| 474b138 | Quei ragazzini che non avevano nessun timore dell'incubo di Haden adulto non ci misero molto a finirlo. I grandi dimenticano cosa significhi non aver paura. Un mostro non e un mostro se non ti spaventa. | Jonathan Carroll | ||
| 6d0ab61 | Flannery amava i cimiteri. Gli piacevano l'ordine e la bellezza artificiale che vi regnavano, perche sapeva che nascevano dal timore, dalla paura. Non certo dall'amore della gente per i propri defunti. Per lui i cimiteri non erano altro che inutili e patetici reliquiari che gli esseri umani cercavano di erigere per allontanare lo spauracchio della morte. | paura | Jonathan Carroll | |
| 584de2b | These days the couple coexisted uneasily in an edgy state where both knew a separation was inevitable and imminent but neither was brave enough to say so. They were in the almost-terminal stage where trivial things the partner does are keenly noticed and continuously resented; how they wipe the kitchen counters after a meal, the messy state of the bathroom after their shower, the toilet seat up, the toilet seat down. Things routinely ignore.. | Jonathan Carroll | ||
| 65f32a3 | Great sleep dreams seduce and sometimes torture. The best ones can almost break our heart when we awaken from them and find ourselves back...here. | Jonathan Carroll | ||
| 2556b25 | Old age arrives like the first days of fall. One afternoon you look up, or smell something in the air, and know instinctively things have changed. I suppose the same thing is true about our own death. Suddenly it's near enough that we can smell it | Jonathan Carroll | ||
| da7d412 | Night keeps its own sounds to itself because most of them come from the other side of silence. | Jonathan Carroll | ||
| ab69d4d | At eight you're dead serious about what the world owes you: Civilization starts in your own room and moves out from there. | Jonathan Carroll | ||
| 9906a24 | I'd say I'm living, but I'm not alive without you | Jonathan Carroll | ||
| df9341f | Everybody wants to know why we're here, so we search for that answer. We want to know who we belong to so we search for those people and all the while God is whispering, 'Here I am. | family hope love | Donna VanLiere | |
| 63e8464 | So much of life is made up of questions that we think matter today but are forgotten tomorrow. | Donna VanLiere | ||
| f64c9ed | You better find out what you want in life, because that's what you're going to get! | James Kirkwood Jr. | ||
| d7feff5 | What is life? a tale that is told; What is life? a frenzy extreme, A shadow of things that seem; And the greatest good is but small, That all life is a dream to all, And that dreams themselves are a dream. -Segismundo | Pedro Calderón de la Barca | ||
| c18bd7b | Pero veate yo y muera; que no se, rendido ya, si el verte muerte me da, el no verte que me diera. | Pedro Calderón de la Barca | ||

| 8f3119c | Que es la vida? Un frenesi; ?Que es la vida? Una ilusion, Una sombra, una ficcion, Y el mayor bien es pequeno; Que toda la vida es sueno, Y los suenos, suenos son. La vida es sueno Pedro Calderon de la Barca | Nieves García Bautista | ||
| 9d58db1 | Que es la vida? Un frenesi. ?Que es la vida? Una ficcion, una sombra, una ilusion, y el mayor bien es pequeno; que toda la vida es sueno, y los suenos, suenos son. | Pedro Calderón de la Barca | ||
| 46b6132 | If I saw myself erewhile Prisoned, bound, kept out of sight, 'Twas that never on my mind Dawned the truth; but now I know Who I am -- a mingled show Of the man and beast combined. | Pedro Calderón de la Barca | ||
| 2945fe3 | a quien le dana el saber homicida es de si mismo! | Pedro Calderón de la Barca | ||
| 2bfc101 | Any instrument whatever Would be out of tune that sought To combine and blend together The true feelings of the heart With the false words speech expresses. | Pedro Calderón de la Barca | ||
| 93c894c | Suena el rico en su riqueza, que mas cuidados le ofrece; suena el pobre que padece su miseria y su pobreza; suena el que a medrar empieza, suena el que afana y pretende, suena el que agravia y ofende, y en este mundo, en conclusion, todos suenan lo que son, aunque ninguno lo entiende. | Pedro Calderón de la Barca | ||

| 82951dd | I hope you won't mind, my dear, if we take it," said Thunder Karlsson. "Oh, not at all," said Pippi. "Of course not." | Astrid Lindgren | ||

| e78b15e | Alskade Lillebror, vad ar det som har hant", sa hon och slog armarna om honom. "Krister har kastat sten pa mej", sa Lillebror argt. "Nej, vet nan vad", sa mamma, "en san elak pojke! Varfor kom du inte in och sa till mej?" Lillebror ryckte pa axlarna. "Vad skulle det vara bra for? Du kan ju inte kasta sten. Du skulle inte kunna pricka ratt pa en lagardsvagg ens en gang." "A, din lilla dumbom", sa mamma. "Inte tror du val att jag tankte kasta.. | childrens-books rocks | Astrid Lindgren | |

