Ally Condie quote #403 from First Day

Isnt it funny how the memories you cherish before a breakup can become your worst enemies afterwards The thoughts you loved to think about the memories you wanted to hold up to the light and view from every angle--it suddenly seems a lot safer to lock them in a box far from the light of day and throw away the key. Its not an act of bitterness. Its an act if self-preservation. Its not always a bad idea to stay behind the window and look out at life instead is it

Naomi Janowitz quote #102 from Magic in the Roman World: Pagans

It is possible to induce incorrect notions of cause and effect in most people in just a few minutes. All that is necessary is to expose them to rewards which they believe they are generating based on their actions when in fact the rewards are randomly awarded. People will latch onto any seeming success and repeat it even when they have to explain repeated failures as well. It appears practically impossible or at least very rare for humans not to be influenced by immediate experiences of concrete results. This is true even if the experiences turn out to have limited theoretical validity. The moment of surprise is not when people repeat alchemical failures but when they begin to do something else.

Terry Pratchett quote #255 from Small Gods

People said there had to be a Supreme Being because otherwise how could the universe exist ehAnd of course there clearly had to be said Koomi a Supreme Being. But since the universe was a bit of a mess it was obvious that the Supreme Being hadnt in fact made it. If he had made it he would being Supreme have made a better job of it with far better thought given taking an example at random to things like the design of the common nostril. Or to put it another way the existence of a badly put-together watch proved the existence of a blind watchmaker. You only had to look around to see that there was room for improvement practically everywhere. This suggested that the Universe had probably been put together in a bit of a rush by an underling while the Supreme Being wasnt looking in the same way that Boy Scouts Association minutes are done on office photocopiers all over the country.So reasoned Koomi it was not a good idea to address any prayers to a Supreme Being. It would only attract his attention and might cause trouble.

Misty Edwards famous quote #80

I want to be a woman who lives totally abandoned to the first commandment to love my Lord my God with all my heart. I dont want the reputation that I love God I dont want to write songs about loving God I dont want to talk about loving God. I want to actually love God. When I close my eyes I want my heart to move. When I close my eyes and I look at Him I want to feel alive on the inside. I want to look at Him with a fire in my heart and its real.
