Thing Quotes (page 845)

So you know how things stand. Now forget what they think of you. Be satisfied if you can live the rest of your life, however short, as your nature demands.

When spring came, even the false spring, there were no problems except where to be happiest.

Joel Osteen

Armistice Day has become Veterans' Day. Armistice Day was sacred. Veterans' Day is not. So I will throw Veterans' Day over my shoulder. Armistice Day I will keep. I don't want to throw away any sacred things. What else is sacred? Oh, Romeo and Juliet, for instance. And all music is. Kurt Vonnegut

There is no broader way to apostasy than to reject God’s sovereignty in all things concerning the revelation of himself and our obedience... John Owen
Neil Gaiman quote: "There are so many fragile things, after all. People break so..."
There are so many fragile things, after all. People break so easily, and so do dreams and hearts. Neil Gaiman
We mortals, men and women, devour many a disappointment between breakfast and dinner-time; keep back the tears and look a little pale about the lips, and in answer to inquiries say, "Oh, nothing!" Pride helps; and pride is not a bad thing when it only urges us to hide our hurts -- not to hurt others. George Eliot
