“Every creature reproduces after its kind. A dog gives birth to dogs, a cat gives birth to cats, a cow gives birth to cows, a monkey reproduces monkeys and a human reproduces humans. So when God gives birth, what do you think He'll reproduce? gods, of course! When God created Man, He created him in His image and after His likeness. That's why we look like Him; we have two hands the same way He has two hands. We have two legs, one head, one mouth, one nose, two ears and two eyes just like Him.” ThinkingMenWayGivingHumansLooksKindTwoHandsEyeCoursesDogBirthCreaturesMouthsCatEarsLegsNosesCowsMonkeysTwo Hands Author:Chris Oyakhilome
“The wrinkled man in the wheelchair with the legs wrapped, the girl with her face punctured deep with the teeth marks of a dog, the mess of the world, and I see - this, all this, is what the French call d'un beau affreux, what the Germans call hubsch-hasslich - the ugly-beautiful. That which is perceived as ugly transfigures into beautiful. What the postimpressionist painter Paul Gauguin expressed as 'Le laid peut etre beau' - The ugly can be beautiful. The dark can give birth to life; suffering can deliver grace.” MenWorldGivingBeautifulFacesSufferingGirlDarkGraceDogBirthMarkUglyLegsTeethPainterMessWheelchairs Author:Ann Voskamp

“Vee is my un-twin. She's green-eyed, milky blond, and a few pounds over curvy. I'm a smoky-eyed brunette with volumes of curly hair that holds its own against even the best flatiron. And I'm all legs, like a bar stool. But there is an invisible thread the ties us together; both of us swear that tie began long before birth. Both of us swear it will continue to hold for the rest of our lives.” LongTogetherOur LivesHairBirthGreenLegsInvisibleBarsTiesPoundsThreadSwearTwinsVolumeStoolsBrunetteCurvyCurly HairInvisible Threads Author:Becca Fitzpatrick
