Our strenght is often composed of the weakness we're damned if we're going to show. Mignon McLaughlin
And immediately. Rather than words comes the thought of high windows: The sun-comprehending glass, And beyond it, the deep blue air, that shows. Nothing, and is nowhere, and is endless. Philip Larkin
Rene Daumal quote: "Philosophy teaches how man thinks he thinks; but drinking..."
Philosophy teaches how man thinks he thinks; but drinking shows how he really thinks. Rene Daumal
Perhaps it's only when people are dead that we can safely show how much we cared about them. We know that it's too late then for them to do anything about it. P. D. James
Sailors have an expression about the weather: they say the weather is a great bluffer. I guess the same is true of our human society? things can look dark, then a break shows in the clouds, and all is changed. E. B. White
Choose a life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television. Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers... Choose DSY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit crushing game shows, stucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away in the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish,... Irvine Welsh

In the courageous standing of uncertainty, faith shows most visibly its dynamic character. Paul Tillich
With no small interest, Captain Delano continued to watch her---a proceeding not much facilitated by the vapors partly mantling the hull, through which the far matin light from her cabin streamed equivocally enough; much like the sun---by this time hemisphered on the rim of the horizon, and, apparently, in company with the strange ship entering the harbor---which, wimpled by the same low, creeping clouds, showed not unlike a Lima intriquante's one sinister eye peering across the Plaza from... Herman Melville
You know yourself what you are worth in your own eyes; and at what price you will sell yourself. For men sell themselves at various prices. This is why, when Florus was deliberating whether he should appear at Nero's shows, taking part in the performance himself, Agrippinus replied, 'Appear by all means.' And when Florus inquired, 'But why do not you appear?' he answered, 'Because I do not even consider the question.' For the man who has once stooped to consider such questions, and to reckon... Epictetus
For it falls out. That what we have we prize not to the worth. Whiles we enjoy it, but being lacked and lost, Why, then we rack the value, then we find. The virtue that possession would not show us. While it was ours. William Shakespeare
If Lacan presumes that female homosexuality issues from a disappointed heterosexuality, as observation is said to show, could it not be equally clear to the observer that heterosexuality issues from a disappointed homosexuality? Judith Butler
Confession is the act of inviting God to walk the acreage of our hearts. “There is a rock of greed over here, Father. I can’t budge it. And that tree of guilt near the fence? Its roots are long and deep. And may I show you some dry soil, too crusty for seed?” God’s seed grows better if the soil of the heart is cleared. Max Lucado
I would never speak about faith, but speak about the Lord himself - not theologically, as to the why and wherefore of his death - but as he showed himself in his life on earth, full of grace, love, beauty, tenderness and truth. Then the needy heart cannot help hoping and trusting in him, and having faith, without ever thinking about faith. How a human heart with human feelings and necessities is ever to put confidence in the theological phantom which is commonly called Christ in our pulpits,... George MacDonald
The job is what you do when you are told what to do. The job is showing up at the factory, following instructions, meeting spec, and being managed. Someone can always do your job a little better or faster or cheaper than you can. The job might be difficult, it might require skill, but it's a job. Your art is what you do when no one can tell you exactly how to do it. Your art is the act of taking personal responsibility, challenging the status quo, and changing people. I call the process of...
