“The tragedy is that many of us are living desperate Christian life. Sunday comes and we get some strength, and then we lose some on Monday; a good deal is gone by Tuesday and we wonder whether we have anything left. On Wednesday it has all gone and then we exist. Or perhaps refreshment comes in some other way, some meeting we attend, some friends we meet. Now that is the old order of things, that is not the new. He puts a well within us. We are not always drawing from somewhere outside. The well, the spring, goes on springing up from within into everlasting life.” WayWellsChristianOrderLeftLosesDealsWonderGoneGoes OnSpringTragedyMeetingsDrawingChristian LifeDesperateSundayMondayEverlastingTuesdayWednesdayRefreshmentsEverlasting Life Author:Martyn
“All tragedies deal with fated meetings; how else could there be a play? Fate deals its stroke; sorrow is purged, or turned to rejoicing; there is death, or triumph; there has been a meeting, and a change. No one will ever make a tragedy - and that is as well, for one could not bear it - whose grief is that the principals never met.” WellsHas BeensPlayDealsGriefFateBearsSorrowMetsTragedyMeetingsTriumphRejoicePrincipalStrokes Book:The Mask of Apollo Source: The Mask of Apollo
“When I first found out I had HIV, I had to find somebody who was living with it, who could help me understand my journey and what I was going to have to deal with day-to-day. I found out that a person named Elizabeth Frazier was living with AIDS at the time, and so I called her up, and she took a meeting with me.” FirstsPersonsHelpingFoundDealsJourneyMeetingsAidsHelp MeDay To DayHivMy JourneyHiv AidsAids Day Author:Magic Johnson
“For a man it's like if something goes on on-stage you'll have a drink at the bar and talk about it.

“Coming up with lectures is a huge amount of work. I was willing to do one lecture for Gresham because I was honored to have been invited, but to create lectures for a class would probably require that I shut down everything else and concentrate on lectures for a couple of years. Then there would be many, many other skills that I'd have to learn, such as how to sit through a faculty meeting, how to deal with students, etc. It is really not in the cards for me. It's not who I am or what I do. I'm a novelist.” YearsHas BeensWould BeDealsClassStudentsWillingHugeAmountCoupleSkillsMeetingsWho I AmCardsNovelistsEtcFacultyHonoredInvitedLectures Author:Neal Stephenson
