Willingly Quotes (page 455)

If our prayer is “Dear God, please use me to be of service,” then that is what we will be. And it is not for us to judge either the size or value of our gifts. Our job is to try to get out of the way, to defer to the spirit moving within us and become open channels for the flow of God’s love. Marianne Williamson
Chuck Palahniuk quote: "Do you realize that anything you can do in your lifetime will..."
Do you realize that anything you can do in your lifetime will be meaningless a hundred years from now?" she says. Chuck Palahniuk
The apprenticeship to passivity—I know nothing more contrary to our habits. (The modern age begins with two hysterics: Don Quixote and Luther.) If we make time, produce and elaborate it, we do so out of our repugnance to the hegemony of essence and to the contemplative submission it presupposes. Taoism seems to me wisdom’s first and last word: yet I resist it, my instincts reject it, as they refuse to endure anything—the heredity of revolt is too much for us. Our disease? Centuries of... Emile M. Cioran
David Foster Wallace quote: "The truth will set you free. But not until it's done with you."
The truth will set you free. But not until it's done with you. David Foster Wallace
But success shall crown my endeavours. Wherefore not? Thus far I have gone, tracing a secure way over the pathless seas, the very stars themselves being witnesses and testimonies of my triumph. Why not still proceed over the untamed yet obedient element? What can stop the determined heart and resolved will of man? Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
Beware of faking: people will believe you. People believe those who sell lotions that make lost hair grow back. They sense instinctively that the salesman is putting together truths that don't go together, that he's not being logical, that he's not speaking in good faith. But they've been told that God is mysterious, unfathomable, so to them incoherence is the closest thing to God. The farfetched is the closest thing to miracle. Umberto Eco
Any dedicated moon-watcher will know that, regardless of the year, I have taken a good many liberties with the lunar cycle-usually to take advantage of days (Valentine's, July 4th, etc.) which "mark" certain months in our minds. To those readers who feel that I didn't know any better, I assert that I did ... but the temptation was simply too great to resist. Stephen King
John Fowles quote: "Ask me to marry you."Will you marry me?"No."
Ask me to marry you."Will you marry me?"No. John Fowles
It's only a matter of getting through the next few moments, she thought: take care of the next few moments, and then the next, a few at a time, and after a while it will be easier; you'll get over it, after a while. Ayn Rand
If you have moved over vast territories and dared to love silly things, you will have learned even from the most primitive items collected and put aside in your life. Ray Bradbury
Bill Bryson quote: "In three minutes, 98 percent of all the matter there is or..."
In three minutes, 98 percent of all the matter there is or will ever be has been produced. We have a universe Bill Bryson
As for the end of the universe…I say let it come as it will, in ice, fire, or darkness. What did the universe ever do for me that I should mind its welfare? Stephen King
If I were a dictator, religion and state would be separate. I swear by my religion. I will die for it. But it is my personal affair. The state has nothing to do with it. The state would look after your secular welfare, health, communications, foreign relations, currency and so on, but not your or my religion. That is everybody's personal concern! Mahatma Gandhi
You're too young a man to be panning memories, Adam. You should be getting yourself some new ones, so that the mining will be richer when you come to age. John Steinbeck
C. S. Lewis quote: "Since it is so likely children will meet cruel enemies, let..."
Since it is so likely children will meet cruel enemies, let them at least have heard of brave knights and heroic courage. C. S. Lewis
