Life

Life is a great surprise. I do not see why death should not be an even greater one.

Man is a marble piece; unlike Michelangelo's masterpieces, man is unconsciously carved and imperfectly shaped by the nature!

Don't take giant leap to make your life better. Just enjoy every minute of your life.

Finding out how the rest of the world lives is a normal part of rumschpringe. I didn't think it was up to my father-or my bishop-to squash that kind of curiosity.

He was terrified by the sublime horror of it, for intensity of feeling, carried to this degree, is sublime. ('A Woman's Vengeance').

I think sometimes when it comes to sports, and especially relationships between players and coaches, that people lose track, lose a sense of reality.

We are all human beings, immigrant or non-immigrant. We all feel fear. We all love and become confused when we don't act as well as we would like to. We all get depressed and have feelings of uselessness. All of these things are true and have always been true.

... People with great passions, people who accomplish great deeds, people who possess strong feelings, even people with great minds and a strong personality, rarely come out of good little boys and girls.

IT is only when we are no longer in control--because of sickness, death, or our own bad choices--that we no longer cling. The path to salvation is the path of humiliation.

Life is a mystery to be experienced, not solved.

I crave the sweet surrender of sleep and my dreams' uncensored communication: no tiresome small talk, sucking up to impress, or tiptoeing around charged topics. Dreams are the naked truth; get ready for it.

Christ,' he said to the tiny reflection of himself that floated along the surface of his coffee,'You have become quite the maudlin sop, haven't you? Laughing softly, he rubbed a hand over his face. Step one on the road back to sanity, stop talking to yourself.

Art Is One if Life's Richest Offerings. For those who have not the talent to create, there is appreciation.

The only way to enjoy anything in this life is to earn it first.

When did the future switch from being a promise to being a threat?

How satisfying it is to leave a mark on a blank surface. To make a map of my movement - no matter how temporary.

All this hoping for nothing-or someone-that's maybe hopeless.

It is time to stop standing at the edges of rooms. Hugging the walls. Living in my head. Wishing I had something to say.
