It is an occult law moreover, that no man can rise superior to his individual failings without lifting, be it ever so little, the whole body of which he is an integral part.

We were eighteen and had begun to love life and the world; and we had to shoot it to pieces. The first bomb, the first explosion, burst in our hearts. We are cut off from activity, from striving, from progress. We believe in such things no longer, we believe in the war." - All Quiet On The Western Front, Ch. 5 Erich Maria Remarque
Faith is not about finding meaning in the world, there may be no such thing -- faith is the belief in our capacity to create meaningful lives. Terry Tempest Williams

Does it never strike you that doubt can be a madness, as well as faith? That asking questions may be a disease, as well as proclaiming doctrines? You talk of religious mania! Is there no such thing as irreligious mania? Gilbert K. Chesterton
Let the people who never find true lovekeep saying that there's no such thing. Their faith will make it easier for them to live and die. Wislawa Szymborska
C. S. Lewis quote: "God can't give us peace and happiness apart from Himself..."
God can't give us peace and happiness apart from Himself because there is no such thing. C. S. Lewis
Because they are mean is no reason why I should be. I hate such things, and though I think I've a right to be hurt, I don't intend to show it. (Amy March) Louisa May Alcott
Aw I don't wanta go to no such thing, I just wanta drink in alleys.'...But you'll miss all that, just for some old wine.'There's wisdom in wine, goddam it!' I yelled. 'Have a shot! Jack Kerouac
There was a full moon in the starless sky. I thought how rarely I had noticed such things. Some deep failure of the soul perhaps. An inherited emptiness. A nothingness passed from generation to generation. A flaw in the psyche, discovered only by those who suffer by it. Josephine Hart
Ravelstein mentioned that Keynes had married a Russian ballerina. He also explained to me that Uranus had fathered Aphrodite but that she had had no mother. She was conceived by the sea foam.
