| 64847b2 | Like most things in life, there's also a spiritual side to my beard. Look at John the Baptist, one of the most important people in the New Testament. According to Matthew 3:4, "John's clothes were made of camel's hair, and he had a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey." He baptized Jesus, who was God in human body, despite his appearance being that of a deranged vagrant. When I try to visualize John the Baptist.. | Jase Robertson | ||
| 6a20b08 | What I realized is that God used a bearded, animal-skin-wearing, locust-eating wild man to prepare the way for His Son's ministry to the people on earth. But John the Baptist didn't look religious in any way. God told Samuel in 1 Samuel 16:7, "Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." It is the heart of a man that counts; the beard, in my opinion, is the exclamation point. If you believe a man's heart is right a.. | Jase Robertson | ||
| 53f6a3a | I lay in bed last night and thought of G.P. I thought of being in bed with him. I wanted to be in bed with him. I wanted the marvellous, the fantastic ordinariness of him. His promiscuity is creative. Vital. Even though it hurts. He creates love and life and excitement around him; he lives; the people he loves always remember him. | sex | John Fowles | |

It must have woken her a little After a moment he felt her turn as well and lay a hand, instinctively, like a sleeping wife, across his hips; as if, in some dream, he was the one who escaped. | john-fowles loneliness love sleep | John Fowles | |

Reprezenta una din fortele intunecate pe care viata le poate crea daca vrea: forma cea mai primitiva de viata transformata intr-o hidoasa combinatie de carne si gandire. Poate asta era si motivul pentru care reusea sa se impuna atat de puternic, ca o divinitate a intunericului. Caci in aceasta vraja malefica exista c.. | John Fowles | ||

You use your life. | John Fowles | ||
| cb1321d | A fost odata un tanar print care credea in toate lucrurile, in afara de trei. Nu credea in printese, nu credea in insule, nu credea in Dumnezeu. Imparatul, tatal sau, ii spusese ca aceste lucruri nu exista. Si cum nu erau nici printese, nici insule si nici vreun semn al existentei lui Dumnezeu in imparatia tatalui sau, tanarul print ii dadu crezare. | John Fowles | ||
