“Consider these people, then, their way of life, their habits, their manners, the very tones of their voice; look at them attentively; observe the literature they read, the things which give them pleasure, the words which come forth out of their mouths, the thoughts which make the furniture of their minds; would any amount of wealth be worth having with the condition that one was to become just like these people by having it?” PeopleWayGivingMindLooksLiteratureVoiceWealthPleasureConditionsAmountHabitMouthsMannersToneFurniture Book:Arnold: 'Culture and Anarchy' and Other Writings Source: Arnold: 'Culture and Anarchy' and Other Writings
“We need to remember to teach our children that solitude can be a much-to-be-desired condition. Not only is it acceptable to be alone; at times it is positively to be wished for.....In the silence we listen to ourselves. Then we ask questions of ourselves. We describe ourselves to ourselves, and in the quietude we may even hear the voice of God.” NeedsMayChildrenRememberAsksVoiceSilenceTeachConditionsSolitudeOur ChildrenAcceptablePositivelyVoice Of God Author:Maya Angelou
“Like his admirer Samuel Beckett, Johnson locates his voices among conditions of such deprivation that even the most miserable memories are gilded by comparison: this paradox fuels equal parts of comedy and pathos. Never sentimental, at once corrosive and elegiac, House Mother Normal is a remarkable achievement.” MotherHouseVoiceMemoriesComedyConditionsEqualNormalAchievementMiserableFuelRemarkableComparisonParadoxSentimentalJohnsonDeprivationAdmirerPathosBeckettGilded Author:James Marcus

“We must see the face of the Lord .... There are things that God says to me that I know must take place. It doesn't matter what people say. I have been face to face with some of the most trying moments of men's lives when it meant so much to me if I kept the vision, and if I held fast to that which God had said. A man must be in an immovable condition. The voice of God must mean to him more than what he sees, feels, or what people say.” PeopleIfsKnowsMenFeelsTryingMeanHas BeensSaidMatterMomentsFacesVoiceVisionLordConditionsFace To FaceVoice Of God Author:Smith Wigglesworth
“A man or a woman is said to be absorbed when the water has total control of him, and he no control of the water. A swimmer moves around willfully. An absorbed being has no will but the water's going. Any word or act is not really personal, but the way the water has of speaking or doing. As when you hear a voice coming out of a wall, and you know that it's not the wall talking, but someone inside, or perhaps someone outside echoing off the wall. Saints are like that. They've achieved the condition of a wall, or a door.” KnowsMenWaySaidMovingVoiceWaterTalkingDoorsConditionsWallSaintComing OutSwimmerOff The Wall Author:Rumi
