“When you love another deeply, you gain strength. When you receive anothers deep love, you gain courage”

“I'm a 'shadow seeker' with a 'tude'!."~Marina DeAngelo [2012]”

“When the things you love exist only inside your memory they cannot be destroyed or taken from you.”

“When you love, dear girl, you give another the power to hurt you. If you love deeply enough, you give another the power to destroy you.”

“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.”

“When you put together deep knowledge about a subject that intensely matters to you, charisma happens. You gain courage to share your passion, and when you do that, folks follow.”

“Fear is always with us: that we are not good enough or strong enough, and so will fail; that we will be hurt. Fear that what we love will be taken from us. Fear of dying, even fear of God, or of no God. But God surprises us by giving us strength to bear what we must; by giving us joy when we think that nothing but sadness is possible.”
