| 5b9b455 | And I wanted to be as I had been yesterday, a boy again, without the heaviness of doubt, this pressing fear, this new treachery that lifted to realms of singing gold, and in a little space, flung to pits of night. | Richard Llewellyn | ||
| 0231ca1 | I want you all to think not only of yourselves and your families but everybody else who is alive. We are all equal, and all of us need helping and there is nobody to help mankind except mankind. | Richard Llewellyn | ||
| 3a7acea | Beautiful were the days that are gone, and O, for them to be back. The mountain was green, and proud with a good covering of oak and ash, and washing his feet in a streaming river clear as the eyes of God. The winds came down with the scents of the grass and wild flowers, putting a sweetness to our noses, and taking away so that nobody could tell what beauty had been stolen, only that the winds were old robbers who took something from each .. | Richard Llewellyn | ||
| ec5e145 | Mr. Gruffydd turned to my father, and he blew the note on the reed pipe. Ivor raised his finger, and from top of the Hill down to bottom men and women hummed softly to have the proper key, with sopranos going up to find the octave, and altos climbing, and tenors making silver and contraltos and baritones resting in comfort and basso down on the octave below, and the sound they all made was a life-time of loveliness, so solid, so warm, so de.. | Richard Llewellyn | ||
| 74b9070 | What is there, in the mention of Time To Come, that is so quick to wrench at the heart, to inflict a pain in the senses that is like the run of a sword, I wonder. Perhaps we feel our youngness taken from us without the soothe of sliding years, and the pains of age that come to stand unseen beside us and grow more solid as the minutes pass, are with us solid on the instant, and we sense them, but when we try to assess them, they are back aga.. | life | Richard Llewellyn | |
| e1bf462 | I]t is pain to think of innocence in ruin. | ruined-innocence | Richard Llewellyn | |
| 8be0509 | But to talk of the world that is hidden in every woman is a journey of pain, for the words are not in use to tell of it, and to use the words that are is only a hopping on uneven crutches. | world-of-women | Richard Llewellyn | |
| 6f5a76c | The beauty and music...It is a call...And some are not strong. | virtue power | Richard Llewellyn | |
| e0814ab | Well," my mother said, and she was not exactly smiling, but as though she was wrapping a smile inside a thought." | Richard Llewellyn | ||
| d4be570 | Bronwen came over plenty of Saturdays after that, but I was always shy of her. I think I must have fallen in love with Bronwen even then and I must have been in love with her all my life since. It is silly to think a child could fall in love. If you think about it like that, mind. But I am the child that was, and nobody knows how I feel, except only me. And I think I fell in love with Bronwen that Saturday on the Hill. Still, that is past. | Richard Llewellyn | ||
| 7aa9c8e | You must realize...that the men of the Valley have built their houses and brought up their families without help from others, without a word from the Government. Their lives have been ordered from birth by the Bible. From it they took their instructions. They had no other guidance, and no other law. If it has produced hypocrites and pharisees, the fault is in the human race. We are not all angels. Our fathers upheld good conduct and rightfu.. | hypocrites government | Richard Llewellyn | |
| 8857847 | Before you are much older...you will have policemen here to stay. A magistrate will be next. Then perhaps even a jail. And the counterparts of those things are hunger and want, and misery and idleness. The night is coming. Watch and pray. | want policemen jail idleness misery | Richard Llewellyn | |
| b331acc | Happy we were then, for we had a good house, and good food, and good work. | good-house good-work | Richard Llewellyn | |
| d3475cb | As your father keeps clean his lamp to have good light, so keep clean your spirit. | prayer discipleship | Richard Llewellyn | |
| 15864c2 | Happy we were then, for we had a good house, and good food, and good work. There was nothing to do outside at night, except chapel, or choir, or penny-readings, sometimes. But even so, we always found plenty to do until bedtime, for if we were not studying or reading, then we were making something out back, or over the mountain singing somewhere. I can remember no time when there was not plenty to be done. I wonder what has happened in fift.. | Richard Llewellyn | ||

