| 530f91c | O gouvernment francais, I think it was not very clever of You to put this terrible doll in La Ferte; for when Governments are found dead there is always a little doll on top of them, pulling and tweaking with his little hands to get back at the microscopic knife which sticks firmly in the quiet meat of their hearts. | E. E. Cummings | ||

| 21f0dca | Pribeag cum sunt, ma simt azi cel mai singuratic suflet, si strabatut de-avant alerg, dar nu stiu - unde. Un singur rand mi-e raza si putere: o, stelelor nici voi n-aveti in drumul vostru nici o tinta, dar poate tocmai de aceea cuceriti nemarginirea. | stelelor | Lucian Blaga | |
| d465e87 | It is always ourselves we find in the seas. | E.E. Cummings | ||
| b3f6877 | Without Christ, every woman has intense insecurities. Unless we find our identity in Him, we Christian women can be just as prone to insecurities about our appearance as unbelievers. To Christ, the most beautiful person on earth is the one making preparation to meet the Groom. | Beth Moore | ||
| 9dcb34e | Beloved, are you being sifted? Has God permitted the enemy to launch a full-scale attack against you? God knows what He's doing. He isn't looking the other way, and He's not being mean to you. Maybe this is the only way He can get you to attend to the old so He can do something new. Grab onto Him for dear life! Give Him full reign to remove anything in you that needs to go. Hasten the end of the process. Sift, dear one. Sift! | Beth Moore | ||
| 85bffce | God chose David. On the surface, the choice made no sense. But God doesn't work on sense; He works on grace. God called you, and God called me. He knew what He was doing. | Beth Moore | ||
| 004c40d | Make no excuses. Rationalize nothing. Blame no one. Humble yourself. | Beth Moore | ||
| e5e77a6 | When you are trying to discern whether God or Satan is the author of a hardship, one of your best clues is whether sin is involved. God never entices us to sin, nor does he employ sin or perversion as a means of molding us into the image of Christ. Impossible! | Beth Moore | ||
| 9a6aeaa | Why is it the greatest champions of the white race always turn out to be the worst examples of it? You! Where the fuck is your chin? | Garth Ennis | ||
| 285bbbe | Why do airline pilots always call passengers "folks"? I don't usually take umbrage at generic terminology--I'm one of those forward-thinkers who believes that "man" encompasses the whole darned race -- but at whatever 0'clock in the mornning. I thought it would be nice to be called sometihng that suggested unwashed masses a little less." | humor urban-shaman | C.E. Murphy | |
| 10b0773 | Nobody who loved life and new experiences that much was ever going to get old, not really. Wiser and eventually dead, maybe, but not old. | C.E. Murphy | ||
| 5b69866 | The intellectual is and only can be a militant, engaged as a singularity among others, embarked on the project of co-research aimed at making the multitude. The intellectual is thus not 'out in front' to determine the movements of history or 'on the sidelines' to critique them but rather completely 'inside. | commonwealth michael-hardt | Michael Hardt | |
| c4d9d38 | I don't want to hear another word about my attitude. i don't want anyone looking over my shoulder, and I sure as hell don't want anyone second-guessing what I do. (Mitch Rapp) | Vince Flynn | ||
| 69c39af | Whoever reflects on four things I would be better if he were never born: that which is above, that which is below, that which is before, that which is after. | Umberto Eco | ||
| aea9031 | I knew the earth was rotating, and I with it, and Saint-Martin-des-Champs and all Paris with me, and that together we were rotating beneath the Pendulum, whose own plane never changed direction, because up there, along the infinite extrapolation of its wire beyond the choir ceiling, up toward the most distant galaxies, lay the Only Fixed Point in the universe, eternally unmoving. | Umberto Eco | ||
| 24c91b4 | For two years I have refused to answer idle questions on the order of "Is your novel an open work or not?" How should I know? That is your business, not mine. Or "With which of your characters do you identify?" For God's sake, with whom does an author identify? With the adverbs, obviously." | Umberto Eco | ||
| 648c0ae | Jacopo Belbo didn't understand that he had had his moment and that it would have to be enough for him, for all his life. Not recognizing it, he spent the rest of his days seeking something else, until he damned himself. | Umberto Eco | ||
| 7725e10 | The cultivated person's first duty is to be always prepared to rewrite the encyclopedia. | Umberto Eco | ||
| 49b6cff | There was no plot... and I discovered it by mistake. | Umberto Eco | ||
| 516a1a3 | What you believe matters, however. It's all anyone has to act on. And since what you do is who you are, your actions define you. If you don't believe anything is true simply because you can't logically prove what's true, you won't do anything. You won't be anything. You'll end up spending your life in a rocking chair looking out at the horizon waiting for an answer that never comes. You might as well be dead. It's an old philosophical probl.. | beliefs doing | Russell Banks | |
