“She cries at poems when the slant rhymes surprise you. She cries at old movies where people are in love but can’t acknowledge it for self-abnegatingly heroic reasons, like being married or having to lead the French Resistance, and she cries at the lonely light of early mornings. She cries when she pieces together etymologies of words, and she cries when people sing the exact right harmony and their voices lattice so that she hears only one perfect, unearthly sound.”

What's cool about God is that you can be a weird little freak and He will love you no matter what. Like you can be such a strange human being that others tend to avoid, but to Him you're His most precious treasure.
