| e4ebf0b | You can make many plans, but the Lord's purpose will prevail. PROVERBS 19:21 | Francine Rivers | ||
| e7384c0 | Our salvation depends on not who we are but on who He is | Francine Rivers | ||
| 006624a | I was learning to recognize when God was speaking through someone. He repeats himself. He says it over and over because we are so stubborn, stupid and unwilling. And even scared. Even when he tells us not to be afraid, we set our minds about it, worrying and fretting about every little thing. I was shaken by what God expected us to do. | god love faithfulness | Francine Rivers | |
| 5c48e74 | I'd wish you good luck, but I don't believe in it. | Karen Kingsbury | ||
| 9b065f5 | Our God is greater ... our God is stronger ... God you are higher than any other | Karen Kingsbury | ||
| 2c9bb96 | He wished he had feelings for Andi, wanted to be interested in her...But there were 10 quick reasons why he wasn't interested. The biggest: Bailey Flanigan. He could hear her laugh from across the room. He sighed, and it felt like it came from the basement of his soul. | love cody-coleman | Karen Kingsbury | |
| 1ff47d1 | Don't blink, young people. Enjoy every minute. | Karen Kingsbury | ||
| c8f2d3b | He knew something he hadn't known before ... He not only missed her. He still loved her. | love inspirational | Karen Kingsbury | |
| a3a8a17 | I need you, Bailey. Only you. | Karen Kingsbury | ||
| 580c5b9 | Neither of them was guaranteed their next breath. So why borrow worry from tomorrow? | Karen Kingsbury | ||
| 6f66a1e | The only thing you need is faith in Christ and dedication to each other. If you have that... everything else will fall in place. | Karen Kingsbury | ||
| 42de003 | My grace is sufficient for you, my daughter. I will never leave you nor forsake you. | Karen Kingsbury | ||
| 2fd722b | D.L. Moody, who said in his dying days)In a little while you will read in the newspaper that I am dead. Do not believe a word of it, for I will be more alive than ever before. | Karen Kingsbury | ||
| 6381249 | Don't worry about tomorrow -- tomorrow would worry about itself. | Karen Kingsbury | ||
| 05ea3ac | But believing in God and having a relationship with Him were two different things. | Karen Kingsbury | ||
| b90111b | The death of a friendship was usually slow and insidious, like the wearing away of a hillside after years of too much rain. A handful of misunderstandings, a season of miscommunication, the passing of time, and where once stood two women with a dozen years of memories and tears and conversation and laughter -- where once stood two women closer than sisters -- now stood two strangers. | Karen Kingsbury | ||
| 59a5073 | The devastation of his actions, his meanness, felt like bags of rancid trash heaped around him. | Karen Kingsbury | ||
| 19b3c71 | He would stand by her. He would stand by her as long as the sun came up in the morning, as long as spring followed winter. | Karen Kingsbury | ||

| 49e509b | George Eliot makes us share their lives, not in a spirit of condescension or of curiosity, but in a spirit of sympathy. She is no satirist....But she gathers in her large grasp a great bunch of the main elements of human nature and groups them loosely together with a tolerant understanding which, as one finds upon re-reading, has not only kept her figures fresh and free, but has given them an unexpected hold upon our laughter and tears. | Virginia Woolf | ||
| dfe5b60 | When you asked me to speak about women and fiction I sat down on the banks of a river and began to wonder what the words meant. They might mean simply a few remarks about Fanny Burney; a few more about Jane Austen; a tribute to the Brontes and a sketch of Haworth Parsonage under snow, some witticisms if possible about Miss Mitford; a respectful allusion to George Eliot; a reference to Mrs Gaskell and one would have done. | Virginia Woolf | ||
| dbefdfa | For in the multitude of middle-aged men who go about their vocations in a daily course determined for them much in the same way as the tie of their cravats, there is always a good number who once meant to shape their own deeds and alter the world a little. The story of their coming to be shapen after the average and fit to be packed by the gross,is hardly ever told even in their consciousness; for perhaps their ardour in generous unpaid toi.. | George Eliot | ||
| c430e1f | Poor Maggie sat down again, with the music all chased out of her soul, and the seven small demons all in again. | George Eliot | ||
| a95a76a | Don't suppose that I think you are right, Tom, or that I bow to your will. I despise the feelings you have shown in speaking to Philip - I detest your insulting unmanly allusions to his deformity. You have been reproaching people all your life - you have always been sure you yourself are right: it is because you have not a mind large enough to see that there is anything better than your own conduct and your own petty aims. [...] I don't wan.. | George Eliot | ||
