Margaret Atwood quote: "These things sneak up on him for no reason, these flashes of..."
These things sneak up on him for no reason, these flashes of irrational happiness. It's probably a vitamin deficiency. Margaret Atwood
Jerry Falwell said that the reason that September 11th happened, the reason that God allowed it to happen, was because of certain people in our country. People like, and I'm quoting, 'the pagans,' which is a motorcycle group. Feminists; he brought up feminists.

It was those people, and that was the reason God allowed this to happen. And I thought, 'That's odd.'... Lewis Black
If you yield yourself up to His divine working, the Lord will alter your nature; He will subdue the old nature, and breathe new life into you. Put your trust in the Lord Jesus Christ, and He will take the stony heart out of your flesh, and He will give you a heart of flesh. Where everything was hard, everything shall be tender; where everything was vicious, everything shall be virtuous: where everything tended downward, everything shall rise upward with impetuous force. The lion of anger... Charles Spurgeon
The poetic impulse is distinct from ideas about things or feelings about things, though it may use these. It's more like a desire to separate a piece of one's experience & set it up on its own, an isolated object never to trouble you again, at least not for a bit. In the absence of this impulse nothing stirs. Philip Larkin
Stephen Fry quote: "You should give up.' 'Why?' 'For one thing, you'll live..."

for my grief's so great. That no supporter but the huge firm earth. Can hold it up: here I and sorrows sit; Here is my throne, bid kings come bow to it.(Constance, from King John, Act III, scene 1) William Shakespeare
Dwarfs were not a naturally religious species, but in a world where pit props could crack without warning and pockets of fire damp could suddenly explode they'd seen the need for gods as the sort of supernatural equivalent of a hard hat. Besides, when you hit your thumb with an eight-pound hammer it's nice to be able to blaspheme. It takes a very special and strong-minded kind of atheist to jump up and down with their hand clasped under their other armpit and shout, "Oh,... Terry Prachett
If you love Alex now, then love him forever. Make him laugh again, and cherish the time you spend together. Take walks and ride your bikes, curl up on the couch and watch movies beneath a blanket. Make him breakfast, but don't spoil him. Let him make breakfast for you as well, so he can show you he thinks you're special. Kiss him and make love to him and consider yourself lucky for having met him, for he's the kind of man who'll prove you right. Nicholas Sparks
J. M. Coetzee quote: "You are going to end up as one of those sad old men who poke..."
