| 114a902 | Era come se la mia vista fosse diventata troppo acuta, come se, per esempio, fosse improvvisamente diventata sensibile ai raggi ultravioletti. Ed ero l'unico che vedesse gli altri in quel modo, l'unico che si agitasse in un mondo ignaro di quello che stava succedendo a me. Per anni e anni, insomma, avevo vissuto senza accorgermene. Avevo fatto tutto quello che mi avevano detto di fare con scrupolo, meglio che potevo: ma senza cercare di c.. | Georges Simenon | ||
| a38d65d | Take trains, for instance. He was no longer a child, and it wasn't anything mechanical about them that attracted him. If he had a preference for night trains, it was because he sensed in them something strange, almost wicked | Georges Simenon | ||
| 834ea88 | Adoration in prayer purges our spirit and prepares us to listen to God. | Bill Hybels | ||
| 11f859f | She must have been pretty once. At least, like everyone, she had been young. Now her eyes, her mouth, her whole body exuded weakness. Could it be that she was ill and waiting for her next attack? Some people who know that at a particular hour they are going to start suffering again have that expression, subdued and yet tense, like drug addicts waiting for the hour of their dose. | apathy-quotes existentialism | Georges Simenon | |
| a1c6d78 | Civilised men fear wild creatures, especially wild creatures of their own kind who remind them of life in the primeval forests of past ages. | Georges Simenon | ||

| 8498c8a | Confession is probably the most neglected area of personal prayer. | Bill Hybels | ||
| b1a08e6 | We don't take confession seriously enough. If we did, our lives would be radically different. | Bill Hybels | ||
| e304a08 | By forcing us to look closely at our requests, prayer purifies us. | Bill Hybels | ||
| 118dd1a | God is no more intimidated by childish demands for instant gratification than are wise parents. | Bill Hybels | ||
| 882f638 | He that's convinced against his will Is of the same opinion still. | Elizabeth Gaskell | ||
| 5796bbb | Finally, I pointed to the picture on the left. "That one." "Why?" I hadn't known I had to show my work. "I don't know; I just do." "Uh-uh, commit." "I really don't know. They're both nice." I glanced up the hall. "I've got to talk to your brother-in-law." "Come on, Corte. Humor me. You've screwed up my weekend pretty bad. You won't even be my masseur. You owe me." I banked my irritation again and looked at the pictures. Suddenly I had a tho.. | Jeffery Deaver | ||
| 59ad7aa | A lot of spiritual gains come through pain, hurt, struggle, confusion and disappointment. | Bill Hybels | ||

| fc7a49c | If your ear is open to the afflicted, God will keep his ear open to you. | Bill Hybels | ||
| 9e34d06 | One reason we stop praying or let our prayer lives fade is that we are too comfortable. | Bill Hybels | ||
| 9c883a0 | We can have no deep, ongoing fellowship with God unless we obey him - totally. | Bill Hybels | ||
| cbaa29d | Most of us are far too busy for our own spiritual good. | Bill Hybels | ||
| 8f7aab3 | Authentic Christianity is a supernatural walk with a living, dynamic, communicating God. | Bill Hybels | ||

