The practice of love offers no place of safety. We risk loss, hurt, pain. We risk being acted upon by forces outside our control.

The good life doesn't knock on the door. Joy is a job.

The best practice is to be around people who absolutely disagree. Grace in conflict is a study in love.

I like living in my head because in there, everyone is kind and innocent. Once you start integrating yourself into the world, you realize that people are nasty, mean creatures. They're worse than zombies. People try to crush your soul and destroy your happiness, but zombies just want to have a little nibble of your brain.
