All human nature vigorously resists grace because grace changes us and the change is painful.
— Flannery O’Connor (via dancewmoonlight)
Some women let you kiss them while some kissed you back— but just. Others kissed with enthusiasm, but it was with the same kind of enthusiasm they felt for a good meal, a Bette Davis film, or a lovely present they’d just been given. But she was different. She was hungry for you, hungry to kiss you, to hear what you had to say; hungry to tell you what was on her mind. To his mind, this overall hunger was what defined her. It was the greatest compliment he had ever received from a woman and he never grew tired of it.
— Jonathan Carroll (via rainydaysandblankets)
