the lake amidst the tree-shadow and reflected light and the dragonflies tussling with the wind, I no longer knew why I had been so afraid. Likely it was also the threat of Queen Arna hanging over us like a guillotine--- well, the prospect of imminent death tends to put things into perspective. It was not that my worries vanished--- no magic could manage that. I only realized how much smaller they were than the world that lay before me. A world that I wanted, even after all I had seen, and amidst such a thicket of danger. I wanted it very much. And I especially wanted to share it with Wendell.”
