We can’t have people who knows of a crime being committing and they have information about it and want to use that information to their advantage or to benefit from it. They use it as their power move, card in their sleeves or as a chess move. We can’t be having people occupying high positions and be in government while they committed crimes and had not been sentenced for the crimes they committed and there are people amongst themselves who know about their crimes and want to expose it the day they are no longer benefiting, getting along, or they want to use it as leverage. Next thing we will be told they are fighting for us when they expose such information. If they are really fighting for us. Why had they let people they know are criminals rule us or serve us.”

“Any cultural project which only takes ten years to complete is easily undone. As an ideology, then, the problem with “Change the world” is that it is too easily accomplished. “Change” is doable over and over again, and new projects of “change” undermine and abolish the changes of a previous generation. Everyone who “changes the world” is undermining or abolishing the change some wide-eyed, well-meaning dreamer undertook just a few years ago. “Change the world” always involves crushing the dream of someone slightly older than yourself who wanted to do the same thing. Thus we reach a paradox: unless a society undertakes a project it cannot hope to accomplish, it will not accomplish anything lasting.”

“Any darkness can be ignited if we believe.”
Source: Starstorm
“Any darkness that comes out in my life is the fruit of my own appetites, and it's my choice either to feed or starve those appetites. I was purposely feeding on music and movies with dark, violent themes and plenty of sexual content. All of that takes root in our thought lives and affects everything we do. It clouds our communication with God and can limit how he uses us. If someone is in a dark place and needs help, we're probably not going to have suitable answers when we're gorging on trash.”
