All errour is prejudicial: it is by deceiving himself that man is plunged in misery. He neglected Nature; he understood not her laws; he formed gods of the most preposterous kinds: these became the sole objects of his hope, the creatures of his fear, and he trembled under these visionary deities; under the supposed influence of imaginary beings created by himself; under the terrour inspired by blocks of stone; by logs of wood; by flying fish; or else under the frowns of men, mortal as himself, whom his distempered fancy had elevated above that Nature of which alone he is capable of forming any idea. ↗
At the root of tolerance is the notion that one is permissive, not about one's own beliefs, but about the beliefs of those with whom one disagrees. If you do not know who you are and what you hold to be true, you cannot be tolerant. [Quote found, Apr. 22, 2007, Father Robert A. Sirico, "The Catholic Identity Crisis." National Review (April 17, 2009..Source: The Catholic Resource Centre). ↗
Wide reading is important. You don’t have to like it, but it’s important to grapple with things you don’t understand. I’ve been spending the last six months getting up an hour early to try to understand economics because I need to. I don’t want to be one of these bewildered schmucks. The things that you understand will inform your writing. The bigger your mind, the better your work is going to be. You’re not born with a big mind; you have to build it. If I don’t read for an hour a day, I get ill. ↗
Because of sorrow, my awareness of life's pulse is strongly detectable. It is syncopation while I journey, a lap of ocean in the eyes of every person I meet. This awareness informs the flesh of my stories. Grief has been an odd companion, at first a terror, but now I am all the better having accepted it for its intrinsic worth. ↗

If you love, something let it go free. If it does not come back, you never had it. If it comes back, love it forever ↗
I live to love, I WILL ATTEMPT TO BUILD & STRENGTHEN ANY QUEEN OR GODDESS IF YOU NEED THE PROPER WORDS. I WILL never USE STRONGHOLDS AGAINST THOSE WHO ARE WEAK MENTALLY. PLEASE "LOVE THYSELF" I LOVE THE QUEEN YOU ARE NO MATTER HOW YOU SEE THE QUEEN IN YOU. INSPIRE YOUR OWN HEART NOT FEARING TO FEAR THE REJECTIONS OF ANY PEER OF FALSE TREASURES. PEACE ↗
My daughter, people are only used to seeing the glorified in a story, because a story is only a tiny, tiny piece of a person’s life. Legends, sacred writings, they’re all like that. But I assure you, dear child, every one of those people up there on that wall felt like, thought like, and suffered like you! ↗

Qué trágica tradición la de esa clase de familias que sólo aspiran a un presunto bienestar, que no estimulan otro deseo que el de la avaricia y que no infunden otro reconocimiento que el de la deuda; que no vacilan en coartar la libertad de los hijos, infundiéndoles desde niños el sentido de una responsabilidad estéril. Qué negros contrasentidos, qué falta de generosidad la de tantas gentes que pasan por este mundo no para gozar sus bienes sino para correr en pos de un engaño atroz y para llegar al término de su aliento sin haber conocido un momento de reposo y deleite..., vicisitudes de la miseria, ay, arcanos de la voluntad. ¿Me decía usted algo? ↗
Best way to describe life could be suffering from your past or could just be a moment spend with heart full of satisfaction. ↗
