| fa0ec31 | A writer who hasn't written anything worth-while is a most doubtful person. | Richard Wright | ||
| ceb02ad | Out of the magazines I read came a passionate call for the experiences of the disinherited, and there were none of the lame lispings of the missionary in it. It did not say: "Be like us and we will like you, maybe." It said: "If you possess enough courage to speak out what you are, you will find that you are not alone." | communism | Richard Wright | |
| 422456b | Sweep away the clouds And let a dome of blue sky Give this sea a name! | Richard Wright | ||
| ab4dbcf | I had once tried to write, had once reveled in feeling, had let m crude imagination roam, but the impulse to dream had been slowly beaten out of me by experience. Now it surged up again and i hungered for books, new ways of looking and seeing. It was not a matter of believing or disbelieving what I read, but of feeling something new, of being affected by something that made the look of the world different. | writers-life writers-on-reading writers-on-writing writers-quotes | Richard Wright | |
| 63a3d21 | That abandoned house, With its yard of fallen leaves, In the setting sun. | Richard Wright | ||
| 5381245 | Even the cat smiles When the hen swallows water With back-tilted head. | Richard Wright | ||
| f01fea8 | What you do in the present--by painting, preaching, singing, sewing, praying, teaching, building hospitals, digging wells, campaigning for justice, writing poems, caring for the needy, loving your neighbor as yourself--will last into God's future.[27] -N. T. Wright | Richard Dahlstrom | ||
| b72c87b | According to Evelyn (and she should know), the big market in radio in the next few years is going to be in afternoon serial dramas for housewives. It makes sense when you think about it. Women are home all day washing and ironing and cleaning, and while they're doing all that, they can listen to programs about people who lead more interesting lives. | Richard B. Wright | ||
| f3bd194 | I had never in my life been abused by whites, but I had already become as conditioned to their existence as though I had been the victim of a thousand lynchings. | Richard Wright | ||
| dff8b7e | in a boy like Bigger, young, unschooled, whose subjective life was clothed in the tattered rags of American "culture," this primitive fear and ecstasy were naked, exposed, unprotected by religion or a framework of government or a scheme of society whose final faiths would gain his love and trust; unprotected by trade or profession, faith or belief; opened to every trivial blast of daily or hourly circumstance. There" | Richard Wright | ||
| b4aa884 | You can't take a class if taking a class feels like it's going to kill you. Faking it never works. If you don't believe me, read Richard Wright. Read Charlotte Bronte. Read Joy Harjo. Read Toni Morrison. Read William Trevor. Read the entire Western canon. Or just close your eyes and remember everything you already know. Let whatever mysterious starlight that guided you this far guide you onward into whatever crazy beauty awaits. Trust that .. | Cheryl Strayed | ||
| df5c573 | The record of so-called Communist revolutions in the twentieth century is instructive. While one can expect some Marxists to deny that lessons should be drawn from these revolutions, since they happened in relatively primitive rather than advanced capitalist countries, the experiences are at least suggestive. For what they created in their respective societies was not socialism (workers' democratic control of production) or communism (a cla.. | Chris Wright | ||
| 484c8c7 | As long as he could remember, he had never been responsible to anyone. The moment a situation became so that it exacted something of him, he rebelled. That was the way he lived; he passed his days trying to defeat or gratify powerful impulses in a world he feared. Outside | Richard Wright | ||
| 65bf902 | Over spring mountains A star ends the paragraph Of a thunderstorm. | Richard Wright | ||
| f11303f | Ovunque, nella mia vita, io abbia incontrato la religione, ho trovato la discordia, il tentativo di un individuo o di un gruppo di dominare un altro in nome di Dio. | Richard Wright | ||
| 79adf50 | If laying down my life could stop the suffering in the world I'd do it. But I don't believe anything can stop it. | Richard Wright | ||
| 25e90d7 | Life had made the plot over and over again, to the extent that I knew it by heart. | Richard Wright | ||
| d1ec2e3 | After lunch Marion and I sat with hundreds of children and watched the dwarf movie. Entrancing in its own way and the colour is extraordinary. Yet I wonder if children who see it will ever again read Snow White in quite the same way and with quite the same magic? | Richard B. Wright | ||
| 2328142 | Pale yellow sunshine fell through high windows and slashed the air. | Richard Wright | ||
| 36c37dd | My businessman friend Dudley Wright saw the drawing and I told him the story about it. He said, "You oughta triple its price. With art, nobody is really sure of its value, so people often think, 'If the price is higher, it must be more valuable!'" I said, "You're crazy!" but, just for fun, I bought a twenty-dollar frame and mounted the drawing so it would be ready for the next customer. Some guy from the weather forecasting business saw the.. | Richard Feynman | ||

