“Our eyes met and a never-before feeling entered our hearts. We gazed at each other longingly. We were indeed smitten by each other. Even before we realised, our lips locked. Ah, my first kiss. I had heard stories of how the first kiss is etched in one’s memory forever. This was absolute bliss. I felt a sense of belonging, a sense of togetherness. He took me by surprise with his proposal of love for me. Those magical words still linger in my heart. My dream of finding the right man had become a reality.”

“Our faces are so close to one another right now, and all I can do is selfishly think how easy it would be for me to lean forward and kiss him like I’ve dreamed about for the last couple of weeks. One kiss, and then I’d let him go.
One kiss, to replace the one stolen from me.
This would be my first kiss, not what happened with Poseidon. Because a kiss should be born from love, and want, and need. A kiss should be beautiful, something a girl can hold onto for the rest of her life, to pull out in her memory whenever she wants butterflies to come back. A kiss shouldn’t be roughly ripped away from her and turned into a thing of nightmares.”

“Our faces must be covered in sauce right now," said Isabella as she gnawed a second rib.
"Only one way to tell."
Isabella could sense Gabe getting out of his seat and leaning across the table to kiss her; only, in the process, he knocked down what sounded like two wineglasses and a small carafe of water. Still, he followed through, his lips landing near her left eye--- she burst out laughing--- before kissing their way down the path of sauce on her cheek to her lips, which opened up to help them finally connect with their target.
"All clean," said Gabe, after kissing her for a good twenty seconds and returning to his seat.
"You're better than a Wet-Nap," responded Isabella, who was blushing several shades of red and glad that nobody--- especially Gabe--- could see.”

“Our faces portray the emotions our colleagues and bosses expect. We gladly show those that earn points and brilliantly hide those that do not. Nothing is real about it; it's business and we're supposed to feel okay about it for at least 60 hours per week. If you're lucky, you get used to it. You become highly-skilled at it until you're an invincible corporate giant -- king of a mountain that means very little in the end.”

“Our failings sometimes bind us to one another as closely as could virtue itself.”
“Our failure as humans becomes illness and lethal when we cling to our differences.
Of tribes, races and class. Of religion, cultures and gender.
We forget who we are; blood, skin and bones, hearts, minds and souls. A sick world in need of healing”
“Our failure is not that we chose earth over heaven: it is that we fail to see the divine in the earth, already active and working, pouring forth grace and spilling glory into our lives. Artists, whether they are professed believers or not, tap into this grace and glory. There is a "terrible beauty" operating throughout creation. If Christ announced his postresurrection reality into the darkness, even into hell, as the Bible and Christian catechism suggests, then, as theologian Abraham Kuyper put it, there is not one inch of earth that Christ does not call "Mine!”

“Our failures are way less likely than our successes to be ignored by our enemies.”
“Our failures as a Christian have nothing to do with Satan but that we are just not faithful to maintain God’s point of view in all we do because no outside power can overcome God’s point of view unless we exercise our free will to follow another’s point of view even if it is our own!”

“Our failures can leave behind pavement or potholes. Our ability to receive grace determines which it will be.”
“Our failures slowly lose their power over us. As do our successes. We get out from under the tyranny of other people's opinions- their disapproval or approval of us. Free to just be us, the mixed bag we are. Nothing more than children with our Father. Adopted into love.
Free to be in process yet to arrive, and that's okay. In silence and solitude our souls finally come home.”

“Our faith in democracy, personal freedoms and human 'rights', and the other comforting prescriptions of the humanist liberal credo stem from the supremacy of maritime over territorial power. Pragmatists may deplore this as crude determinism, as another vain attempt to construct a general theory of history. They should reflect on the sort of political philosophy and structures we might now adhere to had the Habsburgs, Bourbons, Bonaparte, Hitler, Stalin or his heirs prevailed in the titanic world struggles of the past four centuries.”

“Our faith in freedom does not rest on the foreseeable results in particular circumstances, but on the belief that it will, on balance, release more forces for the good than for the bad ... Freedom granted only when it is known beforehand that its effects will be beneficial is not freedom.”
“Our faith in Mathematics is not likely to wane if we openly acknowledge that the personalities of even the greatest mathematicians may be as flawed as those of anyone else.”
