Quote by Heidi Swain

“Trying to pretend to be someone you're not. It never turns out how you think it will. There's a time limit on pretending. It simply isn't possible to live a lie for long.”

“Let me take a little second to tell you as we see a prophecy that came true You see we need to believe that He literally bled through The clothes on His back His sweat the day was just like crimson rain Crimson stains tide bounty and the devil can't wash these stains away Who's He you ask, He's a friend of me Cause my inability He was sent for me I hear birds and trees they're all telling me It's a good thing He won Gethsemane Cause this enemy is too much for me And this flesh and world is triple teaming me It seems to be the very end I scream please oh please pass this cup from me! The thing is it did pass And it passes every day He took my cup from me and gracefully He drank the grave And I don't mean to speak of blasphemy when I say But I am speaking of the day when my God passed away, Okay? No wait wait wait no that's not it no that's not all I don't wanna leave you hanging This stories banging Against my throat and against these walls It can't be contained no it won't stay in here it will thrive Cause stories just don't die when the dead come alive”

“The more I came to understand Williams syndrome and to meet a wide range of people who had it, the more I saw that the social impulses that partly defined the disorder weren't so clearly a gift. Their unique combination of gregariousness and guilelessness exposed a paradox in Western culture: we say we like extroverts, but when an extreme extrovert comes barrelling toward us with open arms, we shy away. It's not just warmth or openness that we value; these traits must be coupled with a more sophisticated sense of when to turn them on and off. People with Williams syndrome never turn them off. They have the social drive but not the cognitive ability to use it effectively.”

“Neurobiologists have traced the apparent absence of social fear to abnormalities in the amygdalae of people with Williams. These almond-shaped clusters of neuclei, buried deep in the brain, help process emotions and regulate our fight-or-flight response to danger. In people with Williams, they react more dramatically than normal to images of disasters, such as fires, or plane crashes, which researchers think may explain why people with Williams often develop anxiety disorders. Conversely, they respond with abnormal indifference to images of people making fearful or angry facial expressions. The amygdalae of people without Williams tend to be extremely sensitive to those expressions since we have evolved to see them as warnings. Getting to close to a hostile person, or an aggressive ape, probably cost many of our ancestors their lives. Seeing a look of panic on someone else's face and starting to run probably saved the lives of many more.”

“Dios no nos pide que hagamos nada más tedioso, más cansado, más rutinario y monótono, y menos espectacular que lo que hizo Él mismo. Trabajó para dejar claro que el trabajo más sencillo y menos brillante es –o, en cualquier caso, puede ser, si se ve desde la perspectiva de Dios y de la eternidad– una participación en la obra divina de la creación y la redención, una ocasión diaria para cooperar con Dios en los hechos fundamentales de su alianza de salvación. Con él no solo me ganaba mi salvación, sino la de los demás, al menos a través del ejemplo que pudiera darles. Es más, mis quehaceres, mis penalidades, los podía ofrecer por otros como un acto redentor, y como un medio de reparar y expiar tanto mis pecados del pasado como los suyos.”
