"Human child," said the Lion, "Where is the boy?"
"He fell over the cliff," said Jill, and added, "Sir." She didn't know what else to call him, and it sounded cheek to call him nothing.
"How did he come to do that, Human Child?"
"He was trying to stop me from falling, Sir."
"Why were you so near the edge, Human Child?"
"I was showing off, Sir."
"That is a very good answer, Human Child. Do so no more."

an excerpt from "Let Me Love You"

"It's much easier for most of us to give love than to receive it. ..When we give love we are in control. We can pick the person to love, we can decide how to love, how much to love, and when to love. But when we receive love, we are no longer in control. We have to let the other person decide to love or not, or how much to love...there is a certain superiority when we love others, and a certain helplessness when others love us. We can choose those we want to love, but we cannot always choose those who love us."

- an excerpt from Fr. Galdon's "Let Me Love You", from the Mustard Seed
