Tose Sayings

The diamond absolutes. I am neither internee nor informer; An inner emigre, grown long-haired And thoughtful; a wood-kerne Escaped from the massacre, Taking protective colouring From bole and bark, feeling Every wind that blows; Who, blowing up these sparks For their meagre heat, have missed The once-in-a-lifetime portent, The comet's pulsing tose.

Obscurantist Sayings

Meanwhile, their [evolutionists] unproven theories will continue to be accepted by the learned and the illiterate alike as absolute truth, and will be defended with a frantic intolerance that has a parallel only in the bigotry of the darkest Middle Ages.

Jettisoning Sayings

We see what we want to see, what we can tolerate seeing, and our partner does the same. Neutralizing each other's complexity affords us a kind of manageable otherness. We narrow down our partner, ignoring or rejecting essential parts when they threaten the established order of our coupledom. We also reduce ourselves, jettisoning large chunks of our personalities in the name of love.

Incrementally Sayings

Where recyling takes place only in response to political pressures and exhortations, it need not meet the test of being incrementally worth its incremental costs.

Hirvela Sayings

Hematite Sayings

Calm down. I'm a demon, Nick. Hematite doesn't like my genetics. It doesn't mean anything other than I have really bad parentage." "Then why am I having flashes of you killing me?" "What'd you eat this morning?" Nick didn't care for that answer. Not one little bit. "I saw it happen. You were choking the life out of me." Caleb rolled his eyes. "Oh yeah. That is definitely a figment of your overactive, over-Hollywood-stimulated imagination. I assure you. I don't kill people that way. Takes too long. I'm not into torture. I prefer a quick death so that I can move on to something more satisfying." Strangely enough, that he believed. Patience wasn't a virtue Caleb practiced. "You sure?" "Dude, look at me. You think I'd have let the demons pound all over me last night so that you could escape if I had any intention of killing you? Really?

Could it have been so simple? John Knox's agenda was far from political. All he wanted were more pastors and elders. This is our agenda. Lord grant true pastors to Thy church!

That Girl That Sayings

If only one person in the world held down a terrified, struggling, screaming little girl, cut off her genitals with a septic blade, and sewed her back up, leaving only a tiny hole for urine and menstrual flow, the only question would be how severely that person should be punished, and whether the death penalty would be a sufficiently severe sanction. But when millions of people do this, instead of the enormity being magnified millions-fold, suddenly it becomes "culture," and thereby magically becomes less, rather than more, horrible, and is even defended by some Western "moral thinkers," including feminists.

Sunni Shia Sayings

There is no military solution to the war in Iraq. Our troops can help suppress the violence, but they cannot solve its root causes. And all the troops in the world won't be able to force Shia, Sunni, and Kurd to sit down at a table, resolve their differences, and forge a lasting peace. In fact, adding more troops will only push this political settlement further and further into the future, as it tells the Iraqis that no matter how much of a mess they make, the American military will always be there to clean it up.

Sad Love Ignore Sayings

I'm still in love with you," he repeated walking closer to me. "I've tried to stop it. I tried to ignore it. I tried to wish it away, but it won't leave. Whenever you're near me, I want you closer. Whenever you laugh, I want the sound to never fade. Whenever you're sad, I want to kiss your tears away. I know all of the reasons that I shouldn't want to be with you. I know that I can never be forgiven for what happened all those years ago, but I also know that I still love you. You're still the fire that keeps me warm when life becomes cold. You're still the voice that keeps the darkness at bay. You're still the reason my heart beats. You're still the air in my lungs. You're still my greatest high. And I am still truly, madly, painfully in love with you. And I don't think I'll ever know how to stop.

When the wind blows here, it is your wind; and when the water gurgles among the rocks, it speaks only to you.

Upon this land you took your first steps, and upon it you swear to take your last. It is always to this place that you feel compelled to return - home.

Love Goes Bad Sayings

The notion of loving oneself has gotten an undeservedly bad rap, which goes something like this: self-love is narcissistic, selfish, self-indulgent, the supreme delusion of a runaway ego looking out for "number one." In fact, just the opposite is true.
