They are not profound, but they have stayed with me through life, and when I am very old, they will still be near . . .

My argument against God was that the universe seemed so cruel and unjust. But how had I got this idea of just and unjust? A man does not call a line crooked unless he has some idea of a straight line. What was I comparing this universe with when I called it unjust? C. S. Lewis
Jason Mraz quote: "Music is the weapon in the war against unhappiness."
Music is the weapon in the war against unhappiness. Jason Mraz
When I have ceased to break my wings Against the faultiness of things, And learned that compromises wait Behind each hardly opened gate, When I can look Life in the eyes, Grown calm and very coldly wise, Life will have given me the Truth, And taken in exchange -- my youth. Sara Teasdale
Because everything of value that we will know in this life comes from our relationships with those around us. Because there is nothing material that measures against the intangibles of love and friendship. R. A. Salvatore
If one evil thought, if one evil word, if one evil action, deserves eternal damnation, how many hells, my friends, do every one of us deserve, whose whole lives have been one continued rebellion against God! George Whitefield
Ayn Rand quote: "Don't worry. They're all against me. But I have one advantage:..."
Don't worry. They're all against me. But I have one advantage: they don't know what they want. I do. Ayn Rand
Rearden sat in his room at the Wayne-Falkland Hotel, fighting an enemy more dangerous than weariness or fear: revulsion against the thought of having to deal with human beings. Ayn Rand
