| 47a0cbb | There is no4.18-5.12 fear in love, but love that is perfect casts out fear; because fear involves punishment, but one who is afraid is not made perfect in love. We love, because he loved us first. | Richmond A. Lattimore | ||
| d51a78b | Blessed are the poor in spirit, because theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. Blessed are they who sorrow, because they shall be comforted. Blessed are the gentle, because they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they who are hungry and thirsty for righteousness, because they shall be fed. Blessed are they who have pity, because they shall be pitied. Blessed are the pure in heart, because they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, because.. | Richmond A. Lattimore | ||

| 52c6fdb | He is the image of the invisible God, first-born of all creation, because in him were created all things in heaven and on earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or lordships or realms or authorities. All things have been created through him and for him. And he is before all things and all things come together in him, and he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, first-born from the dead, to be first himself.. | Richmond A. Lattimore | ||

| c5667ae | Once again I choose to quote the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. (If somebody were to ask why I believe that organization instead of one that made opposing claims, I suppose I would say: About scientific matters a scientist is more credible than a non-scientist. A large panel of peer-reviewed scientists, expressing a common judgment, with the caveats and qualifications denoting honesty, increases this credibility from the beginni.. | climate-change science | William T. Vollmann | |
| c9991b6 | I hope I'll never get ambitious enough to try anything. It's so much nicer to be damned sure I could do it better than other people - and I might not could if I tried... | Nancy Milford | ||
| 362ac19 | The men came from every imaginable economic and social level of American life, "men who were better dressed in their uniforms than ever before in their lives," as Zelda wrote later, "and men from Princeton and Yale who smelled of Russian Leather and seemed very used to being alive...." The larger world that Zelda dreamed of was at her doorstep and accessible." | Nancy Milford | ||
| 561bb36 | It was not, Zelda wrote, prosperity or the softness of life, or any instability that marred the war generation; it was a great emotional disappointment resulting from the fact that life moved in poetic gestures when they were younger and had since settled back into buffoonery. | zelda-fitzgerald | Nancy Milford | |

| 914b38a | One of the first things Vincent explained to Norma was that there was a certain freedom of language in the Village that mustn't shock her. It wasn't vulgar. 'So we sat darning socks on Waverly Place and practiced the use of profanity as we stitched. Needle in, . Needle out, piss. Needle in, . Needle out, c. Until we were easy with the words. | Nancy Milford | ||

| 790b6d8 | Jack Reed, whom The New York Times had labeled "the Bolshevik agitator," hesitated and then equivocated on the stand. But by then the defense of The Masses was plain: criticism of the government didn't amount to a desire to overthrow it.

Dissent was a safeguard to freedom, not an impediment." -- | independence liberty philosophy politics war | Nancy Milford | |

Assim eu aproveitei para olhar para a banda de donde ainda se praz qualquer luz da tarde. Me lembro do espaco, pensamentos em minha cabeca. O riacho cao, lambendo o que viesse.

| 787e002 | Montei, fui trotando travado. Diadorim e o Cacanje iam ja mais longe, regulado umas duzentas bracas. Arte que perceberam que eu vinha, se viraram nas selas. Diadorim levantou o braco, bateu mao. Eu ia estugar, esporeei, queria um meio-galope, para logo alcancar os dois. Mas, ai, meu cavalo f'losofou: refugou baixo e refugou alto, se puxando para a beira da mao esquerda da estrada, por pouco nao deu comigo no chao. E o que era, que estava as.. | João Guimarães Rosa | ||
