Speed is the form of ecstasy the technical revolution has bestowed on man. As opposed to a motorcyclist, the runner is always present in his body, forever required to think about his blisters, his exhaustion; when he runs he feels his weight, his age, more conscious than ever of himself and of his time of life. This all changes when man delegates the faculty of speed to a machine: from then on, his own body is outside the process, and he gives over to a speed that is noncorporeal,... Milan Kundera
I can't believe that our body, composed as it is of mud and shit and equipped with instincts lower than those of the pig or the crab-louse, contains anything pure and immaterial Gustave Flaubert
I have always thought that a wild animal never looks so well as when some obstacle of pronounced durability is between us. A personal experience has intensified rather than diminished that idea. Bram Stoker
But we had with us, to keep and to care for, more than five hundred bruised bodies of men- men made in the image of God, marred by the hand of man and must we say in the name of God? And where is the reckoning for such things? And who is answerable? One might almost shrink from the sound of his own voice, which had launched into the palpitating air words of order- do we call it? - fraught with such ruin. Was it God's command we heard or His forgiveness we must forever implore? Joshua Chamberlain
[Y]outh is hardly human: it can't be, for the young never believe they will die...especially would they never believe that death comes, and often, in forms other than the natural one. Truman Capote
And then I feel as if I'm witnessing a miracle, as ever so slowly she raises her face towards the moon. I watch her drink in the sight, sensing the flood of memories she's unleashed and wanting nothing more than to let her know I'm here. But instead I stay where I am and stare up at the moon as well. And for the briefest instant, it almost feels like we're together again. Nicholas Sparks
If you have experienced an evening more exciting than any in your life, you're sad to see it end; and yet you still feel grateful that it happened. Arthur Golden
Paulo Coelho quote: "It is always far easier to have faith in your own goodness..."
It is always far easier to have faith in your own goodness than to confront others ad fight for your rights... Paulo Coelho
Isaac Newton quote: "If I have ever made any valuable discoveries, it has been due..."
If I have ever made any valuable discoveries, it has been due more to patient attention, than to any other talent Isaac Newton
All stories teach, whether the storyteller intends them to or not. They teach the world we create. They teach the morality we live by. They teach it much more effectively than moral precepts and instructions. Philip Pullman
It is the way of my people to use light words at such times and say less than they mean. We fear to say too much. It robs us of the right words when a jest is out of place. J. R. R. Tolkien
David Bohm quote: "Perhaps there is more sense in our nonsense and more nonsense..."
Perhaps there is more sense in our nonsense and more nonsense in our 'sense' than we would care to believe. David Bohm
Federico Fellini quote: "There is abundant testimony that if we choose love rather than..."
There is abundant testimony that if we choose love rather than self, we gain immeasurably. Federico Fellini
Feelings come and feelings go, And feelings are deceiving; My warrant is the Word of God--Naught else is worth believing. Though all my heart should feel condemned. For want of some sweet token, There is One greater than my heart. Whose Word cannot be broken. I'll trust in God's unchanging Word. Till soul and body sever, For, though all things shall pass away, HIS WORD SHALL STAND FOREVER! Martin Luther