| e92dc84 | Whatever else remained the same, the light had changed, and you cannot find the pearly dawn at noonday. The fact is unalterable, that a fellow-mortal with whose nature you are acquainted solely through the brief entrances and exits of a few imaginative weeks called courtship, may, when seen in the continuity of married companionship, be disclosed as something better or worse than what you have preconceived, but will certainly not appear alt.. | George Eliot | ||
| cccf533 | There is no escaping the fact that want of sympathy condemns us to a corresponding stupidity. | George Eliot | ||
| 1d3f156 | What can promote innocent mirth, and I may say virtue, more than a good riddle? | virtue riddle | George Eliot | |
| 4b9db60 | You must mind and not lower the Church in people's eyes by seeming to be frightened about it for such a little thing. | fear distraction | George Eliot | |
| 5cda8ac | In so complex a thing as human nature, we must consider, it is hard to find rules without exception. | George Eliot | ||
| fa5f41c | But now, since they had been in Rome, with all the depths of her emotion roused to tumultuous activity, and with life made a new problem by new elements, she had been becoming more and more aware, with a certain terror, that her mind was continually sliding into inward fits of anger and repulsion, or else into forlorn weariness. | George Eliot | ||
| e6e669b | Where women love each other, men learn to smother their mutual dislike. | George Eliot | ||
| 816ba43 | Those who have been indulged by fortune and have always thought of calamity as what happens to others, feel a blind incredulous rage at the reversal of their lot, and half believe that their wild cries will alter the course of the storm. | George Eliot | ||
| 0aafbba | The pride and obstinacy of millers and other insignificant people, whom you pass unnoticingly on the road every day, have their tragedy too; but it is of that unwept, hidden sort that goes on from generation to generation, and leaves no record -- such tragedy, perhaps, as lies in the conflicts of young souls, hungry for joy, under a lot made suddenly hard to them, under the dreariness of a home where the morning brings no promise with it, a.. | George Eliot | ||
| cb8c7d2 | I recognized no obstacle to miraculous change but the incredulity of others. This was an idea that died hard, if it ever really died at all. | Tobias Wolff | ||
| 6d38bf7 | Getting from La Jolla to Alta Vista State Hospital isn't easy, unless you have a car or a breakdown. April's Father had a breakdown and they got him there in no time. | mental-breakdown transportation | Tobias Wolff | |
| 47a4cee | But no soldier above the rank of sergeant ever served jail time. No civilian interrogators ever faced legal proceedings. Nobody was ever charged with torture, or war crimes, or any violation of the Geneva Conventions. Nobody ever faced charges for keeping prisoners naked,or shackled. Nobody ever faced charges for holding prisoners as hostages. Nobody ever faced charges for incarcerating children who were accused of no crime and posed no kno.. | Philip Gourevitch | ||
| 148b164 | This is what fascinates me most in existence: the peculiar necessity of imagining what is, in fact, real. | reality life | Philip Gourevitch | |
| fee4425 | Much of [John Hanning] Speke's is devoted to descriptions of the physical and moral ugliness of Africa's "primitive races," in whose condition he found "a strikingly existing proof of the Holy Scriptures." For his text, Speke took the story in Genesis 9, which tells how Noah, when he was just six hundred years old and had safely skippered his ark over the flood to dry land, got drunk and passed out naked in his tent. On emerging from his .. | Philip Gourevitch | ||
| b3f3ff7 | Just as a state's police swear to prevent and punish murder, so the signers of the Genocide Convention [in 1948] swore to police a brave new world order. The rhetoric of moral utopia is a peculiar response to genocide. But those were heady days, just after the trials at Nuremberg, when the full scale of the Nazi extermination of Jews all over Europe had been recognized as a fact of which nobody could any longer claim ignorance. The authors .. | Philip Gourevitch | ||
| b62503e | The piled-up dead of political violence are a generic staple of our information diet these days, and according to the generic report all massacres are created equal: the dead are innocent, the killers monstrous, the surrounding politics insane or nonexistent...The anonymous dead and their anonymous killers become their own context. The horror becomes absurd. | Philip Gourevitch | ||
| 88b890c | The fact that most states are born of violent upheaval does not, of course, mean that disorder leads to order. In writing the history of events that are still unfolding in a state that is still unformed, it is impossible to know which tendencies will prevail and at what price. The safest position is the human rights position, which measures regimes on a strictly negative scale as the sum of their crimes and their abuses: if you damn all off.. | Philip Gourevitch |