| eb37ddd | the obstacles are enough to change a person's attitude and have them become depressed, overwhelmed, unhappy or sad. The positive ends, the negative begins and the demons win. | Terri Reid | ||
| 8299cd2 | In all my lives, the only thing I've seen save people from themselves is hope. Hope beyond logic. Hope beyond what the eye can see. Filled with hope, the human spirit is an insatiable force of energy, transcending biology to embrace something eternal. Without hope, the spirit dies and nothing awaits but death. | hope spirituality | Terry Moore | |
| 3601306 | You need to be careful to stay out of Charlie's line of sight," Steve said to me. "I want Charlie focusing only on me. If he changes focus and starts attacking you, it's going to be too difficult for me to control the situation." Right. Steve got no argument from me. Getting anywhere near those bone-crushing jaws was the furthest thing from my mind. I wasn't keen on being down on the water with a huge saltwater crocodile trying to get me. I.. | Terri Irwin | ||

| 358962f | Steve drove the next morning as we made the turn for the Burdekin River. The single-lane dirt road, as small as it was, ended there--but we had another two or three hours of four-wheel driving to go. We navigated through deep ravines carved by the area's repeated cyclone-fed floods, occasionally balancing on three wheels. "Hang out the window, will you?" Steve shouted as we maneuvered around the edge of a forty-foot drop. "I need to you to.. | Terri Irwin | ||
| f3a61b2 | It doesn't look like a sorceress castle", said Roland. "I was expecting something more sinister. You know, a round store tower with a single gleaming red window. This place makes me think of hot chocolate and gingerbread." "maybe this is just his vacation home", said Terry." | fail sorceress-and-magic | John Moore | |
| ecce8b8 | Lilith: 'Your daughter is special. Her gifts need to be developed and nourished.' Mary: 'I take care of my own.' Lilith: 'You're feeding her body - I'll feed her spirit.' Mary: 'The Lord feeds her spirit, through the Good Book.' Lilith: 'That book wasn't written for her, Mary, nor you. It was written for people of another time... and they're long gone. It has nothing to do with you. If you had any idea how little you people matter to God... | Terry Moore | ||
| 1c4ba97 | The biggest challenge with a ketogenic diet is reducing the carbohydrate and protein intake sufficiently to get into and maintain ketosis. If you eat too much protein, your body will convert the amino acids into glucose. If you eat too many carbs, your blood sugar will be too high to have ketones. It takes fat to make the ketone bodies. - Dr. Terry Wahls | Jimmy Moore | ||
| 3911b71 | We put off different vibes, some people might call it auras, depending on our modes," he said. "Especially when we love someone, our auras kind of connect with each other." -- | Terri Reid | ||
| 155b133 | Well, if you don't have the faith to fight a demon," he said, "then it eventually wins. Faith is basically your sword of protection." | Terri Reid | ||

| 0303aa5 | If you are locked in a room in your dream, you just tell yourself there's a key in your pocket. Then you reach in your pocket for the key and get yourself out. It's your dream. You get to write the script. | Terri Reid | ||
| 63fb0ec | Patrice Marcum shook her head in amazement as two middle-aged women fought over the last pair of flannel pajama pants marked down to $4.99. | Terri Reid | ||
