| 05401d1 | It's taco night at Portland Street. | Gordon Korman | ||
| 21f16d1 | The tradition at C Average was to nominate the biggest loser in the building. | Gordon Korman | ||

| 7e74ccb | We are more than merely Lucian, Janus, Ekaterina, Tomas, and Madrigal. We are all Cahills, and we are under attack. | Gordon Korman | ||
| 66bb888 | You didn't have to stab yourself on stage. All that blood --" "It was ketchup." "It was gross," | Gordon Korman | ||
| 6c0aee8 | The spiritual experience of expressing a shared hostility can even be confused for the Holy Spirit ... because of how it feels. | Brian Zahnd | ||
| f677e4c | Jesus was trying to lead humanity into the deep truth that there is no "them;" there is only us." | Brian Zahnd | ||
| 9431c91 | Because while we believe in Jesus as Savior of the private soul, we remain largely unconvinced about his ideas for saving the world. | Brian Zahnd | ||
| 255dd84 | Christian faith is more about connecting our lives with Christ than it is about gaining spiritual information. | Brian Zahnd | ||
| d7621e6 | on the first Palm Sunday. It happened a hundred and fifty years ago in America. It continues to happen today. If we think Jesus shares and endorses our disdain and enmity for our enemies, we don't know the things that make for peace, and we are headed for | Brian Zahnd | ||
| 32cbe77 | So when Jesus comes along and says to us, "Love your enemy," we instinctively feel how radical it is. He's not just giving individuals a personal ethic; he is striking at the very foundation of the world! The world was founded on hating enemies, and now Jesus says, "Don't do it!" When Jesus said, "Turn the other cheek," he wasn't just trying to produce kinder, gentler people; he was trying to refound the world! Instead of retaliatory violen.. | Brian Zahnd | ||
| 290a647 | American Christians especially should keep in mind that we as the modern Romans--the privileged citizens of the world's lone superpower--have more in common with Pontius Pilate than we do with Galilean peasants. | Brian Zahnd | ||
| 812676e | This is not to suggest that Christ isn't the source of salvation of the human soul, but I am suggesting that the mission of Christ extends far beyond the narrow spectrum of private spirituality and afterlife expectations. Jesus actually intends to save the world! And by world, I mean God's good creation and God's original intent for human society. | Brian Zahnd | ||
| 79dd99a | The Beatitudes are deliberately designed to shock us. If we're not shocked by the Beatitudes, it's only because we have tamed them with a patronizing sentimentality--and being sentimental about Jesus is the religious way of ignoring Jesus! Too often the Beatitudes are set aside into the category of "nice things that Jesus said that I don't really understand." | Brian Zahnd | ||
| 0474972 | It's true that the gospel of Luke records Jesus as saying, "Blessed are you who are poor"--period. (Luke 6:20) In Luke's Beatitudes, Jesus simply blesses the poor, and the further categorization of "in spirit" is omitted. In Luke, Jesus blesses the poor without reference to what kind of poverty it is. The truth is this: Jesus meets us at our point of poverty, not our place of strength. If we want to position ourselves to receive Christ's bl.. | Brian Zahnd | ||
| 6e06e02 | If what we mean by "Jesus saves the world" gets reduced to "saved people go to heaven when they die," then Jesus is simply the one who saves us from the world, not the Savior of the world. But this is not what the apostle John" | Brian Zahnd | ||
| cd014c9 | Christianity as the ongoing expression of the Jesus story lived out in the lives of individuals and in the heart of society is a beauty that can redeem the world. | Brian Zahnd | ||
