“Souls in heathen darkness lying, where no light has broken through, souls that Jesus bought by dying, whom his soul in travail knew.... Haste, o haste and spread the tidings, let no shore be left untrod, no lost brother's bitter chidings haunt us from the further sod; tell the heathen all the precious truths of God.” SoulLightLyingJesusLostLeftDarknessDyingBrotherBrokenSpreadBitterShoreHasteHeathenTidingsTruth Of GodSodLost Brother Author:Cecil Frances Alexander
“I grew up in the Southwest Bronx. Father an accountant, mother a schoolteacher. Brother was six years older, which explains why I gobbled crystal meth at 12, smoked hashish at 13, and was shooting smack at 17, which explains how I got Hepatitis C, which was the basis of my first book, which was a humor book about dying.” YearsFirstsBookMotherFatherDyingBrotherGrewSixGrew UpBasesShootingCrystalsAccountantsSmackBronxHashishCrystal MethHepatitisHepatitis C Author:Dave Barry
“The scariest time of my life was when I knew my Nana was dying. It was horrible, as there's nothing I could do to stop it. I grew up living with my Mum, brother and Nana (my mum's mum), so it felt like I lost a parent rather than a grandparent. It makes you realise the fragility of life.” LostFeltParentDyingBrotherGrewGrew UpHorribleRealisingMumGrandparentFragilityTime Of My LifeFragility Of Life Author:Nikki Sanderson
“So I came to my Christian faith later in life, and it was because the precepts of Jesus Christ spoke to me in terms of the kind of life that I would want to lead. Jesus Christ dying for my sins spoke to the humility we all have to have as human beings, that we're sinful and we're flawed and we make mistakes, and that we achieve salvation through the grace of God.” ThinkingWantHumansKindChristianJesusUnderstandingTermChristHuman BeingsSinMistakeGraceAchieveDyingHumilityBrotherJesus ChristSalvationMy BrotherMaking MistakesSpokesBrothers And SistersFlawedGrace Of GodChristian FaithKeepersLater In LifeWe Make MistakesSisters Keeper Author:Barack Obama
“Presenting Aschenbach as a composer - based on Mahler - leads to some dreadful scenes (especially those in which Aschenbach is berated by his student), and it surely distorts the character Mann created. Yet, we know that Mann's novella was based on a holiday in Venice he took with his wife and brother, and that while he was there he followed the reports in the German newspapers, describing the dying Mahler's progress as he returned from New York to Vienna.” KnowsCharacterWifeProgressDyingNew YorkStudentsBrotherSceneNewspapersReportsHolidayComposerDescribingVenicePresentingViennaMahler Author:Philip Kitcher
