| efbc5bc | and what I want to know is how do you like your blue-eyed boy | E.E. Cummings | ||
| 6b37ff5 | Simple people, people who don't exist, prefer things which don't exist,simple things. "Good" and "bad" are simple things. You bomb me = "bad." I bomb you = "good." Simple people (who,incidentally,run this socalled world)know this(they know everything)whereas complex people--people who feel something--are very,very ignorant and really don't know anything. | E.E. Cummings | ||

Cummings | ||
| 054ab19 | Live by faith. Live out loud. And never stop believing God--day by day. | Beth Moore | ||
| a3531cd | More than any other faith challenge I face, believing that I am who God says I am necessitates choosing what God says over what I feel. | Beth Moore | ||
| 7946bd7 | For the most part we've dumbed-down New Testament Christianity and accepted our reality as theology rather than biblical theology as our reality. We've reversed the standard, walking by sight and not by faith. We want to be the best of what we see, but frankly what we see is far removed from God's best. | Beth Moore | ||
| 312db0e | A Christian is held captive by anything that hinders the abundant and effective Spirit-filled life God planned for him or her. | Beth Moore | ||
| 89b2972 | Shall we call coincidence what God calls providence? | Beth Moore | ||
| 89388d2 | The enemy's hope for Christians is that we will either be so ineffective we have no testimony, or we'll ruin the one we have. | Beth Moore | ||
| 88baa6b | Nothing on earth compares to the strength God is willing to interject into lives caught in the act of believing. | Beth Moore | ||
| 20467bd | We can be saved, the Holy Spirit can dwell in us, and yet we can continually live in defeat because the enemy can outwit us if we do not depend on the Holy Spirit and the Word of God. | Beth Moore | ||
| d05fb17 | Trying to know God and serve Him before we come to love Him is exhausting. | intimacy-with-god legalism pride | Beth Moore | |
| 8332f16 | When we set apart our lives unto Him, He will do wonders with us the likes of which we cannot imagine. | Beth Moore | ||
| b375bd2 | A big difference exists between trying to manipulate God to give us what we want and cooperating with God so He can give us what He wants. | Beth Moore | ||
| 1d1165a | Five obstacles block our access to the benefits God wants for us: Unbelief, which hinders knowing God Pride, which prevents us from glorifying God Idolatry, which keeps us from being satisfied with God Prayerlessness, which blocks our experience of God's peace Legalism, which stops our enjoyment of God's presence | Beth Moore | ||
| 0dae4d7 | We need to recognize that lack of confidence does not equal humility. In fact, genuinely humble people have enormous confidence because it rests in a great God. | Beth Moore | ||
| d195d16 | But--but are you okay? Yeah, fine. I checked out the bad guy's place and shot them up a little bit, you know. There were quite a lot of them, and one guy nearly got me with a throwing knife-- But I know you'll be cool with that, because you can trust me to handle myself. Let's go. | Garth Ennis | ||
| 47b8974 | You fought demons?" Jane said incredulously, "And I thought my life was weird." "You turn into a giant panther. Your life is weird." | C.E. Murphy | ||

| d49afab | start with one true thing | C.E. Murphy | ||
| 5298cb3 | He] had seen firsthand the horrific results of appeasement. It was a path chosen by feebleminded people who were morally incapable of confronting evil. He saw many parallels between the Nazis, the communists, and these jihadists. They were all sociopaths at heart--obsessed with their own tribal desires and utterly incapable of conferring justice or compassion on those outside the tribe. If you were not one of them, you were a lesser human, .. | Vince Flynn | ||
| fdb83da | The print does not always have the same shape as the body that impressed it, and it doesn't always derive from the pressure of a body. At times it reproduces the impression a body has left in our mind: it is the print of an idea. | Umberto Eco | ||
| c8da737 | Hay cosas que ves venir, no es que te enamores porque te enamoras, te enamoras porque en ese periodo tenias una desesperada necesidad de enamorarte. En los periodos en que tienes ganas de enamorarte debes fijarte bien donde te metes: como haber bebido un filtro, de esos que hacen que uno se enamore del primero que pasa. Podria ser un ornitorrinco. | Umberto Eco | ||
| f24212e | It seems that the Parisian Oulipo group has recently constructed a matrix of all possible murder-story situations and has found that there is still to be written a book in which the murderer is the reader. Moral: there exist obsessive ideas, they are never personal; books talk among themselves, and any true detection should prove that we are the guilty party. | detective-stories guilt paradoxes readership responsibility writing | Umberto Eco | |