| ebb78d5 | Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed | Brian Zahnd | ||
| 7e7bbaa | Not long ago I was in Istanbul, Turkey. While there I toured the Topkapi Palace--the former royal palace of the Ottoman sultans and center of the Ottoman Empire. Among the many artifacts collected throughout the centuries and on display was an item I found quite remarkable--the sword of the prophet Muhammad. There, under protective glass and illuminated by high-tech lighting, was the fourteen-hundred-year-old sword of the founder of Islam. .. | Brian Zahnd | ||
| 92fdcfc | The beauty of the image of God marred in man through the Fall is what the Incarnation redeems. | Brian Zahnd | ||
| 59ab903 | Feeling intimidated by the Scientific Revolution, fundamentalism takes a "scientific" approach to the Bible--which is perhaps the worst of all ways to approach Scripture. The Bible is not interested in giving (or even competing with) scientific explanations. The Bible is working on a different project than scientific inquiry." | Brian Zahnd | ||
| 0000483 | The fall of communism had more to do with prayer meetings in Poland than bombs dropped on Cambodia. | Brian Zahnd | ||
| fcf46e1 | I pledge no allegiance to elephants or donkeys, only to the Lamb. | Brian Zahnd | ||
| 7a32bcf | the church sacrifices the beauty of Christianity when it chooses the political form over the cruciform. Reaching for the ring of power distorts our beauty. | Brian Zahnd | ||
| 98d02f4 | Umetnost je nesiguran poziv koji nit 'hrani nit' brani onog ko mu se oda. Put umetnosti uopste je neizvestan, varljiv i tezak, a igra je ponajteza i najvarljivija od svih umetnosti, cak ozloglasena i opasna stvar. | Ivo Andrić | ||
| 9f69f0d | A most je i dalje stajao, onakav kakav je oduvek bio, sa svojom vecitom mladoscu savrsene zamisli i dobrih i velikih ljudskih dela koja ne znaju sta je starenje ni promena i koja, bar tako izgleda, ne dele sudbinu prolaznih stvari ovoga sveta. | Ivo Andrić | ||
| 8ba477d | Dunyanin bir tarafinda bir yerde, bir piyango cekiliyor, savas yapiliyor ve hepimizin alinyazisi da boylece uzaklarda belirtiliyordu. | ivo-andric novel ottoman-empire quotes | Ivo Andrić | |
| 8e756ab | nesrecno je svako telo koje zivi samo za sebe i sebe radi, a pravu meru svoje nesrece uvida tek kad pocne da stari | na Žena | Ivo Andrić | |
| ef7ba7f | Uzaludno i pogresno je traziti smisao u beznacajnim a prividno vaznim dogadajima koji se desavaju oko nas, nego ga treba traziti u onim naslagama koja stoleca stvaraju oko nekoliko glavnih legendi covecanstva- legendi o prvom grehu, potopu, Prometeju, Sinu covecijem | razgovor | Ivo Andrić | |
| 72bc845 | Edno ot strashnite neshcha v choveshkite otnosheniia se krie v tova kolko bezpomoshchni i naprazni sa blagostta, samozhertvata i lisheniiata na onezi, koito ni obichat, no koito nie ne obichame. "Prok'lnata istoriia" | Ivo Andrić | ||
| 4282340 | Svi su oni u sustini jedno i podjednako vredni nase paznje, jer pokazuju mesto na kome je covek naisao na zapreku i nije zastao pred njom, nego je savladao i premostio kako je mogao, prema svom shvatanju, ukusu i prilikama kojima je bio okruzen. | Ivo Andrić | ||
| eae3426 | Naposletku, sve cim se ovaj nas zivot kazuje - misli, napori, pogledi, osmesi, reci, uzdasi - sve to tezi ka drugoj obali, kojoj se upravlja kao cilju, i na kojoj tek dobiva svoj pravi smisao. Sve to ima nesto da savlada i premosti: nered, smrti ili nesmisao, Jer, sve je prelaz, most ciji se krajevi gube u beskonacnosti, a prema kom su svi zemni mostovi samo decije igracke, bledi simboli. A sva je nasa nada s one strane. | Ivo Andrić | ||

