Boyd K. PackerSo let me tell you this, when it comes to...trying to introduce other people to Jesus. Don't get mad at them: it's not because they're stupid. It's because they're blind.

I am going to trust in Jesus.

Edward GibbonI don't believe there's a reason for everything, and having faith doesn't mean I'm blind. I believe people make poor choices. I believe bad things happen to good people. I believe there's evil in the word that I will never understand, but will never stop fighting.

Pierre Teilhard de ChardinI try and find and access the parts of myself that still blindly believe and have faith in a lot of things. I don't mean to be cynical, but I've also discovered that I still have a lot of those. And they may not be where I expected them to be. Maybe I've been in relationships, and this is a movie about relationships, like romance relationships - so maybe I've been in some that have sort of made me lose my faith. But deep down inside, I still have blind faith.
Jake GyllenhaalWhen we canโt marry the person we had in mind, our inability to look beyond may even blind sight us from someone who is in fact better for us. When we donโt get hired, or we lose something dear to us, itโs hard to take a step back and notice the bigger picture. Often Allah takes things away from us, only to replace them with something greater.
