Then, we must be sure we understand what creation and recreation are. According to atheists, the world is accidental. But is that possible? I firmly believe that science can prove and will prove that matter can’t come into existence just of itself or be always there just like that. It is almost inconceivable that matter, if it did not possess any information enabling it to function, would be able to evolve, in some instances, to the point of awareness of itself and the world around. It is almost impossible that matter, or energy, as such, originated just of themselves or always existed.
My philosophy is it’s none of my business what people say of me and think of me. I am what I am, and I do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. And it makes life so much easier.

All names disappear. Children should be taught that in elementary school. But we’re afraid to teach them.
Well, I can understand how you feel. You worked hard, studying for the spelling bee, and I suppose you feel you let everyone down, and you made a fool of yourself and everything. But did you notice something, Charlie Brown?”
“What’s that?”
“The world didn’t come to an end.
I was born Muslim, but for a large part of my life, I wasn’t necessarily raised Muslim. My father always kept everything around us, from Western philosophy to Eastern philosophy.
Love [is] supposed to move mountains, to make the world go round, to be all you need, but it [falls] apart at the deatils. It [can’t] save a single person.
I came upon the links between a simple midday meal and the complex webs of history and geography in which we dwell. I learned the ways a tomato can evoke the past and an apple can offer hope for the future.

Moral wounds have this peculiarity – they may be hidden, but they never close; always painful, always ready to bleed when touched, they remain fresh and open in the heart.

If you live long enough, you’ll make mistakes. But if you learn from them, you’ll be a better person. It’s how you handle adversity, not how it affects you. The main thing is never quit, never quit, never quit.
Death has his favorites, like anyone. Those who are beloved of Death will not die.
They would grow old together measuring time by the life spans of a succession of speckled bird dogs.
I think choosing between men and women is like choosing between cake and ice cream. You’d be daft not to try both when there are so many different flavors.
Angels and Airwaves is a complete, pure reflection of who I am. The philosophy, the spiritualism, the esotericism, the idea of hope and space and the themes about life and grandeur… that’s all me.
What a waste.. All those people saying all those wonderful things, and Irv never got to hear any of it.
Yet he refused to be depressed. Instead, Morrie had become a lightning rod of ideas.

I don’t believe in astrology; I’m a Sagittarius and we’re skeptical.
Time, we like to say, cures all. But maybe the old saying doesn’t mean time heals. Time cures a secret in its brine, keeping it and finally, paradoxically, destroying it. Nothing is left in that salt solution but the pain or rage, the biting shame that lodged it there. Even they are diluted or denied.
I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.
Three seconds. A whole world turning in three-second life-units that build upon themselves to form a truly wondrous twenty-four-hour miracle that we so insufficiently call ‘Wednesday’.

If you do something foolish or painful today, you get irritated if somebody mentions it, today. If it happened yesterday, though, you can nod or chuckle, as the case may be. You’ve crossed through nothingness or dream to another island in Time.
But when ye come, and all the flowers are dying,If I am dead, as dead I well may be,You’ll come and find the place where I am lying,And kneel and say Ave there for me,And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me,And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be,For you will bend and tell me that you love me,And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me
One day you will kiss a man you can’t breathe without, and find that breath is of little consequence.
Our lives are made up of an endless series of moments, each one slipping away into the past as the next unfolds before us. However, amidst all these complexities, there is a deeper mystery – a divine truth that transcends our understanding.
You were made by God and for God and until you understand that, life will never make sense.
Mithorden said it well, she said finally. It’s worshipping death. They say they follow light. But, in the end, they’re really following desolation, division, the end of things. You should hear their prophecies — war, destruction, only special chosen people are spared. She felt sad and angry. Worse, she wondered to what ends people who believed these things would go to assert their views.
Song after Battle:As the young men went by I was looking for him. It surprises me anew That he has gone. It is something To which I cannot be reconciled.Owls hoot at me. Owls hoot at me. That is what I hear In my life. Wolves howl at me. Wolves howl at me. That is what I hear In my life. -American Indian Songs

Most dreams require the willingness to evolve, and they take a lot of time to manifest. Keep on striving for the best.
Death is fugitive; even when you’re watching for it, the actual instant somehow slips between your fingers. You don’t get that sudden drop of the head you see in movies. Instead you simply sit there, waiting for something to happen, and all at once you realize you’ve missed it.
