“How could poetry and literature have arisen from something as plebian as the cuneiform equivalent of grocery-store bar codes? I prefer the version in which Prometheus brought writing to man from the gods. But then I remind myself that...we should not be too fastidious about where great ideas come from. Ultimately, they all come from a wrinkled organ that at its healthiest has the color and consistency of toothpaste, and in the end only withers and dies.” MenShouldWritingIdeasEndsDiesLiteratureColorStoresBarsVersionsCodeOrgansConsistencyGroceriesGreat IdeaGrocery StoresToothpastePrometheusFastidiousCuneiform Author:Alice Weaver Flaherty
“Prayers prayed in the Spirit never die until they accomplish God's intended purpose. His answer may not be what we expected, or when we expected it, but God often provides much more abundantly than we could think or ask. He interprets our intent and either answers or stores up our prayers. Sincere prayers are never lost. Energy, time, love, and longing can be endowments that will never be wasted or go unrewarded.” ThinkingMaySpiritPurposeDiesAsksEnergyLostPrayerAnswersLongingAccomplishExpectedStoresSincereOur PrayersTime LoveEndowmentSincere Prayer Author:Wesley L Duewel
“They are born, put in a box; they go home to live in a box; they study by ticking boxes; they go to what is called "work" in a box, where they sit in their cubicle box; they drive to the grocery store in a box to buy food in a box; they talk about thinking "outside the box"; and when they die they are put in a box.” PeopleThinkingLifeHumansHomeFunnyDiesBornStudyHumorousBoxesStoresLive LifeScholarGroceriesGrocery StoresEssayistsOutside The BoxThink Outside The BoxCubicles Book:The Bed of Procrustes: Philosophical and Practical Aphorisms Source: The Bed of Procrustes: Philosophical and Practical Aphorisms
