| 72b4706 | It is a sad twist of irony that those who claim to be most focused on the Holy Spirit are in actuality the ones doing the most to abuse, grieve, insult, misrepresent, quench, and dishonor Him. How do they do it? By attributing to Him words He did not say, deeds He did not do, phenomena He did not produce, and experiences that have nothing to do with Him. They boldly plaster His name on that which is not His work. | John F. MacArthur Jr. | ||
| 32295b8 | True believers must realize that the state of our society is the result of the righteous judgment of God. God has not commissioned His people to reconstruct society. We are not called to expend our energies for moral reform. We are salt--a preservative for a decaying generation (Matt. 5:13). And we are lights designed to shine in a way that enables people who see our good works to glorify our heavenly Father (vv. 14-16). In other words, our.. | John F. MacArthur Jr. | ||
| 01c7ea4 | That dawn is seared on my memory, burnt there by the flames of a hall-burning. There was nothing we could do except watch. | Bernard Cornwell | ||
| 6a537e1 | So I woke, I listened, and I heard the small sounds of a wood at night, the things moving, the claws in the dead leaves, the wind's soft sighs. | Bernard Cornwell | ||
| 85456c9 | How charming is divine Philosophy! Not harsh, and crabbed as dull fools suppose, But musical as is Apollo's lute, And a perpetual feast of nectar'd sweets, Where no crude surfet raigns. | philosophy | John Milton | |

| 16d48cf | Alexander took the bottle and poured himself a third glass. Milton hoped that he or Izzy might take the bottle back to the kitchen, where he couldn't see it, but he left it on the table. Alexander looked at Milton. "What did you say you were doing in town?" "I didn't. Business." "What business is that?" | Mark Dawson | ||
| 40df23c | God does not need man nor his won works. | John Milton | ||
| 8677021 | Restava-me o amparo dos livros. Abrigava-me neles da tempestade de todas as duvidas, e para ali ficava, esquecido das horas, esquecido de mim, observando a paz nocturna dos caes dormindo a minha volta com a serenidade de quem nunca estara de mal com o mundo | José Jorge Letria | ||
| 5eed678 | Rosalind: "So you don't want me either?" Rosalind flung up her hands. "Good! Because I am tiered of dealing with men. I really don't need any of you!" Rhys: "That's the spirit, my lady. Keep that up and we'll all be wishing you to the devil very shortly." | rosalind-llewellyn | Kate Pearce | |
| 16a36a1 | Upon himself; horror and doubt distract His troubl'd thoughts, and from the bottom stirr The Hell within him, for within him Hell He brings, and round about him, nor from Hell One step no more then from himself can fly By | John Milton | ||

| 8e34747 | Ye cannot make us now lesse capable, lesse knowing, lesse eagarly pursuing of the Truth, unlesse ye first make yourselves that made us so, lesse the lovers, lesse the founders of our true Liberty. We can grow ignorant again, brutish, formall, and slavish as ye found us, but you then must first become that which ye cannot be, oppressive, arbitrary, and tyrannous as they were from whom ye have free'd us. | censorhip-of-books censorship free-expression free-speech | John Milton | |
| 2c690ff | I fear yet this iron yoke of outward conformity hath left a slavish print upon our necks: the ghost of a linnen decency yet haunts us. | censorship censorship-of-books free-expression free-speech | John Milton | |
| c20d70e | What think'st thou then of mee, and this my State, Seem I to thee sufficiently possest Of happiness, or not? who am alone From all Eternitie, for none I know Second to mee or like, equal much less. | John Milton | ||
| 93b9be5 | But his doom 54: Reserv'd him to more wrath; for now the thought 55: Both of lost happiness and lasting pain 56: Torments him; round he throws his baleful eyes 57: That witness'd huge affliction and dismay 58: Mixt with obdurate pride and stedfast hate: | John Milton | ||
| c3e1236 | 159: To do ought good never will be our task, 160: But ever to do ill our sole delight, 161: As being the contrary to his high will 162: Whom we resist. If then his Providence 163: Out of our evil seek to bring forth good, 164: Our labour must be to pervert that end, 165: And out of good still to find means of evil; | John Milton | ||

| 397bdf3 | Unfortunately for Peter McCluskey, the security services had discovered proof that corroborated the suspicion that he had not eschewed his old comrades-in-arms at all. Indeed, he had become even more virulent in his hatred of the British, had turned his back on Sinn Fein, and cast in his lot with the Real IRA, the off-shoot organisation that denounced the Good Friday Agreement and vowed to continue the war. McCluskey had continued to raise .. | Mark Dawson | ||
| 8fa1958 | Mortals that would follow me, Love virtue, she alone is free, She can teach ye how to climb Higher than the sphery chime; Or if virtue feeble were, Heaven itself would stoop to her. | John Milton | ||
| 63fa695 | Let's only care about the place where we are. There's beauty enough in being here and not anywhere else. If there's someone beyond the curve in the road, Let them worry about what's past the curve in the road, That's what the road is to them. | being feeling god it-is-what-it-is life living meaning nature paganism pantheism worry | Alberto Caeiro | |

