We are to give (and take) true love without falling into the narcissistic habit of only trying to take it in.
If what you create seems to turn out much stranger than who you are as a person, it's probably because your heart is talking.
To me it seems that too many young women of this time share the same creed. 'Live, laugh, love, be nothing but happy, experience everything, et cetera et cetera.' How monotonous, how useless this becomes. What about the honors of Joan of Arc, Beauvoir, Stowe, Xena, Princess Leia, or women that would truly fight for something other than just their own emotions?
The factory of love encompasses all, but on some days, does it seem to be one of suffocation, squeezing its target too tightly? And on other days not tight enough? Or maybe that is the breath of a living love knowing when to protect, when to release, and when to protect again. For we are the products of an active love - the Father the creator, the Son the perfecter, the Spirit the supervisor - but just like in a factory, to deny the process is to ultimately create a defect of oneself.
The most mesmerizing of artists is always like one who was merely drawing in the sand and people came to watch.
Deceit for personal gain is one of history's most recurring crimes. Man's first step towards change would be thinking, counter-arguing, re-thinking, twisting, straightening, perfecting, then believing every original idea he intends to make public before making it public. There is always an angle from which an absolute truth may appear askew just as there is always a personal emotion, or a personal agenda, which alienates the ultimate good of mankind.
Advanced technology does not always promise a more intelligent civilization. On the contrary, the more the common people rely on technology to do their thinking and solving for them, the less practice there is left for their own brains.
Closed in a room, my imagination becomes the universe, and the rest of the world is missing out.
To seek greatness is the only righteous vengeance.
If you're waiting until you feel talented enough to make it, you'll never make it.
Women rescue men just as much as, if not more than, men rescue women.
It is not true that everyone is special. It is true that everyone was once special and still possesses the ability to recover it.
As long as I am breathing, in my eyes, I am just beginning.
Love tames the benumbed beast. A man is put to use regarding a woman's physical safety, but a woman is put to use regarding a man's mental safety.
The love of conflict is most evident when opposing forces join sides to defeat the peacemaker.
The manlier you are, the harder it is to understand what a woman wants: there is not a hint of female brain in you.
In the modern Christian attempt to take a stand as Christ did, and maybe for others, win the approval of the world, the Christian will often think that it consists of targeting and demoralizing fellow Christians and only fellow Christians. It is one thing to stand against religious hypocrisy when one sees it, but it is another to go on snorting at anything or anyone who might seem 'too Christian' to us. The irony is that by doing this we are further advocating hypocrisy and 'half-hearted Christians'.
Envy is a sign of insecurity, yes; but so is longing to be envied.
I will never deny that life isn't fair. It seems as though when a woman leaves a man she is strong and independent, but when a man leaves a woman he is a pig and a jerk.
I believe in evolution in the sense that a short-tempered man is the successor of a crybaby.
I don't pretend to know everything; I just only speak on matters I know I'll win.
Seemingly minor yet persistent things penetrate the mind over time making it difficult to ever realize the impact; hence, though quite unfortunate, the most dangerous forms of corruption are those that are subtle and below the radar.
If the entire world sought to make itself worthy of happiness rather than make itself happy, then the entire world would be happy.
Beyond all sciences, philosophies, theologies, and histories, a child's relentless inquiry is truly all it takes to remind us that we don't know as much as we think we know.
Thoughts are like burning stars, and ideas, they flood, they stretch the universe.