| 7ee35ed | Alles war so uberaus traurig, dass er beschloss, sich auf sein Bett zu legen und ein wenig daruber nachzudenken, wie traurig es eigentlich war. | Astrid Lindgren | ||
| ace69bc | This experience in Malawi changed my whole outlook on how much all of God's servants are interwoven and interlinked. The most humble ministries or missionaries, evangelists, teachers, and shepherds, even those who are perhaps considered failures, are part of the "big picture" and will rejoice with all of us in harvest-joy. This sums up this great book of Roberts Liardon. Let's join their ranks. The harvest goes on. Jesus is coming soon!" | Roberts Liardon | ||
| 4d1fc21 | Lester Sumrall told a story of a conference he and Smith Wigglesworth were part of. It was the first time Sumrall had met Wigglesworth. Sumrall got up to preach. And he preached and preached. After a while, Wigglesworth came up behind him, put his hand on his shoulder, and said, "Son, it would have been wise for you to have ended fifteen minutes ago, when the Holy Ghost ended." And he shut down the meeting. So many people go beyond the Holy.. | Roberts Liardon | ||
| 22b94a0 | Today our nations and societies are ripe for another reformation. Are you one who has the thread of God running through you? Or are you more concerned with how you would look to others if you obeyed God, more concerned with popular opinion? Are you one struggling to climb a political, religious ladder, hoping to be recognized? Are you more comfortable staying isolated with your Christian friends and churches, or do you dare to be the extend.. | Roberts Liardon | ||
| 5d96345 | Ja!, en este punto estaria sorprendido de lo que podria ser una sorpresa. | Rainbow Rowell | ||
| 0d1f7cd | The Indian, in truth, no longer has a country. He is reduced to starvation or to warring to the death. The Indian's first demand is that the white man shall not drive off his game and dispossesses him of his lands. How can we promise this unless we prohibit emigration and settlement...The end is sure and dreadful to contemplate. General John Pope | Stephen E. Ambrose | ||
| 1a17d46 | Pvt. Robert Fruling said he spent two and a half days at Pointe-du-Hoc, all of it crawling on his stomach. He returned on the twenty-fifth anniversary of D-Day "to see what the place looked like standing up" (Louis Lisko interview, EC)." | Stephen E. Ambrose | ||
| 0d4e2e1 | A critical fact in the world of 1801 was that nothing moved faster than the speed of a horse. No human being, no manufactured item, no bushel of wheat, no side of beef (or any beef on the hoof, for that matter), no letter, no information, no idea, order, or instruction of any kind moved faster. | Stephen E. Ambrose | ||
| afc0e89 | The looting was profitable, fun, low-risk, and completely in accord with the practice of every conquering army since Alexander the Great's time. | Stephen E. Ambrose | ||
| 3114b24 | Nor did the Americans find it necessary to wage a ruthless campaign. As has been mentioned previously, both sides respected | Stephen E. Ambrose | ||
| 2adb456 | No matter how bad things got, no matter how anxious the staff became, the commander had to "preserve optimism in himself and in his command. Without confidence, enthusiasm and optimism in the command, victory is scarcely obtainable." Eisenhower realized that "optimism and pessimism are infectious and they spread more rapidly from the head downward than in any other direction." He learned that a commander's optimism "has a most extraordinary.. | Stephen E. Ambrose | ||

| 304dfd2 | When you talk about combat leadership under fire on the beach at Normandy," Ellery concluded, "I don't see how the credit can go to anyone other than the company-grade officers and senior NCOs who led the way. It is good to be reminded that there are such men, that there always have been and always will be. We sometimes forget, I think, that you can manufacture weapons, and you can purchase ammunition, but you can't buy valor and you can't .. | Stephen E. Ambrose | ||

| ff3886b | In addition, it seemed unlikely that one nation could govern an entire continent. The distances were just too great. A critical fact in the world of 1801 was that nothing moved faster than the speed of a horse. No human being, no manufactured item, no bushel of wheat, no side of beef (or any beef on the hoof, for that matter), no letter, no information, no idea, order, or instruction of any kind moved faster. Nothing ever had moved any fast.. | Stephen E. Ambrose | ||
| 6e262b5 | What the Shoshones valued above all else, and depended on absolutely, was the bravery of their young men. Their childrearing system was designed to produce brave warriors. "They seldom correct their children," Lewis wrote, "particularly the boys who soon became masters of their own acts. They give as a reason that it cows and breaks the Sperit of the boy to whip him, and that he never recovers his independence of mind after he is grown." In.. | Stephen E. Ambrose | ||
| 9b6deb2 | But it was all a pipe dream. As well try to stop an avalanche as to stop the moving frontier. American immigrants and emigrants wanted their share of land--free land--a farm in the family--the dream of European peasants for hundreds of years--the New World's great gift to the old. Moving west with the tide were the hucksters, the lawyers, merchants, and other men on the make looking for the main chance, men who could manufacture a land warr.. | Stephen E. Ambrose |
