| d7e2b5d | To love God more is never to love people less. It's to love people best. It's to relieve them of the responsibility of being your false Christ. It's to keep their sins against you from being unforgivable and your sins against them from being ignorable. It's to guard them from our mean-streaks and strong human tendencies to respond to disappointment with punishment. It's to keep the people close by from cutting their wrists on the razor-shar.. | Beth Moore | ||
| 5694560 | The giant step in the walk of faith is the one we take when we decide God no longer is a part of our lives. He is our life. | Beth Moore | ||
| ddc58fd | Life is just a breath. All that will matter forever and ever in our heavenly state is the glory that came to God through our lives. | Beth Moore | ||
| 45a829c | My name is Pride. I am a cheater. I cheat you of your God-given destiny . . . because you demand your own way. I cheat you of contentment . . . because you "deserve better than this." I cheat you of knowledge . . . because you already know it all. I cheat you of healing . . . because you're too full of me to forgive. I cheat you of holiness . . . because you refuse to admit when you're wrong. I cheat you of vision . . . because you'd rather.. | Beth Moore | ||
| 3e64903 | We have no idea how busy God's hands are even when His mouth seems closed. Where God is concerned, silence never equals slumber. | Beth Moore | ||
| 71d0877 | God has so much for you, Dear One. And, yes, seasons will come when He requires so much from you that you feel like you can't bear it. You do have a choice. You don't have to do it His way. You can choose bitterness, resentment, carnality, or mediocrity. Or you can go for it. With everything you've got. You can experience the unmatched exhilaration of partnering in divine triumph. The stakes are high. The cost is steep. But I'll promise you.. | Beth Moore | ||
| fbe1b89 | God may not always will for us to be physically healed in these earthly bodies or tangibly prosperous, but He always wills for us to be free from strongholds. | Beth Moore | ||
| 2939e49 | She learned to catch a moment in her hand before it flew away and hold it tightly while she had the chance. | Beth Moore | ||
| f33e779 | Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God. (Psalm 42:5) | Beth Moore | ||
| 70e632b | if we change the way we think, before long our thoughts change the way we feel. | Beth Moore | ||
| ce7007a | To feel no conviction of sin for a length of time is a serious sign that the Holy Spirit may not reside in us. We can quench the Spirit, but we cannot disable Him. | Beth Moore | ||

| 92acaee | We've the whole wide world out there waiting for us, and we've forever to make the most've it. And that's the thing: enjoyin' life. Not livin' death, or anything stupid like that. What've we got to fear except the sun? | garth-ennis preacher | Garth Ennis | |
| 91c3fab | so I looked at this kid from West Texas, feelin' all cut up an' betrayed 'cause he suddenly realized the Land of the Free been fuckin' him in the ass all his life--an' I told myself, 'Shit, so that's what it's like to be the white boy. Any nigga you ask can tell you that's how America works. | Garth Ennis | ||
| c9541ae | Billy, I can't even pick my nose without using a finger." Sometimes my mouth should stop and consult my brain before it says anything. Billy got this wide-eyed look of admiration that belonged on a nine-year-old boy. It said, Wow, that was really gross, and, more important, How come I didn't think of it? My mouth consulted my brain this time, and I asked, "I don't suppose you could just forget I said that?" "No," Billy said, in a tone tha.. | C.E. Murphy | ||

| d2a0e28 | we lay there in the dark for a split second before the beast galumphed toward us. Meabh, always quick with a sword, sprang to her feet and charged the dragon head-on while I mostly just wondered who or what I'd offended in a past life that this one was peopled by dragons. Except I didn't have any past lives, so apparently I'd offended somebody in life and was facing instant karma. That didn't really improve anything, in my ever so humble .. | karma past-lives | C.E. Murphy | |
| 0f806b6 | Abu, torturing guys and breaking them down is not something I look forward to, although your case is a little different. I think you're such a despicable fuck that I might actually enjoy our little session. (Mitch Rapp to Abu Haggani) | Vince Flynn | ||
| 7ea0a8f | I discovered ... that a novel has nothing to do with words in the first instance. Writing a novel is a cosmological matter, like the story told by Genesis (we all have to choose our role models, as Woody Allen puts it). | creation writing | Umberto Eco | |
| 5871e1c | There are magic moments, involving great physical fatigue and intense motor excitement, that produce visions of people known in the past ("en me retracant ces details, j'en suis a me demander s'ils sont reels, ou bien si je les ai reves"). As I learned later from the delightful little book of the Abbe de Bucquoy, there are also visions of books as yet unwritten." | dreams imagination magic visions writing | Umberto Eco | |
| 6406614 | I didn't know how to define it -- hermetic skepticism? liturgical cynicism? -- this higher disbelief that led him to acknowledge the dignity of all the superstitions he scorned. | Umberto Eco | ||
| 4d92cca | E nevoie de un dusman ca sa-i dai poporului o speranta. Cineva a spus ca patriotismul e ultimul refugiu al canaliilor: cine nu are principii morale se infasoara de obicei intr-un steag, iar bastarzii fac intotdeauna apel la puritatea stirpei lor. Identitatea nationala este ultima resursa a dezmostenitilor. Or, simtul identitatii se intemeiaza pe ura, ura impotriva celui ce nu-i identic. Trebuie sa cultivi ura ca patos cetatenesc. Dusmanul e.. | ideology national-identity | Umberto Eco | |

