His anguished cry stabs at my heart and tears spring to my eyes. I open my mouth to shout his own name back, to offer whatever small shred of comfort I can… but then the rock closes all the way and a fierce rumbling drowns out the echoes of Bran’s cry. I stare at the solid rock. My mouth closes. The light fades.

When I saw how Céline loved one of the nuns, I tried to imitate her, but I didn’t succeed, as I didn’t know how to get into people’s good graces. It was a fortunate ignorance which has saved me from much evil. I am profoundly grateful to Jesus who has never let me find anything but bitterness in earthly friendships. With a nature like mine, I should have been trapped and had my wings clipped and then how should I have “flown away and found rest”? It’s impossible for one bound by human affection to have intimate union with God. I’ve seen so many souls, dazzled by this deluding light, fly into it and burn their wings like silly moths. Then they turn again to the true unfading light of love and, with new and more splendid wings, fly to Jesus, that divine Fire which burns yet does not destroy. I know that Jesus considered me too weak to be exposed to temptation. If I had seen this false light shining before me, I should have been wholly destroyed. I’ve been saved from that. I have found nothing but bitterness where stronger souls have found happiness and yet remained properly detached. So it’s no merit on my part that I never became entangled by love of creatures; I was saved only by the great mercy of God.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "John Beevers" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/john-beevers/god-has-made-me-so-that-when-once-i-love-i-love-for-ever-and-so-i/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/8f4/john-beevers-27930_fading-light_god-has-made-me-so-that-when-once-i-love_518998.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/8f4/john-beevers-27930_fading-light_god-has-made-me-so-that-when-once-i-love_518998.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/8f4/john-beevers-27930_fading-light_god-has-made-me-so-that-when-once-i-love_518998.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“God has made me so that when once I love I love for ever, and so I continue to pray for this girl and I love…” — John Beevers", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 28, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“Nonetheless, after we've dropped off the birds and volunteered to go back to the woods to gather kindling for the evening fire, I find myself wrapped in his arms.

Or I'll never go back to him. I'll stay in 2 until it falls, go to the Capitol and kill Snow, and then die for my trouble. And he'll die insane and hating me. So in the fading light I shut my eyes and kiss Gale to make up for all the kisses I've withheld, and because it doesn't matter any more, and because I'm so desperately lonely I can't stand it.
