"Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling around with drink and sex and ambition, when infinite joy is offered to us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mudpies in the slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased." --C.S. Lewis
"Maybe redemption has stories to tell. Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell. Where can you run to escape from yourself? Where ya gonna go? Where ya gonna go? Salvation is here.....I dare you to move, I dare you to move........." --Switchfoot
"Then I ask, Have you ever felt abandoned?
Felt so lost that you were stranded,
Just like all the walls were closin' in,
And you were left inside?
Have you ever felt like your days were numbered?
Stuck under a tree in thunder,
There seems to be no way out,
But there is one when in doubt." --Thousand Foot Krutch
"To what will you look for help if you will not look to that which is stronger than yourself?"
--C.S. Lewis
" God wants us to worship Him. He doesn't need us, for He couldn't be a self-sufficient God and need anything or anybody, but He wants us. When Adam sinned it was not he who cried, 'God, where art thou?' It was God who cried 'Adam, where art thou?' "
--A.W. Tozer
"A girl's heart should be so hidden in Christ that a young man should have to seek Christ's heart to find hers." --Anon.
"Perhaps a lunatic was simply a minority of one."
"For, after all, how do we know that two and two makes four? Or that the force of gravity works? Or that the past in unchangeable? If both the past and the external world exist only in the mind, and if the mind itself is controllable--what then?"
"But if there was hope, it lay in the proles. You had to cling on to that. When you put it into words it sounded reasonable; it was when you looked at the human beings passing you on the pavement that it became an act of faith."
--George Orwell, 1984
"Happiness isn't happiness without a violin-playing goat." --Real Genius
