| 1655425 | Holiness is the union we experience with one another and with God. Holiness is when more than one become one, when what is fractured is made whole. Singing in harmony. Breastfeeding a baby. Collective bargaining. Dancing. Admitting our pain to someone, and hearing them say, "Me too." Holiness happens when we are integrated as physical, spiritual, sexual, emotional, and political beings. Holiness is the song that has always been sung, perhap.. | holiness integrated | Nadia Bolz-Weber | |
| 97d37bb | Ignorance isn't bliss, but neither is knowledge. Sometimes you just know more, but it doesn't make you any happier. | Laurell K. Hamilton | ||
| bd4b463 | Amar e a eterna inocencia, E a unica inocencia nao pensar... | Fernando Pessoa | ||
| 9918c77 | Todo o mal do mundo vem de nos importarmos uns com os outros, Quer para fazer bem, quer para fazer mal. | Fernando Pessoa | ||
| 62bc4c6 | Everything that surrounds us becomes part of us, it seeps into us with every experience of the flesh and of life and, like the web of a great Spider, binds us subtly to what is near, ensnares us in a fragile cradle of slow death, where we lie rocking in the wind. | Fernando Pessoa | ||
| 34dea33 | Tudo o mais e uma grande macada para quem esta presente por acaso. E a sociedade em que nascemos e o lugar onde mais por acaso estamos presentes. | Fernando Pessoa | ||
| eecb15f | Isto esta tudo decadente: ja nem decadentes ha. | Fernando Pessoa | ||
| 44b6931 | En mi corazon hay una paz de angustia, y mi sosiego esta hecho de resignacion. | Fernando Pessoa | ||

| a67c220 | Poses kai poses maskes Pano apo to prosopo tes psukhes phorame... Otan gi' asteio e psukhe te maska thelesei na bgalei Arage xerei oti etsi aphenei To prosopo gumno na phanei; E maska e pragmatike, den niothei tipota kato ap' te maska Alla koitazei mes ap' aute me matia krummena. | Fernando Pessoa | ||
| 1186437 | Sinto uma alegria enorme Ao pensar que a minha morte nao tem importancia nenhuma. | fernando-pessoa | Alberto Caeiro | |
| 7046fd4 | To organize our life in such a way that it becomes a mystery to others, that those who are closest to us will only be closer to not knowing us. That is how I've shaped my life, almost without thinking about it, but I did it with so much instinctive art that even to myself I've become a not entirely clear and definite individual. | Fernando Pessoa | ||
| c1cd0aa | To possess something is to lose it. To feel something without possessing it is to keep it, because in that way one extracts its essence. | Fernando Pessoa | ||
| 21d98fe | I'm certain, but my certainty is a lie. To be certain is to not be seeing. The day after tomorrow doesn't exist. This is what exists: A blue sky that's a bit hazy and some white clouds on the horizon, With a dark smudge underneath, as if they might turn black. This is what today is, And since for the time being today is everything, this is everything. I might be dead--who knows?--the day after tomorrow, In which case the storm th.. | Fernando Pessoa | ||
| 64d5ad4 | What is there to confess that's worthwhile or useful? What has happened to us has happened to everyone or only to us; if to everyone, then it's no novelty, and if only to us, then it won't be understood. If I write what I feel, it's to reduce the fever of feeling. What I confess is unimportant, | Fernando Pessoa | ||
| 1a461a7 | Zetesa toso liga ap' te zoe, alla akoma ki auta ta liga e zoe mou ta arnetheke. Ena upoleimma apo ena kommati eliou, lige upaithro, lige esukhia ki ena kommati psomi, na me me barainei polu e gnose oti uparkho, na men ekho kamia apaitese apo tous allous oute ki autoi apo mena. Akoma ki auto mou to arnethekan, opos autos pou arneitai na dosei eleemosune okhi giati tou leipei e kalosune, alla giati barietai na xekoumposei to palto tou. | Fernando Pessoa | ||

| 4c893cd | What does a river know about this and what does a tree know? And I, who am no more than those, what do I know? Every time I look at things and think about what men think about them, I laugh like how a brook sounds cool on a stone. | Fernando Pessoa | ||
| 74e735e | Our children weigh hard on my heart, and thinking about them growing up honest and healthy, or just living to grow up at all, makes a load in my chest that is bigger than the safe at the bank, and more valuable to me than all the gold inside it. | Nancy E. Turner | ||
| 0a20be8 | I told Mama and Savannah about Ruben's proposal. That got us to talking about marriage and we laughed and cried some, and missed Papa, and it felt good to belong to each other. I don't feel as lonely today as I have in months. At least I know there are other women around me. | support talking women | Nancy E. Turner | |

| 9730176 | When those blades cut, they cause tears that feed the well of Urdr that lies beside the world tree, and the well gives the water that keeps Yggdrasil alive, and if Yggdrasil dies then the world dies, and so the well must be kept filled and for that there must be tears. | Bernard Cornwell | ||

| 6a7a6f4 | It is not difficult to be a lord, a jarl, or even a king, but it is difficult to be a leader. Most men want to follow, and what they demand of their leader is prosperity. We are the ring-givers, the gold-givers. We give land, we give silver, we give slaves, but that alone is not enough. They must be led. Leave men standing or sitting for days at a time and they get bored, and bored men make trouble. They must be surprised and challenged, gi.. | Bernard Cornwell | ||
| ecec872 | I liked those tales. They were better than my stepmother's stories of Cuthbert's miracles. Christians, it seemed to me, were forever weeping and I did not think Woden's worshippers cried much. | Bernard Cornwell | ||

| 4e88e0c | What does 'stuck' mean?" "It means I should make some big decision, I should do some enormous thing. And I can't do anything. I can't stand my life, and I can't change it." "Maybe it's not an enormous thing," he says. "Maybe you have to do one small thing and then another small thing." | life stuck-in-a-rut | A.M. Homes | |
| 6b93366 | My mind leaps to my theory about presidents - that there are two kinds, ones who have a lot of sex and the others who start wars. In short - and don't quote me, because this is an incomplete expression of a more complex premise - I believe blow jobs prevent war. | A.M. Homes | ||
| 9d9af21 | I knew the answer, and--of course--so did Ramses. He has superb breath control and always gets in ahead of me. | Elizabeth Peters | ||
| dac728e | Since I am not as stupid as my children believe I am, I had immediately realized this might be a ruse, but I was not at all averse to a confrontation. In fact, I had been hoping for some such thing. | Elizabeth Peters | ||
| fcf10a6 | Fists and rocks and clubs can do a limited amount of harm, but a gun is entirely different. It makes a weak man feel like a hero and a strong man feel as if he is immortal, and it removes the last inhibition a killer might feel. You don't have to be close to a man to put a bullet in him. You don't have to have to see his face. | Elizabeth Peters | ||

| bd46116 | For an actress to be a success, she must have the face of Venus, the figure of Juno, the brains of Minerva, the memory of Macaulay, the chastity of Diana, the grace of Terpsichore, but, above and beyond all, the hide of a rhinoceros. | inspirational misattributed-ethel-barrymore | Madge Kendal | |
| 2ef96e0 | For me, stripping was an unusual kind of escape. I had nothing to escape but privilege, but I claimed asylum anyway. At twenty-four, it was my last chance to reject something and become nothing. I wanted to terrify myself. Mission accomplished. | Diablo Cody | ||
| 94bf020 | Richard either didn't hear me, or chose to ignore it. Smart, handsome, junior high science teacher, degree in preternatural biology, what more could i ask for? Give me a minute and I'd think of something. | Laurell K. Hamilton |
