Richard Paul Evans

It's the great, deep secret of humanity that in the end none of our lives look the way we thought they would. As much as we wish to believe otherwise, most of life is a reaction to circumstances.
Richard Paul Evans
such fickle days of love when pain and ecstasy share the same hour
Richard Paul Evans
Wait and see is no easier now than it was as a child.
Richard Paul Evans
The sweetness of reunion is the joy of heaven.
Richard Paul Evans
We are chained to that which we do not forgive
Richard Paul Evans
The shackles of belief, when reinforced by fear, are difficult to break free from and rarely done.
Richard Paul Evans
Old friends are memories personified.