| 52b5321 | Kad bi se sakupila i ujedno sabrala licna osecanja gneva, protesta, gadenja i ogorcenja sa kojima su ljudi pojedinci umrli, uzalud dozivajuci pravdu i zastitu - kad bi tako nesto bilo mogucno - bila bi to velika snaga, divan prizor, i uteha ljudskom duhu zauvek. Nazalost, to je nezamislivo i neizvodljivo. Svak umire u tami i teskobi svoga ocajavanja, a vecina sa osecanjem uzaludnosti svojih najboljih teznja i napora. | Ivo Andrić | ||
| 8ff4cc8 | Invecchieremo negli anni, per la vita burrascosa, e ci arresteremo dinanzi al desiderio; cio non vuol dire che saremo <> - Dio ci salvi! - non ostenteremo <>. No, saremo piu contenti di restare quieti a colloquiare in silenzio; tutto sara ricordo ameremo ancora libri e quadri che agli altri appaiono senza valore. Certamente, invecchieremo, in un tempo lontano. Adesso e per molto ancora, varra la pena adirarci, amarci, scontrarci, litigare, .. | poesía | Ivo Andrić | |
| 8d4c970 | Dovoljan je sam sebi i potpuno zadovoljan onim sto je i sto znaci u ocima drugih ljudi. Sam nema potrebe da bude ili da izgleda ma sta drugo do ono sto jeste, a niko od njega ne ocekuje i ne trazi nista drugo. | Ivo Andrić | ||
| 0495b80 | Ponekad se cela ova sarena dnevna stvarnost naseg zivota zanjise kao tanka kulisa i mi, za trenutak jedan, sagledamo ono sto se nalazi iza nje. Od toga nam se zavrti u glavi, ponese nas laka nesvestica koja brzo prode, ali posle toga cuvamo dugo secanje na taj trenutak, kao saznanje koje nas krepi i daje nam snage da izdrzimo ovu stvarnost na koju smo osudeni. | Ivo Andrić | ||
| 238d80e | Od straha su ljudi zli i surovi i podli, od straha su darezljivi, cak i dobri. Sve se nizi visega boji. A onaj koji nema nikog da se boji taj preza pred strahom kog mu rada njegova bolesna masta, jer strah je kao zaraza koja ispunjava sve mozgove. Kad bih mogao zaviriti u nutrinu ovom covjeku kom je odredeno da me muci, mislim da bih nasao malu, bijednu dusu, izmucenu obzirima i strahom pred propustima i ukorima. Zao mi ga je i ta me samilo.. | Ivo Andrić | ||
| d1886b4 | Ideal umjetnika: tiho zivjeti i biti u sve dane zaposlen stvaranjem u najraznolicnijim formama, ali stvaranjem jedino i davanjem uvijek, da se nema vremena da zivi i da se ima od svih radosti samo jednu jedinu: veliku radost stvaranja, a potom mirno isceznuti i ostaviti se u boji, u liniji, u rijeci, u gestu, u zvuku, da bi se svijetlilo vijekovima i grijalo svoje i svakog. | predeli staze | Ivo Andrić | |
| f487d26 | No one knows what it means to be born and to live on the brink, between two worlds....to love and hate both, to hesitate and waver all one's life. To have two homelands and yet have none. To be everywhere at home and to remain forever a stranger. In short, to be torn on a rack, but as both victim and torturer at once. | Ivo Andrić | ||
| 4a306ab | Svako ljudsko delo i svaka rec mogu da donesu zlo. | Ivo Andrić | ||
| 02fc459 | Vreme je takvo da je coveku i bez pica mutno u glavi. | Ivo Andrić | ||
| f136e5d | Ambicije i tu truju ljudima zivote i medjusobne odnose, mrznje tinjaju godinama,velike ljubavi nicu neocekivano i gase se sporo i zalosno.Ukratko, tu ima pomalo od svega sto inace medju ljudima biva i sto ih povezuje ili deli, podize ili satire. | Ivo Andrić | ||
| 75b2292 | Lost in his thoughts he looked out from his shop at the shining loveliness of that first day of March. Opposite him, a little to the side, stood the eternal bridge, everlastingly the same; through its white arches could be seen the green, sparkling, tumultuous waters of the Drina, so that they seemed like some strange diadem in two colours which sparkled in the sun. | drina river | Ivo Andrić |