| 5efb61b | All those happy, pretty, successful people- he hated them because he knew they didn't really exist, and he hated even more the magazine that glorified them and in a way that made them exist, actors, rock musicians, famous writers, politicians. Those aren't he fumed, they're | continental-drift social-commentary | Russell Banks | |
| 2e405cd | But there was, she knew, something else. Happiness, she supposed. Whatever that might be. What, exactly, she wondered, was happiness. Very positively she wanted it. | nella-larsen quicksand | Nella Larsen | |
| 098dae2 | Intelligence fails because it is human, no stronger than the power of one mind to understand another. (480) | Tim Weiner | ||
| a337e29 | I don't believe in psychology, which says everything you do is because of yourself. That is so untrue. We are social animals, and everything we do is because of other people, because we love them, or because we don't. | Miranda July | ||
| 5fcb601 | LA isn't a walking city, or a subway city, so if someone isn't in my house or my car we'll never be together, not even for a moment. And just to be absolutely sure of that, when I leave my car my iPhone escorts me, letting everyone else in the post office know that I'm not really with them, I'm with my own people, who are so hilarious that I can't help smiling to myself as I text them back. | Miranda July | ||
| ef28e2e | I love you, too,' he whispered, one corner of his mouth lifting into a smile. I grinned back, then kissed him until I felt light-headed and breathless. | Alyxandra Harvey | ||
| 92912bc | She had discovered that her love of knowing was not unnatural or sinful but the direct consequence of a God-given ability to reason. | Donna Woolfolk Cross | ||
| 47c5ec3 | Who was to know what went on in a person's heart? A wise woman kept her own counsel. | Donna Woolfolk Cross | ||
| 43226b1 | This was the price for the the strange life she had chosen, but she had gone into it with eyes open, and there was no profit in regret. | living-without-regrets nonconformity pope-joan | Donna Woolfolk Cross | |
| 2222dbd | As the years passed, new myths arose to explain the mysterious objects the strangers brought from the land of the dead. A nineteenth-century missionary recorded, for example, an African explanation of what happened when captains descended into the holds of their ships to fetch trading goods like cloth. The Africans believed that these goods came not from the ship itself but from a hole that led into the ocean. Sea sprites weave this cloth i.. | Adam Hochschild | ||

| b443c4f | Proust, "The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes." | Esther Perel | ||
| e30f0ba | And what is true for human beings is true for every living thing: all organisms require alternating periods of growth and equilibrium. Any person or system exposed to ceaseless novelty and change risks falling into chaos; but one that is too rigid or static ceases to grow and eventually dies. This never-ending dance between change and stability is like the anchor and the waves. Adult relationships mirror these dynamics all too well. We seek.. | Esther Perel | ||
| bd604d2 | He could still remember how breathtakingly beautiful Eleanor was that day. He'd have been content to gaze into her eyes for hours, trying to decide if they were green with gold flecks or gold with green flecks. She had high, finely sculpted cheekbones, soft, flawless skin he'd burned to touch, and lustrous dark braids entwined with gold-threaded ribbons he yearned to unfasten; he'd have bartered his chances of salvation to bury his face in .. | Sharon Kay Penman | ||
| ab24e78 | Directly overhead the Milky Way was as distinct as a highway across the sky. The constellations shown brilliantly, except the north, where they were blurred by the white sheets of the Aurora. Now shimmering like translucent curtains drawn over the windows of heaven, the northern lights suddenly streaked across a million miles of space to burst in silent explosions. Fountains of light, pale greens, reds, and yellows, showered the stars and g.. | nature sacred | Philip Caputo | |
| f447c18 | sudden I stopped. I was out of breath. I asked myself, "What is this all about? What is the meaning of this ceaseless rush? This is ridiculous!" Then I declared independence, and said, "I do not care if I go to dinner. I do not care whether I make a talk. I do not have to go to this dinner and I do not have to make a speech." So deliberately and slowly I walked back to my room and took my time about unlocking the door. I telephoned the man .. | Norman Vincent Peale | ||
| eb3fee8 | People take their same old lives wherever they go. No place is perfect enough to strip you of that. | Julia Glass | ||
| d1f2b45 | If a man goes up into Parnassus after sunset, why should he not see strange things? The gods still walk there, and a man who would not go carefully in the country of the gods is a fool. | Mary Stewart | ||
| 9fa843c | it matters less how much more you make than what you do with what you already have. | Thomas J. Stanley |
