| 9510008 | The women were active, the men passive, and that made Richenza smile as she absorbed wisdom in that moment. Her grandmother had often been told she did not know her place, but truly she did. | Elizabeth Chadwick | ||
| 33dd49c | That springtime does not last forever and that the fine seasons should have their harvest gathered and stored against harsher times. That you should choose your battles wisely. You cannot fight everything and win. Sometimes the price of losing is beyond what you can afford to pay, but that applies to winning as well." She narrowed her focus on the girls. "Be very careful and think before you act. Make friends with those who you know will st.. | Elizabeth Chadwick | ||
| 52aa64f | What kind of a promise ? One that only a fool asks of a madman | Elizabeth Chadwick | ||
| f71ffa8 | When the need is so great, no matter how much love you pour into a bowl, it will never be full. Or sometimes it is damaged, and the love all runs out through the hole in the bottom. | Elizabeth Chadwick | ||
| cdbb39c | When the slaughtered Lamb is seen `in the midst of' the divine throne in heaven (5:6; cf. 7:17), the meaning is that Christ's sacrificial death belongs to the way God rules the world. | Richard Bauckham | ||
| 98ee050 | This means that "meeting the current toward elimination of names is the counter current of late development, which . . . gave to simplified matter the verisimilitude of proper names." | Richard Bauckham | ||
| 790f03f | Even the brightest, best-meaning teenager doesn't tend to think much beyond the moment, especially when they're with their friends," observes Gerstenfeld. As people grow" | Dashka Slater | ||
| b2cf58e | The proponents of hate-crime laws are liberals, and yet they are the ones who are the biggest critics of mass incarceration," observes James B. Jacobs, director of New York University's Center for Research in Crime and Justice, and an expert on hate-crime laws. "So there are ironies piled on ironies. The remedy here is imprisonment, and prisons are the ultimate incubators of antisocial attitudes." | Dashka Slater | ||
| b97e237 | That's not how the system works. | Dashka Slater | ||
| fbc6108 | On her walls she'd posted the family slogan: Never let your obstacles become more important than your goal. The goals: go to class, get your grades up, graduate, stay out of jail, survive. | Dashka Slater | ||
| 62d779f | Belief and disbelief were the same creature within me. | Lewis Nordan | ||
| 2796954 | Roy Dale suspected that Mississippi was beautiful. He wasn't sure. He didn't have anything to compare it to. He hadn't even ever been out of the Delta. | mississippi traveling | Lewis Nordan | |
| e125da5 | Self-blame is usually a way of avoiding something more hideous anyway, something you're willing to be punished for but unwilling to change, or even something terrible in the imperfect structure of the universe. | Lewis Nordan | ||

