“Unrequited love made right is the ultimate, isn’t it?”

“But grief is the ultimate unrequited love. However hard and long we love someone who has died, they can never love us back. At least that is how it feels...”

“Unrequited love is all right in books and things, but in real life, it completely sucks”

“Besides, unrequited love is one of those things that all teen-agers have to go through, right?”

“Unrequited love is bad, but unrequitable love can really get you down.”

“Ultimately our problems will not be solved by the right man (or woman) in the White House. It simply doesn’t work that way. We live in a democracy, a representative form of government, where it’s as much if not more our responsibility to love and take care of our neighbors than our politician’s responsibility. Real and lasting change comes from knowing and loving the folks who live in the houses that sit next to ours rather than saving all of our longing and hope for the voting booth...Our ultimate hope is not in politicians or powers or governments, but in a day coming when all things will be made right. And our ultimate concern isn’t success but faithfulness. ”
