Text Quotes
Jesus calls us to his rest, and meekness is His method. The meek man cares not at all who is greater than he, for he has long ago decided that the esteem of the world is not worth the effort  (Who Quotes) It doesn't matter who you are, or where you come from, or how much money you've got in your pocket. You have your own destiny and your own life ahead of you  (Who Quotes) The dark was hissing and hot and hard with a jagged bone, a cold brutal bone, and hips packed tight. The dark wasn't just at night. The dark was any time, any place; you open your eyes and the dark is there, right up against you, pressing. You can't see anything and you don't know any names, not who they are or the names for what they do  (Who Quotes) My fashion is part of who I am, and though I was not born with these clothes on, I was born this way  (Who Quotes) What I suddenly understood was that a thank-you note isn't the price you pay for receiving a gift, as so many children think it is, a kind of minimum tribute or toll, but an opportunity to count your blessings. And gratitude isn't what you give in exchange for something; it's what you feel when you are blessed - blessed to have family and friends who care about you, and who want to see you happy. Hence the joy from thanking  (Who Quotes) If our family was an airline, Mom was the hub and we were the spokes. You rarely went anywhere nonstop; you went via Mom, who directed the traffic flow and determined the priorities: which family member was cleared for takeoff or landing. Even my father was not immune to Mom's scheduling, though he was given more leeway than the rest of us  (Who Quotes) ... when you're with someone who is dying, you may need to celebrate the past, live the present, and mourn the future all at the same time  (Who Quotes) Those who seek the deeper Christian life and those who want the riches that are in Christ Jesus the Lord seek no place, no wealth, no things, only Christ  (Who Quotes) A paranoid is someone who knows a little of what's going on. A psychotic is a guy who's just found out what's going on  (Who Quotes) I have no use for people who throw their weight around as celebrities, or for those who fawn over you just because you are famous  (Who Quotes) The cheerful Sabbath bells, wherever heard, strike pleasant on the sense, most like the voice of one, who from the far-off hills proclaims tidings of good to Zion  (Who Quotes) Show respect even to people who don't deserve it, not as a reflection of their character, but as a reflection of yours  (Who Quotes) I'm going to do what I want to do. I'm going to be who I really am. And I'm going to figure out what that is  (Who Quotes) Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty  (Who Quotes) If you ever feel like giving up, just remember there is a little girl watching who wants to be just like you. Don't disappoint her  (Who Quotes) There are people whose souls have just withered, people who are willing to go along with anything evil - anything so as not to be suspected of disagreeing with whoever is in power  (Who Quotes) Like most qualities, cuteness is delineated by what it isn't. Most people aren't cute at all, or if so they quickly outgrow their cuteness... Elegance, grace, delicacy, beauty, and a lack of self-consciousness: a creature who knows he is cute soon isn't  (Who Quotes) There may be people who like centipedes... Personally, I would regard such an individual with deep suspicion. I have just petted my cat: "And how is this good little cat beast?" Now what sort of man or woman or monster would stroke a centipede on his underbelly? "And here is my good big centipede!" If such a man exists, I say kill him without more ado. He is a traitor to the human race  (Who Quotes) There was no way out; not, at least, in this direction. I was like a hamster that had climbed to the top of the ladder in its cage and found there was nowhere to go but down. But surely hamsters knew in their hamster hearts that escape was futile; it was only we humans who were incapable of accepting our own helplessness  (Who Quotes) This is the tragedy and woe of the hour - that we neglect the most important One who could possibly be in our midst - the Holy Spirit of God. Then, in order to make up for His absence, we have to do something to keep up our own spirits  (Who Quotes) The truth is that the man who walked among us was a demonstration, not of unveiled deity, but of perfect humanity  (Who Quotes) Like the eye which sees everything in front of it and never sees itself, faith is occupied with the Object upon which it rests and pays no attention to itself at all. While we are looking at God, we do not see ourselves - blessed riddance. The man who has struggled to purify himself and has had nothing but repeated failures will experience real relief when he stops tinkering with his soul and looks away to the perfect One  (Who Quotes) Just because a person has a title doesn't make him an aristocrat. Some people are great aristocrats who have no other title than the one that nature has bestowed on them, and others like us, who have nothing but titles, are closer to being pariahs than aristocrats  (Who Quotes) At times everything grows misty and dark before my eyes, and I feel that the strength of my whole body is oozing away through my finger tips  (Who Quotes) For this great sickness that is upon us no one person is responsible, and no Christian is wholly free from blame. We have all contributed, directly or indirectly, to this sad state of affairs. We have been too blind to see, or too timid to speak out, or too self-satisfied to desire anything better than the poor average diet with which others appear satisfied  (Who Quotes) For someone like myself in whom the ability to trust others is so cracked and broken that I am wretchedly timid and am forever trying to read the expression on people's faces  (Who Quotes) I am convinced that human life is filled with many pure, happy, serene examples of insincerity, truly splendid of their kind-of people deceiving one another without (strangely enough) any wounds being inflicted, of people who seem unaware even that they are deceiving one another  (Who Quotes) I want to be a more serious-minded Christian, more detached from this world, more ready for heaven than I have ever been in my whole life. I want an ear that is sharp to know the voice of the enemy, whether it comes from religion, politics, or philosophy... I would rather stand and have everybody my enemy than to go along with the crowd to destruction. Do you feel that way?  (Who Quotes) The whole Bible supports the idea. God is speaking. Not God spoke, but God is speaking. He is by His nature continuously articulate. He fills the world with His speaking voice  (Who Quotes) I must go on living. And, though it may be childish of me, I can't go on in simple compliance. From now on I must struggle with the world. I thought that Mother might well be the last of those who can end their lives beautifully and sadly, struggling with no one, neither hating nor betraying anyone. In the world to come there will be no room for such people. The dying are beautiful, but to live, to survive – those things somehow seem hideous and contaminated with blood  (Who Quotes)
