“True love survives all shocks: an affection originally produced by admiration for unusual beauty may not only survive the loss of that beauty, but may become more intense if the beauty has changed into ugliness through causes that bind the lovers together in tender associations.” IfsLoveMayTogetherCausesLossChangedLoversAffectionIntenseShockAdmirationUnusualAssociationUgliness Book:Moods of Life: Popular Psychological Studies of Affairs of Every Day Source: Moods of Life: Popular Psychological Studies of Affairs of Every Day

“What is it about possessing things? Why do we feel the need to own what we love, and why do we become jerks when we do? We've all been there- you want something, to possess it. By possessing something you lose it. You finally win the girl of your dreams, the first thing you do is change her. The little things she does with her hair, the way she wears her clothes or the way she chews her gum. Pretty soon what you like, what you changed, what you don't like, blends together like a watercolor in the rain.” WayWantLoveNeedsFeelsFirstsLittlesDoeDreamTogetherGirlWinningChangeLosesChangedHairClothesRainYour DreamsLittle ThingsWant SomethingJerkPossessingGumWatercolorsYou Changed Author:Jeff Melvoin
“As a teenager, I began to question the Great Christian Sorting System. My gay friends in high school were kind and funny and loved me, so I suspected that my church had placed them in the wrong category... Injustices in the world needed to be addressed and not ignored. Christians weren't good; people who fought for peace and justice were good. I had been lied to, and in my anger at being lied to about the containers, I left the church. But it turns out, I hadn't actually escaped the sorting system. I had just changed the labels.” PeopleWorldLoveKindAgeSchoolChristianTurnsLeftChurchJusticeChangedNeededGayHigh SchoolInjusticeLabelsTeenagerCategoriesGood PeopleIgnoredLiedPeace And JusticeContainersSortingBeing LiedGreat ChristianGay FriendInjustice In The World Author:Nadia Bolz-Weber