| d418f7c | However, when you're about to write something, knowing beforehand that it's sure to be imperfect, a failure, that is the most spiritually tormenting and humiliating of feelings. I not only feel that the lines I write are unsatisfactory, I know that I will find any lines I write in the future equally unsatisfactory | Fernando Pessoa | ||
| e00a73a | We never love anyone. What we love is the idea we have of someone. It's our own concept - our own selves - that we love. | Fernando Pessoa | ||
| c15a0e2 | The only intellectual attitude worthy of a superior creature is a feeling of calm, cool compassion for everything that is not himself. | Fernando Pessoa | ||
| a6cc0b5 | I asked for so little from life and life denied me even that. | Fernando Pessoa | ||
| 59544ef | The fundamental error of Romanticism is to confuse what we need with what we desire. We all need certain basic things for life's preservation and continuance; we all desire a more perfect life, complete happiness, the fulfilment of our dreams and ..... It's human to want what we need, and it's human to desire what we don't need but find desirable. Sickness occurs when we desire what we need and what's desirable with equal intensity, sufferi.. | Fernando Pessoa | ||
| dccfd02 | I abhor running real risks, but it's not because I'm afraid of feeling too intensely. It's because they break my perfect focus on my sensations, and this disturbs and depersonalizes me. I never go where there's risk. I fear the tedium of dangers. | Fernando Pessoa | ||
| cfb2a89 | Nao sou, como disse Goethe, o espirito que nega, mas o espirito que contraria. (...) Porque contrariar actos, por maus que sejam, e estorvar o giro do mundo, que e accao. Mas contrariar ideias e fazer com que se abandonem, e se caia no desalento e de ai no sonho e portanto se pertenca ao mundo | Fernando Pessoa | ||
| a484c23 | Nao me importo com as rimas. Raras vezes Ha duas arvores iguais, uma ao lado da outra. | Fernando Pessoa | ||
| 114a7e1 | O que e preciso e ser-se natural e calmo Na felicidade ou na infelicidade, Sentir como quem olha, Pensar como quem anda, E quando se vai morrer, lembrar-se de que o dia morre, E que o poente e belo e e bela a noite que fica... | Fernando Pessoa | ||

| 1887617 | To conceive of myself from the outside was my ruin - the ruin of my happiness. I saw myself as others see me, and I despised myself - not because I had character traits that made me worthy of contempt, but because I saw myself through the eyes of others, and felt the contempt they feel towards me. I experienced the humiliation of knowing myself. | Fernando Pessoa | ||
| 729db85 | For me life is an inn where I must stay until the carriage from the abyss calls to collect me [...] I could consider this inn to be a prison, since I'm compelled to stay here; I could consider it a kind of club, because I meet other people here. However, unlike others, I am neither impatient nor sociable. I leave those who chatter in the living room, from where the cosy sound of music and voices reaches me. I sit at the door and fill my eye.. | life | Fernando Pessoa | |
| 9458c4c | Like all men endowed with great mental mobility, I have an irrevocable, organic love of settledness. I abhor new ways of life and unfamiliar places. 122. The idea of travelling nauseates me. I've already seen what I've never seen. I've already seen what I have yet to see. The tedium of the forever new, the tedium of discovering - behind the specious differences we see in things and ideas - the unrelenting sameness of everything, the absolut.. | Fernando Pessoa | ||
| 1ab9df7 | Izolacja przykroila mnie na swoj obraz i podobienstwo. Obecnosc drugiej osoby - jakiejkolwiek osoby - opoznia natychmiast moj proces myslenia i podczas gdy normalnego czlowieka kontakt z innymi pobudza do rozmowy i wyrazenia czegos, na mnie ten kontakt dziala paralizujaco, jesli tak mozna rzec. Bedac sam, jestem zdolny wymyslic rozne dowcipne powiedzenia, odpowiedziec szybko na to, czego nikt nie powiedzial, blysnac inteligentna towarzyskos.. | Fernando Pessoa | ||
| 643869c | Wise is the man who has the potential for height in his muscles but who renounces climbing in his consciousness. By virtue of his gaze, he has all hills, and by virtue of his position, all valleys. | Fernando Pessoa | ||
| a609e9a | In these random impressions, and with no desire to be other than random, I indifferently narrate my fact-less autobiography, my lifeless history. These are my Confessions, and if in them I say nothing, it's because I have nothing to say. | Fernando Pessoa | ||
| 097c859 | I forget. I don't see. I don't think. | Fernando Pessoa | ||
| 69cd575 | 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. | Fernando Pessoa | ||
| 0ce16dd | Leave in a complex state of slumber Your consciousness of science. Look At your white face in the wine's red mirror And then drink the mirror ...and your consciousness | Fernando Pessoa |