| 09296e2 | History is a blood-drenched enigma and the world an error. | Umberto Eco | ||
| adadb0e | we can only add to the world, where we believe it ends, more parts similar to those we already know (an expanse made again and always of water and land, stars and skies). | Umberto Eco | ||
| a3d8992 | This has nothing to do with realism (even if it explains realism). A completely real world can be constructed, in which asses fly and princesses are restored to life by a kiss, but that world, purely possible and unrealistic, must exist according to structures defined at the outset (we have to know whether it is a world where a princess can be restored to life only by the kiss of a prince, or also by that of a witch, and whether the princ.. | Umberto Eco | ||
| 80962e9 | The good thing about the studium is the that you learn from your teachers, true, but even more from your fellows, especially those older than you, when they tell you what they have read, and you discover that the world must be full of wondrous things and to know them all - since a lifetime will not be a enough for you to travel through the whole world - you can only read all the books. | Umberto Eco | ||
| dd0072a | A writer writes for writers, a non-writer writes for his next-door neighbor or for the manager of the local bank branch, and he fears (often mistakenly) that they would not understand or, in any case, would not forgive his boldness. | Umberto Eco | ||
| f6e7861 | The "thesis neurosis" has begun: the student abandons the thesis, returns to it, feels unfulfilled, loses focus, and uses his thesis as an alibi to avoid other challenges in his life that he is too cowardly to address. This student will never graduate." -- | Umberto Eco | ||
| 97aad67 | El diablo no es el principe de la materia, el diablo es la arrogancia del espiritu, la fe sin sonrisa, la verdad jamas tocada por la duda. | Umberto Eco | ||
| d46be86 | Maybe it was more than that. Maybe some things shouldn't be explained. | Gregg Olsen | ||
| 12883ee | We are the planet, fully as much as water, earth, fire and air are the planet, and if the planet survives, it will only be through heroism. Not occasional heroism, a remarkable instance of it here and there, but constant heroism, systematic heroism, heroism as governing principle. | environment environmentalism motivational | Russell Banks | |
| 5bfef0e | But she did not look the future in the face. She wanted to feel nothing, to think nothing; simply to believe that it was all silly invention on her part. Yet she could not. Not quite. | Nella Larsen | ||
| 1744aaf | I'm not such an idiot that I don't realize that if a man calls me a nigger it's his fault the first time, but mine if he has the opportunity to do it again. | Nella Larsen | ||
| dbc8e4a | I deliberately ignored the sight of lean brown body cutting through the aqua water, glistening powerful arms dipping slow and steady in perfect rhythm with the strong kick of his long tanned legs. I was going to have to work on my ignoring technique. - Tim trying to ignore Jack in the swimming pool. | Josh Lanyon | ||
| 3695de7 | Don't underestimate the power of a guilty mind. Never underestimate self-shame and self-destruction. | self-destruction self-shame shame | Tim Hawken | |
| 0b174a2 | Ingrid shrugged...like Marie Antoinette hearing about the starving peasants. | marie-antoinette | Peter Abrahams | |
| a9cce27 | She was a very beautiful person who was missing something very ugly. Her winnings were the absence of something, and this quality hung around her. | Miranda July | ||
| d06fe09 | He stood right in front of me and pinched my arm and said, Can I see your room? Such relief. Even the pinch was good. I understood completely about needing to hurt someone at the same time that you are giving them something. | Miranda July | ||
| 09ece62 | Oh, the future. I see." A shadow fell over the doctor's face. "You're wondering if your son will get cancer? Or be hit by a car? Or be bipolar? Or have autism? Or drug problems? I don't know, I'm not a psychic. Welcome to parenthood." | Miranda July | ||
| 8878487 | Every night my plan was to make it to dawn and then feel out the options. But that was just it -- there were no options. There had been options, before the baby, but none of them had been pursued. I had not flown to Japan by myself to see what it was like there. I had not gone to nightclubs and said Tell me everything about yourself to strangers. I had not even gone to the movies by myself. I had been quiet when there was no reason to be qu.. | Miranda July | ||
| 4982914 | He called the feeling between us "weird," and I had nothing to add. I kissed the backs of his legs and they sang. He reached around and pulled me down onto his back and I lay there, like on the warm sand of a beach. Just that. That is all there is. That is the whole point of everything." | Miranda July |
