Richard Paul Evans Is Quotations

I believe that love is the choice we make to raise ourselves and others to the highest planes of existence.

So often the pain of our life is no more than a reminder to take our hand off the stove.

Love is never convenient-and rarely painless

Life is what happens to us while we're planning something else.

"You know, I've wondered if it's more painful to lose someone you love to death or to lose someone you love because she no longer loves you back." "I don't know," I said. "On the surface, it seems an easy question. It should be so much easier to lose someone who doesn't love you, because why would you want to be with someone who doesn't want you? But rejection's not an east road. A part of you always wonders what makes you so unlovable."

But more than brave, you have love. And love is brave.

Life is not a sprint. It was never meant to be. It is just a step of faith after another.

The depth of love is revealed in its departure.

Life is not yours to take.

That which we expect of life is indeed all that it ever can be.

I've come to know that what we want in life is the greatest indication of who we really are (p. 331).