| 2e85b7d | What model reader did I want as i was writing? An accomplice, to be sure, one who would play my game. | Umberto Eco | ||
| 3e2a7c0 | And if it is possible that creatures live underwater, could not creatures also live under the earth, nations of salamanders capable of arriving, through their tunnels, at the central fire that animates the planet? | Umberto Eco | ||
| 752b989 | If you want to win, you need to know just one thing and not to waste your time on anything else: the pleasures of erudition are reserved for losers. The more a person knows, the more things have gone wrong. | Umberto Eco | ||
| 93eb838 | There must be a connection between the lust for power and impotentia coeundi. I liked Marx, I was sure that he and his Jenny had made love merrily. You can feel it in the easy pace of his prose and in his humor. On the other hand, I remember remarking one day in the corridors of the university that if you screwed Krupskaya all the time, you'd end up writing a lousy book like Materialism and Empiriocriticism. | lenin umberto-eco | Umberto Eco | |

| 13c11c5 | Here's a book about gnomes, undines, salamanders, elves, sylphs, fairies, but it, too, brings in the origins of Aryan civilization. The SS, apparently, are descended from the Seven Dwarfs. | gnomes nazis ss | Umberto Eco | |
| d7e3adb | La desesperada soledad de las paralelas que no se encuentran jamas | Umberto Eco | ||
| c0550f2 | Nothing can shake my belief that this world is the fruit of a dark god whose shadow I extend. | Umberto Eco | ||
| e94a440 | The Antichrist can be born from piety itself, from excessive love of God or of the truth, as the heretic is born from the saint and the possessed from the seer. Fear prophets, Adso, and those prepared to die for the truth, for as a rule they make many others die with them, often before them, at times instead of them. | Umberto Eco | ||
| acc0a55 | Uber die deutsche Sprache: ,,Sie halten sich fur tief, weil ihre Sprache unklar ist, ihr fehlt die clarte der franzosischen Sprache, sie sagt nie exakt das, was sie sollte, so dass kein Deutscher jemals weiss, was er sagen wollte - und dann verwechselt er diese Undeutlichkeit mit Tiefe. Es ist mit Deutschen wie mit Frauen, man gelangt bei ihnen nie auf den Grund | languages | Umberto Eco | |
| 1d9d612 | And in that moment I experience a revelation. I realize now that it was a painful sense that the world is purposeless, the lazy fruit of a misunderstanding, but in that moment I was able to translate what I felt only as: "God does not exist." | Umberto Eco | ||
| fb1bf0a | luckily, Eden is soon populated. The ethical dimension begins when the other appears on the scene. | Umberto Eco | ||

| 12fe116 | Will we be happier afterwards? Or will be have lost the freshness of those who are privileged to experience art as real life, where we enter after the trumps have been played, and we leave without knowing who's going to win or lose the game? | Umberto Eco | ||
| 58051df | Because learning does not consist only of knowing what we must or we can do, but also of knowing what we could do and perhaps should not do. | learning | Umberto Eco | |
| 42314ac | She used to come home alone at two in the morning. When I asked if she wasn't afraid of sexual maniacs, she told me her method. When a sexual maniac approached, threatening, she would take his arm and say, "Come on, let's do it." And he would go away, bewildered. If you're a sexual maniac, you don't want sex; you want the excitement of its theft, you want the victim's resistance and despair. If sex is handed to you on a platter, here it is,.. | Umberto Eco | ||
| 39b4522 | The young no longer want to study anything, learning is in decline, the whole world walks on its head, blind men lead others equally blind and cause them to plunge into the abyss, birds leave the nest before they can fly, the jackass plays the lyre, oxen dance. Mary no longer loves the contemplative life and Martha no longer loves the active life, Leah is sterile, Rachel has a carnal eye, Cato visits brothels, Lucretius becomes a woman.

| aa297fc | New Orleans is not in the grip of a neurosis of a denied past; it passes out memories generously like a great lord; it doesn't have to pursue "the real thing." | new-orleans | Umberto Eco | |
| a927e80 | In the years when I discoverd the Abbe Vallet volume, there was a widespread conviction that one should write only out of a commitment to the present, in order to change the world. Now, after ten years or more, the man of letters (restored to his loftiest dignity) can happily write out of pure love of writing. | Umberto Eco |
