“A world where it is safe to love is a world where it is safe to live”

“She had built a safe world where love didn't matter—and now she had nothing but stuff.”

“It was easy to forget that other people lived in a world where rules and laws and common sense could keep you safe. A world where, if you did the right thing you were allowed to get on with your life in whichever way you chose.”

“This world is nothing but a trap. The only place where a man is safe and gets comfort is the secluded place of God.”

“To love is to suffer in a fallen world. There are no safe investments, there are no safe relationships. In this world there are no investments of love that come with a guarantee that you will not be hurt and disappointed.”

“She had made her choice, and this was it, where she felt safe, in a world she could, for the most part, control. Page 328”
