Koji mi to rat vodimo, s očitim porazom? Jutro za jutrom, već satrti od svih tih bitaka koje dolaze, vodimo svakidašnji užas tim beskonačnim hodnikom koji će u zadnjim trenucima biti ravan sudbini, jer smo tako dugo išli njime. Da, anđele, to je svakidašnjica: mrzovoljna, prazna i prepuna jada. U njoj krugovi pakla nisu nikakva rijetkost,; jednog dana zaplačeš jer si predugo bio ondje. Iz hodnika u krugove: tako se dogodi pad, bez sudara i bez iznenađenja. Svaki dan, mirimo se s tugom hodnika i, korak po korak, idemo putem svog mračnog prokletstva. ↗

Christ's miracles were not the suspension of the natural order but the restoration of the natural order. They were a reminder of what once was prior to the fall and a preview of what will eventually be a universal reality once again--a world of peace and justice, without death, disease, or conflict. ↗

During the persecutions under the Emperor Domitian, John was summoned to Rome, where he was tortured by immersion in a pot of boiling oil and subsequently banished to the island of Patmos in the Aegean sea. It was there he wrote his Apocalypse. It was only after the death of Domitian, in A.D. 96, that he returned to Ephesus, where he was still living during the reign of the Emperor Trajan (A.D. 98-117). He became so old and frail that he could no longer walk and had to be carried to meetings and services. All he could manage to say was, "My little children, love one another." He repeated this over and over. ↗

In my worst moments, all I had to do was recall the love that I felt emanating from those heavenly lights and I could press on. ↗

We discovered that peace at any price is no peace at all...that life at any price has no value whatever; that life is nothing without the privileges, the prides, the rights, the joys that make it worth living and also worth giving...and that there is something more hideous, more atrocious than war or than death; and that is to live in fear. ↗

យប់នេះ ខ្ញុំនឹងស្លាប់ ។ ដូច្នេះ ខ្ញុំត្រូវរស់ឲ្យបានពេញលេញក្នុងថ្ងៃនេះ ។ Tonight I will die, So I must live fully in today. ↗

When those who name dead people have gone, there just remains the calmness of foreign cemeteries, in which nothing appears familiar and nothing frightens you. ↗

And dying is more natural than living, because what could be more unnatural than that panicstricken thing leaping and falling like a last flame beneath the ribs? ↗

Do you love your country and your king?" Karigan paused. What a curious question. King Zachary was relatively new to the throne and she knew little of his policies or methods, but it wouldn't do to sound disloyal to a dying servant of Sacoridia. "Yes." "I'm a messenger...Green Rider." The young man's body spasmed with pain, and blood dribbled over his lip and down his chin. "The satchel on the saddle...important message for...king. Life or death. If you love Sacor...Sacoridia and its king, take it. Take it to him. ↗

One of my biggest fears is that I'm going to die alone in my home, and my cats will eat me because I am too dead to open their food cans. ↗