| a976652 | O, Voice of Man, organ of most lovely might. | choirs voice-of-man singing sing | Richard Llewellyn | |
| 1ddbcfd | There is a spirit greater than you, always within reach of you, but he only comes to take charge when your own spirit is lost, and cries out in his own tongue, which you cannot know but only feel, and it is in feeling that you will have orders. Yet not even in feeling, for I felt nothing, only surprise that I was going forward. | spirit | Richard Llewellyn | |
| fc4f113 | I cannot tell you...my little one. No man can tell you. No...I cannot answer you, for nothing I could say would be the truth. The truth is beyond us, and is not in us. We go forward in faith. That is all. Nobody can tell us why the Son of Man had to go. He was Prince of Light. He could have ruled the world. But He was crucified, and when men would have fought for Him, He told them to put up their swords. He allowed a rabble to crucify Him. .. | faith going-forward-in-faith he prince-of-light son-of-man why-is-there-death | Richard Llewellyn | |
| 477103a | The evil that is in Man comes of sluggish minds...for sluggards cannot think, and will not...Send upon us thy flames that we may be burnt of dead thoughts, even as we burn dead grass...make us see. | thoughts sluggards sluggish sluggish-minds | Richard Llewellyn | |
| 8017097 | So I went to bed, full, happy, and caring nothing for all the hurt of all the englished Welshmen that ever festered upon a proud land | funny wales welsh english hiraeth | Richard Llewellyn | |
| 36281d3 | There is silly are people. You must suffer, or cause others to suffer, before you will have respect of one kind or the other from them...I will not stand to be looked at by anybody, especially when the looking is done with wrong thinking. | suffering wrong-thinking suffer respect | Richard Llewellyn | |
| a420f85 | Yet Conscience is a nobleman, the best in us, and a friend. | light-of-christ friend | Richard Llewellyn | |
| 139179d | Worry, my son?...I am not worried now and I never have or will. You must learn to tell worry from thought, and thought from prayer. Sometimes a light will go from your life...and your life becomes a prayer, till you are strong enough to stand under the weight of your own thought again. | strength-from-prayer worry thought | Richard Llewellyn | |
| 7c45f8c | So with Dr. Johnson and John Stuart Mill, and Spencer, and William Shakespeare, and Chaucer, and Milton, and John Bunyan, and others of that royal company of bards, thanks to my father and Mr. Gruffydd, I was acquainted, more than plenty of other boys, and thus had a lasting benefit in school. | Richard Llewellyn | ||
| c194703 | I wonder is happiness only an essence of good living, that you shall taste only once or twice while you live, and then go on living with the taste in your mouth, and wishing you had the fulness of it solid between your teeth, like a good meal that you have tasted and cherished, and look back in your mind to eat again. | happiness happiness-in-life | Richard Llewellyn | |
| 14659f1 | my father often stopped to breathe in, for he had told me time and time again that trouble will not stop in a man whose lungs are filled with fresh air. | Richard Llewellyn | ||
| 199d4fc | She has passed information to you. Figures names and facts. You have learnt nothing very much. But you have a splendid memory. It will help you when you start to learn. | learning memory | Richard Llewellyn | |
| d94b132 | Let the Unions become engines for the working people to right their wrongs. Not benefit societies, or burial clubs. Let the Unions become civilian regiments to fight in the cause of the people. | socialism unions | Richard Llewellyn | |
| 81c8a98 | Glorious is the Voice of Man, and sweet is the music of the harp. | man music singing | Richard Llewellyn | |
| 334d975 | It do seem to me that the life of man is merely a pattern scrawled on Time, with little thought, little care, and no sense of design. Why is it, I wonder, that people suffer, when there is so little need, when an effort of will and some hard work would bring them from their misery into peace and contentment. | Richard Llewellyn | ||
