~ Morpheus, The Matrix

“…we cannot hear the real answer until we see we’ve got a false one. So long as we chase the illusion, how can we face reality? The hunger is there; it lives in our souls like a famished craving, no matter what we’ve tried to fill it with. If you take your question to Eve, it will break your heart….There is only one source for the answer to your question. And so no matter where you’ve taken your question, you’ve got to take it back. You have to walk away. That is the beginning of your journey.”
~ John Eldredge, Wild At Heart
"She'll look at you and smile
And her eyes will say
She's got a secret garden
Where everything you want
Where everything you need
Will always stay
A million miles away..."
~ Bruce Springsteen, Secret Garden
“It’s a deep lie wedded to a deep truth. Eve is a garden of delight (Song 4:16). But she’s not everything you want, everything you need – not even close. Of course it will stay a million miles away. You can’t get there from here because it’s not there. It’s not there. The answer to your question can never, ever be found there.”
~ John Eldredge, Wild At Heart
