Consequences Quotes

“Eliza: The problem with YOU is that you don't take the RESPONSIBILITY for anything@ You think you can just run around, doing whatever you want to whoever you want, and that it's going to be fine. That everything is just going to be TAKE CARE of for you, with no consequences. Cooper: No. I don't, and I have had consequences from what happened with me and you. Eliza: Yeah? Like what? Cooper: I lost you, that was my consequence.”

“Liars are highly unlikely to admit their lies, never mind apologize for the hurt they’ve caused. Liars don’t genuinely apologize. Deceit has become their full-out lifestyle. They are centered on themselves with no thoughts of the consequences of their lies. In cowardly style, they tell more lies to try and cover their tracks. They are not good at admitting they actually have shortcomings.”

“I know the consequences of what I’ve done. Kill me if You must. There was a long silence, and I could sense Her softening, that strange affection She shared with me above the others. Do you think I rejoice in death? I raised my head. What? There is no joy for Me in punishing you or in taking lives. I do what I must to survive. And not only would I not delight in your death, I would mourn it. You must know by now how dear you are to Me. I swallowed. Why me? Why do I have Your favor more so than the others? She was so tender with me, lifting me up from the sand as if She were cradling a baby. Considering her timelessness and my temporariness, I practically was a newborn in Her eyes. Throughout My many, many years and all the sirens I’ve carried in My hands, none of them has considered Me as you do. There’s been a detachment, a deliberate isolation between them and Me. But you? You come to Me with a sweetness, an attempt to understand. You come to Me even when you are not called. I feel for you what a mother feels for her daughter. To end your life would be to end Mine. I cried again. I’m so sorry. I never wanted to hurt You.”

“When dreams are new realities, and those dreams are free from oddities, time just stops for every dream, till it is real, or real it seems... When we stop to dream, for a moment, my friend, we just lose ourselves, our dreams we just lend; the consequence of this is clear, we are grown-up children here... When children are forced to grow up in no time, what’s left is for them to grow up in the mind, to rise above everything – all else – a sky, a fruit tree, whose fruit all the people can try... Whenever it rains - the sky, it is crying again, no reason, no sense, like a baby, whose diaper is stained, yet there is one ancient truth you should now know: right after the darkness, Dawn’s face always shows...”

“Integrity, America. You lack integrity. The degree of distance between how we want to see ourselves and how we are is enormous. Integrity. Individually and as a people. We lack integrity. As an individual, I have long known that the only hope for integrity is not only the effort expended to live up to our word, but the willingness to own how and where we have not, and to hold ourselves accountable for the consequences of that.”

“Light brings greater knowledge. Knowledge brings greater understanding. And twelve people discussing something rationally and reasonably, questioning each other, trying to get it right, guarantees greater knowledge and greater understanding... Some say that last Thursday was a sad day for American democracy, but I felt as I did when Watergate came to light, and Nixon resigned. For me it was the act that was sad, that one person was that corrupt and those around him that corruptible. For me, that it came to light and led to consequences is the triumph.”

“Romans 1: 18 - 32 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of Man, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; 19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in Truth; for God hath shown it unto Man. 20 For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godliness; so that Man are without excuse: 21 Because that, when Man knew God, Man relatively glorified his self as God, neither were Man thankful to bein His image; but Man became vain in his philosophies, and Man's foolish heart was shrouded in darkness. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, Man became fools, 23 And changed the glory of the Incorruptible Almighty God into the image like corruptible Man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things. 24 Wherefore God also gave Man up to uncleanness through the agenda of Man's own perceptive heart, to dishonour their own bodies between and amongst themselves: 25 who change the Absolute Truth of God into a relative but absolute lie, and worship and serve the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections outside of His Love: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their desire one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves the full recompense of their error. 28 And even as Man did not like to remember God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a polluted mind, to do those vile and reprehensible things; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, false and hurtful appetites, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, indecisiveness, deceit, malignity; gossip, 30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, braggadocios, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without understanding, oath breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32 Who knowing the full judgment of God upon them for such behaviour care neither to repent nor recant.”