| 2fa97fa | indeed I often dream of it, and I can still feel how I felt, as though I was still small, and all those people were still alive. It is very strange to think back like this, although come to think of it, there is no fence or hedge round Time that has gone. You can go back and have what you like if you remember it well enough. | Richard Llewellyn | ||
| 94ccdc0 | In dignity and harmony, in rich beauty rose their voices now employed in noble purpose. Glorious is the Voice of Man, and sweet is the music of the harp. | Richard Llewellyn | ||
| d75d276 | It is strange that the mind will forget so much, and yet hold a picture of flowers that have been dead for thirty years or more... | Richard Llewellyn | ||
| 39721b5 | Now you know what hurt it brings to women when men come into the world. Remember, and make it up to your Mama and to all women. | men feminism women | Richard Llewellyn | |
| 692a304 | Every time I come over, you are moving things off the chairs so I can sit. There are a lot of crates here." Donovan just smiled. "It's a system," he insisted. "I know where everything is..." "Yes," Amethyst nodded gravely. "He knows it's in one of those piles somewhere..." | David Niall Wilson | ||
| 12137f2 | We go in and sit on the sofa by the fire to dry out, and she plays her favourite records, lots of Rickie Lee Jones and Led Zeppelin and Donovan and Bob Dylan - even though she was sixteen in 1982, there's definitely something very 1971 about Alice. I watch as she jumps around the room to 'Crosstown Traffic' by Jimi Hendrix, then when she's out of breath and tired of changing records every three minutes she puts a crackly old Ella Fitzgerald.. | David Nicholls | ||
| de7c2b6 | how it had looked like Eden. He pondered what it was like for the Man and Woman to be in such communion with Elohim, their fellow creatures, and the world around them, full of splendor and glory. He wondered what it would be like to be in Elohim's presence and the presence of his divine council of ten thousands of holy ones surrounding his throne and worshipping in the Garden that was his temple. | Brian Godawa | ||
| 21042e9 | the other gods had discovered the universal economic law from time immemorial: whatever you tax you get less of, and whatever you subsidize you get more of. By heavily overtaxing wealth, she could decrease the amount of private wealth and therefore lessen its power. By subsidizing poverty with government welfare she would increase poverty and thus dependency upon the state. Human nature was such an easy thing to exploit when you understood .. | Brian Godawa | ||
| d3d2469 | Enoch asked Adam about the name he had uttered earlier, Yahweh Elohim. Adam apologized, "It slips out too often. It is the covenant name of Elohim. It is reserved for only the most sacred of relationships. It expresses his essence as the foundation of existence itself. The divine council of heavenly host uses it." He paused for a moment. "We used it in the Garden, but now with the Edenic exile..." his voice cracked for a moment. "It is a na.. | Brian Godawa | ||
| dac280e | Her biggest influence in persuading Noah was in prayer. When Noah was blinded by his own stubbornness, she would ask Elohim to soften his heart. Elohim had a way of opening Noah's eyes better than anyone else could. She did not believe that Elohim had abandoned them. She was sure he was planning something very significant to make his point. It would take something big to transform Noah to accomplish his calling. Elohim was like that. | Brian Godawa | ||
| 58ecca4 | Genevieve has a secret admirer waiting for her outside reported Annabelle. We think he's a prince Grace added. Or maybe a cutthroat finished Charlotte. | Karyn Monk | ||
| 340002d | it occurred to me that professors must get so they unconsciously act the way people think professors ought to act; | Jack Finney | ||
| 00303b5 | She talked all the way back to the office, looking up at me eagerly through her slanted glasses, shoving the hair back off her face. The upper edge of her glasses bisected her right eye, the lower edge bisected the left; and since one lens made half her eye slightly smaller than normal, while the other lens magnified half of the remaining eye, she seemed to have four separate half-eyes of varying sizes, resembling a Picasso painting, and I .. | Jack Finney |