| ab8fd1d | Dr. Hendrix, why do couples have such a hard time staying together?" I thought for a moment and then responded. "I don't have the foggiest notion. That is a great question and I think I'll spend the rest of my career trying to find out." | Harville Hendrix | ||
| 4cb0750 | We have learned over the years of helping couples that just spending quality time talking about each other's pasts can be very helpful. We've seen how effective this can be in our couples' workshops. Years ago, we devoted half the workshop time to helping couples learn more about each other's pasts. Now, we spend a fraction of that time and get the same results. There is a concept informally called woundology, where couples spend too much t.. | Harville Hendrix | ||
| 03fcea2 | In the words of Wordsworth, we come into the world "trailing clouds of glory," but the fire is soon extinguished, and we lose sight of the fact that we are whole, spiritual beings. We live impoverished, repetitious, unrewarding lives and blame our partners for our unhappiness." | Harville Hendrix | ||
| 45b7586 | A man who attended a recent workshop said that "falling in love with my wife made me feel loved and accepted for who I was for the very first time. It was intoxicating." | Harville Hendrix | ||
| 8766287 | Everything was changing, that was obvious. The world was so full of music, it seemed we could never run out. 'Twas bliss in that dawn to be alive, but to be young and overworked and underexposed and stuck in a nowhere town was very heaven. It was our time, the first one we had to ourselves. It was a smashing time, and then it ended, because that's what times do. | Rob Sheffield | ||
| 0bb0a12 | Human benevolence is totally unfair. We don't live in a kind or generous world, yet we are kind and generous. | Rob Sheffield | ||
| 98ee5a2 | At that moment, I knew she was the girl for me. Of course, we'd already been going out for a few weeks, so I wasn't, like, shocked or anything. But still, it's never not nice to to keep realizing. | Rob Sheffield | ||
| 51484f0 | He sang about girls in space-why not? That's where all the cool girls were. (They weren't where I could find them, that was for sure.) | Rob Sheffield | ||
| dd63fd4 | I felt indestructible, or at least undestroyed, more alive than I'd ever been. | Rob Sheffield | ||
| 06974b7 | My ears rang all the way home and I didn't want them to stop. It made me want to start something. | Rob Sheffield | ||
| 44ade12 | For all karaoke freaks around the nation, "Total Eclipse of the Heart" is one of those sacred anthems. It's the kind of song that announces, "Dearly beloved, we have so totally gathered here today." | Rob Sheffield | ||
| 4982cbf | It started off as a playful fantasy we talked about. Then the fantasy became a plan, the way fantasies sometimes do, and the plan became a future. It didn't hit us as the climax of anything, just the celebration of something that had already happened to us. I guess we hoped the celebration would help us understand what had happened. | Rob Sheffield | ||
| b85e91d | But "ma'am" doesn't translate in the North, where it just startles and offends." -- | Rob Sheffield | ||
| 991ca89 | There's only the one, see. When you fall in love with a girl, she's the bloody White Album. That is what you whisper to yourself, when you don't understand her at all. You just keep telling yourself, she's the bloody Beatles White Album and there's only one of her. | music beatles girl | Rob Sheffield | |
| 973d170 | Planet Earth is blue. Blue blue electric blue, that's the color of my room. Put on your red shoes and dance the blues. I never did anything out of the blue. Now my Blue Jean's blue. See these eyes so green, I could stare for a thousand years. See these eyes so red. Oh you've got green eyes, oh you've got blue eyes, oh you've got gray eyes. I'll give you television, I'll give you eyes of blue. I looked in her eyes, they were blue, but nobod.. | on-bowie rob-sheffield | Rob Sheffield | |
| 0eccb9e | But I never stop playing my mixes. Every fan makes them. The times you lived through, the people you shared those times with - nothing brings it all to life like an old mix tape. It does a better job of storing up memories than actual brain tissue can do. Every mix tape tells a story. Put them together, and they add up to the story of a life. | Rob Sheffield | ||
| eba2db1 | I believe that when you're making a mix, you're making history. | Rob Sheffield | ||
| 68d8fb4 | I always envied my friends who had older siblings who could guide them through the teenage wasteland. | Rob Sheffield | ||
| 89c733e | Being a husband is scary....We have everything to lose. We have made promises. We have given hostages to fortune and challenged fate to a dance-off. We have chosen a future full of loss....when you marry somebody, you are guaranteeing that you will have real problems, a future full of them, the kind that involve death and disease and grief. As husbands, we have *planned* on major anguish. We can't afford to use up all our patience at once, .. | Rob Sheffield | ||
| 60b69b2 | H]e asked Renee, "What does rock and roll have today that it didn't have in the sixties?" Renee said, "Tits," which in retrospect strikes me as not a bad one-word off-the-dome answer at all. The nineties fad for indie rock overlapped precisely with the nineties fad for feminism. The idea of a pop culture that was pro-girl, or even just not anti-girl -- that was a 1990s mainstream dream, rather than a 1980s or 2000s one, and it was real for .. | Rob Sheffield | ||

| 7855767 | You lose a certain kind of innocence when you experience this type of kindness. You lose your right to be a jaded cynic. You can no longer go back through the looking glass and pretend not to know what you know about kindness. It's a defeat, in a way. | Rob Sheffield | ||
| ddd9fcd | When you want to start living, what do you do? How do you start? Where do you go? | Rob Sheffield | ||

| d59c752 | A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity. It dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path. | Maria Shriver | ||
| dfc101c | As Steve Jobs pointed out, life can either be limiting, safe, and secure or it can be wide open, creative, and sometimes scary. | Maria Shriver |
