I once listened to an Indian on television say that God was in the wind

and the water, and I wondered at how beautiful that was because

it meant you could swim in Him or have Him brush your face in a breeze.

-Donald Miller, Blue Like Jazz

"Everybody has a secret world
inside of them. All of the people of the world, I mean everybody. No matter how
dull and boring they are on the outside, inside them they’ve all got
unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds. Not just one
world. Hundreds of them. Thousands maybe." -

Neil Gaiman

People think dreams
aren’t real just because they aren’t made of matter,

of particles. Dreams
are real. But they are made of viewpoints,

of images, of memories
and puns and lost hopes.

-Neil Gaiman

Goodnight.

Finally all done with exams, praise! Now onto Christmas...

Every time you hear a bell ring, it means that some angel's just got his wings. Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives. When he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?

-Clarence Oddbody
It's a Wonderful Life

You see, George, you really had a wonderful life. Don't you see what a mistake it would be to throw it away?

-It's a Wonderful Life

Among other things, you'll find that you're not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behavior. You're by no means alone on that score, you'll be excited and stimulated to know. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You'll learn from them - if you want to. Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It's a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn't education. It's history. It's poetry.

-The Catcher in the Rye

"In the depths of winter,
I finally learned
that within me there lay
an invincible summer."
-Albert Camus
