Because he doesn't know how to love...
Claudia: I don't understand. He meets a girl that can give him a new life and he pushes her away? Guido: Because he no longer believes in it. Claudia: Because he doesn't know how to love. Guido: Because it isn't true that a woman can change a man. Claudia: Because he doesn't know how to love. Guido: And above all because I don't feel like telling another pile of lies. Claudia: Because he doesn't know how to love. -

Notes"Talk to me about the truth of religion and I’ll listen gladly. Talk to me about the duty of religon and I listen submissively. But don’t come talking me about the consolations of religion or I shall suspect that you don’t understand."C.S. Lewis // A Grief Observed

Notes"The desperate need to be loved can keep one from love itself. True intimacy is only possible where emptiness is accepted as gift, where people don’t use one another to try to fill (and to fix) each other’s hollowness. Yet neither do they leave. Intimacy is participation in each other’s unalterable emptiness, the sharing of a vulnerability that grows even deeper in being shared. If the desert has taught me anything, it’s that love can only blossom in abandonment."Belden C. Lane // The Solace of Fierce Landscapes

Notes"It is, to describe it figuratively, as if a writer were to make a slip of the pen, and the error became conscious of itself as such—perhaps it wasn’t a mistake but from a much higher point of view an essential ingredient in the whole presentation—and as if this error wanted now to rebel against the author, out of hatred for him forbid him to correct it, and in manic defiance say to him: ‘No, I will not be erased, I will stand as a witness against you, a witness to the fact that you are a second-rate author.’"Soren Kierkegaard // The Sickness Unto Death // Kierkegaard’s description of the self’s rejection of the self.

Notes"There comes a moment when the children who have been playing burglars hush suddenly: was that a real footstep in the hall? There comes a moment when people who have been dabbling in religion… suddenly draw back. Supposing we really found Him? We never meant it to come to that! Worse still, supposing He had found us?"C.S. Lewis // Miracles