| ade70e8 | It's not a serious document. | Bill Kristol | ||
| f6933cb | I protest once for all, before men and Angels, that sin shall no more have dominion over me. This Lent I make myself God's own for ever. The salvation of my soul shall be my first concern. With the aid of His grace I will create in me a deep hatred and sorrow for my past sins. I will try hard to detest sin, as much as I have ever loved it. Into God's hands I put myself, not by halves, but unreservedly. I promise Thee, O Lord, with the help .. | John Henry Newman | ||
| ffd84cf | On the whole, all parties will agree that, of all existing systems, the present communion of Rome is the nearest approximation in fact to the Church of the Fathers, possible | John Henry Newman | ||
| d97fecf | Judaism, again, was rejected when it rejected the Messiah. | John Henry Newman | ||
| 1efb837 | La llamaron Libertad, y literalmente la adoraron como a una divinidad. Pareceria increible que aquellos mismos hombres que se desembarazaron de toda religion terminasen adorando, en son de burla o por supersticion, una nueva e insensata deidad de su invencion, si no fuese porque los sucesos son tan recientes y notorios. | John Henry Newman | ||
| 987dae9 | A true development, then, may be described as one which is conservative of the course of antecedent developments being really those antecedents and something besides them: it is an addition which illustrates, not obscures, corroborates, not corrects, the body of thought from which it proceeds; and this is its characteristic as contrasted with a corruption. | John Henry Newman | ||
| a8e877f | A development, to be faithful, must retain both the doctrine and the principle with which it started. Doctrine | John Henry Newman | ||
| 7159033 | Mary became the window of heaven, for God through her poured the True Light upon the world; the | John Henry Newman | ||
| 19dd77a | When the Apostles were taken away, Christianity did not at once break into portions; yet separate localities might begin to be the scene of internal dissensions, and a local arbiter in consequence would be wanted. Christians | John Henry Newman | ||
| 341a700 | As Blessed John Henry Cardinal Newman has pointed out, "Son and Mother went together; and the experience of three centuries has confirmed their testimony, for Catholics who have honoured the Mother, still worship the Son, while Protestants, who now have ceased to confess the Son, began then by scoffing at the Mother."11 Newman experienced this firsthand in post-Reformation England, but it is also clear that mainline Protestantism has lost m.. | Carrie Gress | ||
| 3890fde | If I looked into a mirror, and did not see my face, I should have the sort of feeling which actually comes upon me, when I look into this living busy world, and see no reflexion of its Creator. | god | John Henry Newman | |
| 168c11d | Al negar toda autoridad trascendente se afirma que es el hombre quien se da el poder a si mismo. A partir de ahi, como podemos ver en tantos ejemplos cercanos, se puede negar la potestad de los padres sobre los hijos, la validez de la Ley Natural o la misma existencia de una naturaleza humana quedando toda vida humana amenazada por la arbitrariedad del consenso. Asi, la absolutizacion de lo humano a partir de la negacion de lo divino ira ac.. | John Henry Newman | ||
| e839bcd | Christians can relax a bit about the world and its politics: not to the point of indifference or insouciance or irresponsibility, but in the firm conviction that, at the extremity of the world's agony and at the summit of its glories, Jesus remains Lord. The primary responsibility of Christian disciples is to remain faithful to the bold proclamation of that great truth, which is the truth that the world most urgently needs to hear." 7 Or, a.. | Charles J. Chaput | ||
| ab03683 | The key to growth is to learn to make promises and to keep them. Self-denial is an essential element in overcoming all three temptations. "One secret act of self-denial, one sacrifice of inclination to duty, is worth all the mere good thoughts, warm feelings, passionate prayers, in which idle men indulge themselves," said John Henry Newman. "The worst education which teaches self-denial is better than the best which teaches everything else .. | Stephen R. Covey | ||
| 59217f0 | John Henry Newman put it more than 150 years ago, "the general principles of any study you may learn by books at home; but the detail, the color, the tone, the air, the life which makes it live in us, you must catch all these from those in whom it lives already." | Mihir Desai | ||
| 49f8ad0 | Its home is in the world; and to know what it is, we must seek it in the world, and hear the world's witness of it. | John Henry Newman | ||
| 54a465b | Above all, clergymen are bound to form and pronounce an opinion. It is sometimes said, in familiar language, that a clergyman should have nothing to do with politics. This is true, if it be meant that he should not aim at secular objects, should not side with a political party as such, should not be ambitious of popular applause, or the favour of great men, should not take pleasure and lose time in business of this world, should not be cove.. | John Henry Newman | ||
| 18b407a | The Idea of the University, Cardinal John Henry Newman's great work defining how the republic of the mind should be governed, hailed the importance of increasing the breadth of understanding, promoting excellence in scholarship, advancing student dialogue and freedom of expression and inquiry. | Andrew Roberts | ||
| 9208594 | John Henry Newman views the visible world as a veil "so that all that exists or happens visibly, conceals and yet suggests, and above all serves, a greater system of persons, facts and events beyond itself."3" | Henri J.M. Nouwen | ||
