Old friend, there are people—young and old—that I like, and people that I do not like. The former are always in short supply.

We are all comical, touching, slapstick animals, walking on our hind legs, trying to make it a noble journey from womb to tomb, and the people who can't see it all that way bore hell out of me. —Travis McGee John D. MacDonald
If the painful history of the human and Christian striving for God proves anything, it surely proves this: that any attempt to reduce God to the scope of our own comprehension leads to the absurd.

Neal Stephenson quote: "in the background she can hear the shopping carts performing..."
...in the background she can hear the shopping carts performing their clashy, anal copulations. Neal Stephenson

So bless me then, you tranquil eye that can behold even the greatest happiness without envy! Friedrich Nietzsche
Lie quiet and you will lapse back into peace again. Be like the god Heimdall before the battle call, so still that you can hear the wool grow on the backs of sheep, and the grass grow far away in the lands where the snow melts. Anne Rice
Shel Silverstein quote: "We can't hold hands. Someone might see. Won't you please. Hold..."
We can't hold hands. Someone might see. Won't you please. Hold toes with me? Shel Silverstein
Yet how often is it that we are rescued by a stranger, if ever at all? And how is it that our lives can become drained of the possibility of forgiveness and kindness - so drained that even one small act of mercy becomes a potent lifelong memory? How do our lives reach these points? Doug Coupland
Agatha Christie quote: "Any coincidencce is worth noticing. You can throw it away..."
Any coincidencce is worth noticing. You can throw it away later if it is only a coincidence. Agatha Christie
That's what I told myself five hundred times: impossibility. I can tell you this much: the world is a great big log on the fires of love. Sue Monk Kidd
It has come to the point where if I know I'm leaving a house with a man, I can factor in a bathroom visit or a phone call or both, and when I'm done, he'll almost be done tying his shoes. Mindy Kaling
Who can dream of God? This man did. In his dreams God was much occupied. Spoken to He did not answer. Called to did not hear. The man could see Him bent at his work. As if through a glass. Seated solely in the light of his own presence. Weaving the world. In his hands it flowed out of nothing and in his hands it vanished into nothing once again. Endlessly. Cormac McCarthy

Toni Morrison
