| f3d6a87 | As Kevin climbed the three flights of stairs to his apartment, his brain formulated a vague plan of action.

| 4fb6d20 | I challenge every one of you who can hear me to rise to the divinity within you. Do we really realize what it means to be a child of God, to have within us something of the divine nature? | spirit inspirational | Gordon B. Hinckley | |
| 354573c | Detachment doesn't mean you don't let the experience penetrate you. On the contrary, you let it penetrate you fully. That's how you are able to leave it. | tuesdays-with-morrie | Mitch Albom | |

| 239a6f6 | WESTMORELAND. O that we now had here But one ten thousand of those men in England That do no work to-day! KING. What's he that wishes so? My cousin Westmoreland? No, my fair cousin; If we are mark'd to die, we are enow To do our country loss; and if to live, The fewer men, the greater share of honour. God's will! I pray thee, wish not one man more.

| 3c6d301 | Catch-22 did not exist, he was positive of that, but it made no difference.

| a5c0341 | Ignore that nightmare in the bathroom. Just another ugly refugee from the Love Generation, some doom-struck gimp who couldn't handle the pressure.

| 7303d93 | 8:58 We go to McDonald's. The woman in front of me in line spends more than five seconds contemplating her order. This infuriates me, "WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?? MC-SEABASS??

| d7856a7 | Writing, like life itself, is a voyage of discovery. The adventure is a metaphysical one: it is a way of approaching life indirectly, of acquiring a total rather than a partial view of the universe. The writer lives between the upper and lower worlds: he takes the path in order eventually to become that path himself. "I began in absolute chaos and darkness, in a bog or swamp of ideas and emotions and experiences. Even now I do not consider.. | Henry Miller | ||
| 2d207b9 | Maybe none of this is about control. Maybe it really isn't about who can own whom, who can do what to whom and get away with it, even as far as death. Maybe it isn't about who can sit and who has to kneel or stand or lie down, legs spread open. Maybe it's about who can do what to whom and be forgiven for it. Never tell me it amounts to the same thing. | Margaret Atwood | ||

| 484d77d | My own plans are made. While I can, I sail east in the Dawn Treader. When she fails me, I paddle east in my coracle. When she sinks, I shall swim east with my four paws.

| 4d73ae9 | When you are happy, so happy you have no sense of needing Him, so happy that you are tempted to feel His claims upon you as an interruption, if you remember yourself and turn to Him with gratitude and praise, you will be -- or so it feels-- welcomed with open arms.

A door slammed in your face, and a sound of bolting and double bolting on the inside.. | grief loss religion god | C.S. Lewis | |
| 5e16dd6 | I lay in bed the night before the fishing trip and thought it over, about my being deaf, about the years of not letting on I heard what was said, and I wonder if I can ever act any other way again.

I'll make a voice like all of time and all of the fog that ever was; I'll make a voice that is like an empty bed beside you all night long, and like an empty house when you open the door, and like trees in autumn with no leaves. A sound like the birds flying .. | loneliness sadness fog | Ray Bradbury | |
| e545c22 | Instead of God for my two strong legs that are able to run and jump and climb, I whined about my "thunder thighs" and "thick" ankles. Instead of rejoicing that I have two capable arms that can lift and carry and balance my body, I complained about the flab that hung beneath them. I have been totally and unbelievably ungrateful for everything. Like a completely spoiled brat, I took my healthy body for granted. I criticized it and despised .. | melody-carlson thankfulness perspective | Melody Carlson | |

| df471b5 | Good question. (Acheron) I have a better one. How are we going to clean up this mess? (Kyrian) Nah, mine's even better. How do you hide a chainsaw in your locker at school?

I need protection, man. Serious protection. (Nick) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||

| 4619f52 | The Simi gots some barbecue sauce in her bag. It kind of looks like blood if you squint at it the right way. And it don't coagulate between your teeth like blood or give you them funky burps, not to mention it tastes a lot better too. Especially over that type A stuff. Bleh! I'd rather eat my shoes. But that O-flavored blood...yum! (She straightened and held one finger up in a gesture that strangely reminded him of Smokey the Bear.) And jus.. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
