Stewardesses are still paid so little that in many cases, new hires qualify for food stamps. ↗

We read about the name Jesus was given at his birth; Immanuel, meaning “God with us”. This God wasn’t content with dwelling in fiction, this God wasn’t content living with the seraphim and this God wasn’t content with bulls and goats anymore. This God wanted to dwell with you, with all of your mess, with all of your failures with all the dirtiness that is you; he wanted to sit with you. Here’s the amazing thing, God doesn’t care if you’re a catholic, a Lutheran, Post modern or Emergent; he wants to sit with you. ↗

I remember wearing overcoats, hiding in the bushes outside of Abbey Road Studios, waiting for the traffic to clear. As it did, we would drop our overcoats and run out on to the cross walk and strike our poses. ↗

أوجعتني حينما خلفتني وحيدة ! ألملم شتات تساؤلاتي وأبحث عن رغيف فرح ، تتشبع به مشاعري الذابلة من بعد فقدك أفلت من يميني مودعاً وغادرتني بين طوفان الذبول .. تسألني عنك الأماكن والمقاعد ! تحدثني عن جنونك تلك الوسائد ، ترقب ملامحي كل تلك الوجوه ، كلما توارد إسمك ! خبأت وجهي بين راحتي الصمت ، حتى لا تخذلني أدمعي حينما تكسرني تساؤلاتهم بإفترقتما ؟ ↗

Paris Hilton, that's very interesting what she did. I've never done that. I haven't really sort of ever got into that. As time passes, maybe I should record it and put it in a vault so that when I get a little old don't have the energy I can remember how life used to be. ↗

When one person comes into contact with another, it is not simply coming together of person rather it is the first and the most important phase of coming together of humanity whether it is you and me or you and us or we and you friends. Unless it is engulfed by love and humanity the two qualifies which everybody professes or the eternal qualities essential for creating heaven in this very earth, which however, seems to be the most lacking in the present day traumatic situation of unhappiness, sorrows, woeful conditions, jealousies, hasted, abhorrence and so on, it will be simply wastage of the precious humanity. ↗

I have pretty thick skin, and I think if you're going to be in this business, if you're going to be an actor or a writer, you better have a thick skin. ↗

Our central problem is not sin and guilt, as it is within the monarchical model. For the Spirit model, our central problem is “estrangement,” whose specific meaning of “separated from that to which one belongs” is most appropriate. ... For the monarchical model, sin is primarily disloyalty to the king, seen especially as disobedience to his laws. The metaphors used to express the Spirit model suggest something else. For the metaphor of God as lover, sin is unfaithfulness—that is, sin is going after other lovers. ↗

Over in the UK, the music press can be brutal. They can say wonderful things about you one week, and the next week, you're in the can. ↗

If he's dead, I'll never forgive you." I suddenly felt cold and frail and horrible numb. Jason's reply was so soft that I almost missed it." I wont forgive myself, either. ↗
