If we do this, and remember the life and... Charles Dickens

Lewis Black quote: "sometimes i wonder does god just not care are is he to busy..."
sometimes i wonder does god just not care are is he to busy ignoring your prayers Lewis Black
The words were unexpected, but so incisively true. So much of prayer is like that - an encounter with a truth that has sunk to the bottom of the heart, that wants to be found, wants to be spoken, wants to be elevated into the realm of sacredness. Sue Monk Kidd
I don't know whether I believe in God or not. I think, really, I'm some kind of a Buddhist. But the essential thing is to put oneself in a frame of mind which is close to that of prayer. Henri Matisse
You can surrender without a prayer, but never really pray without surrender. You can fight without ever winning, but never ever win without a fight. Neil Peart
every night i say prayers for him just so he knows that when my dayends and i'm ready to dream he will always be one of the last wakingthoughts i have and perhaps one of the first dreams of my sleepingnight... Sandra Bernhard
...all his prayers of the past had been simple concrete requests: God, give me a bicycle, a knife with seven blades, a box of oil-paints. Only how, how, could you say something so indefinite, so meaningless as this: God, let me be loved. Truman Capote
Tell him that we fucking reprogrammed reality. Tell him that language is a virus and that religion is an operating system and that prayers are just so much fucking spam. Neil Gaiman
