Here are some quotes I’ve been collecting for…months, I guess.

“There is nothing so inspiring to a man as a beautiful woman. She’ll make you want to charge the castle, slay the giant, leap across parapets.”
–John Eldridge, Wild At Heart

“The battle itself is never enough; a man yearns for romance. It’s not enough to be a hero; it’s that he is a hero to someone in particular, to the woman he loves.”
–John Eldridge, Wild At Heart

“Men are like trucks – without a load, they’re squirrelly, but if you put a load on them, they’ll go straight.”
–Paraphrased from Mark Driscoll

“Clarity of mind means clarity of passion, too; this is why a great and clear mind loves ardently and sees distinctly what it loves.”
–Blaise Pascal

“I have discovered that all human evil comes from this, man’s being unable to sit still in a room.”
–Blaise Pascal

“There is nothing that we can see on earth which does not either show the wretchedness of man or the mercy of God. One either sees the powerlessness of man without God, or the strength of man with God.”
–Blaise Pascal

“Try to give your agenda to God. Keep saying, ‘Your will be done, not mine.’ Give every part of your heart and your time to God and let God tell you what to do, where to go, when and how to respond. God does not want you to destroy yourself. Exhaustion, burnout, and depression are not signs that you are doing God’s will.”
– Henry Nouwen, The Inner Voice of Love

“It seems easier to be God than to love God, easier to control people than to love people, easier to own life than to love life.”
–Henri J. Nouwen
