To let God make us, instead of painfully trying to make ourselves; to follow the path that his love shows us, instead of through conceit or cowardice or mockery choosing another; to trust Him for our strength and fitness as the flowers do, simply giving ourselves back to Him in grateful service,—this is to keep the laws that give us the freedom of the city in which there is no longer any night of bewilderment or ignorance or uncertainty.

The only interesting answers are those which destroy the questions. Susan Sontag
By the time a person has achieved years adequate for choosing a direction, the die is cast and the moment has long since passed which determined the future. Zelda Fitzgerald
If you looked down to the bottom of my soul, you would understand fully the source of my longing and? pity me. Even the open, transparent lake has its unknown depths, which no divers know. Hans Christian Andersen
Helen Keller quote: "So much has been given to me I have not time to ponder over..."
So much has been given to me I have not time to ponder over that which has been denied. Helen Keller
A man only begins to be a man when he ceases to whine and revile, and commences to search for the hidden justice which regulates his life. And he adapts his mind to that regulating factor, he ceases to accuse others as the cause of his condition, and builds himself up in strong and noble thoughts; ceases to kick against circumstances, but begins to use them as aids to his more rapid progress, and as a means of the hidden powers and possibilities within himself. James Allen
Why shouldst thou not take even as much pleasure in beholding a counterfeit stone, which thine eye cannot discern from a right stone? Thomas More
William Shakespeare quote: "I'll follow you and make a heaven out of hell, and I'll die by..."
I'll follow you and make a heaven out of hell, and I'll die by your hand, which I love so well. William Shakespeare
A religion is a system of symbols which acts to establish powerful, pervasive, and long-lasting moods in men by formulating conceptions of a general order of existence and clothing those conceptions with such an aura of factuality that the moods and motivations seem uniquely realistic.
