Our Quotes (page 617)

Toby had received, though not yet digested, one of the earliest lessons of adult life: that one is never secure.

Papa and I were two different persons and we understood each other. Mama understands Neeley because he’s different from her. I wish I was different in the way that Neeley is.” “Then everything’s all right now between us?” Katie asked with a smile. “Of course.” Francie smiled back and kissed her mother’s cheek. But in their secret hearts... Betty Smith
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley quote: "With how many things are we on the brink of being acquainted,..."
With how many things are we on the brink of being acquainted, if cowardice or carelessness did not restrain our inquiries. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
God created us in his image, male and female, with personhood and sexual passions, so that when he comes to us in this world there would be these powerful words and images to describe the promises and the pleasures of our covenant relationship with him through Christ. John Piper
Khalil Gibran quote: "A great singer is he who sings our silences"
A great singer is he who sings our silences Khalil Gibran
Carl Jung called this his shadow work. He said we never see others. Instead we see only aspects of ourselves that fall over them. Shadows. Projections. Our associations. Chuck Palahniuk
If you are going to walk with Jesus Christ, you are going to be opposed ... "In our days, to be a true Christian is really to become a scandal. George Whitefield
When I was younger, I used to vacillate between thinking love was this great and glorious mystery and thinking it was just something a bunch of Hollywood move producers made up to sell more tickets in the Depression, when Dish Night kind of played out."Eddie laughed. Now I think that all of us are born with a hole in our hearts, and we go around looking for the person who can fill it. You... Eddie, you fill me up. Stephen King
C.S. Lewis said that conscience is nothing more than the voice of God within our souls; the bridge that links the creature to the creator Dinesh D'Souza
Anais Nin quote: "Stories are the only enchantment possible, for when we begin..."
Stories are the only enchantment possible, for when we begin to see our suffering as a story, we are saved. Anais Nin
I know this because the worst has happened. The thing I can’t live with… has happened. And for all our back and forth— and all the things we’ve said and done to each other… there’s one thing that I’ll never be able to tell anyone now… The one thing! The one thing I should have told you. But now I can’t… It wasn't worth it. Brian Michael Bendis
