“Here is an eternal truth. Life cannot be divided into compartments in some which God is involved and in others of which he is not involved... The fact is that God does not need to be invited into certain departments of life, and kept out of others. He is everywhere, all through life and in every activity of life. He hears not only the words that are spoken in his name; he hears all words; and there cannot be any such thing as a form of words which evades bringing God into any transaction. We will regard all promises as sacred if we remember that all promises are made in the presence of God.” IfsNeedsDoeMadeFactsRememberFormCertainNamesInvolvedPromiseActivityEternalRegardSacredDepartmentDividedTruth Of LifeInvitedTransactionsPresence Of God Author:William Barclay
“The soft bonds of love are indifferent to life and death. They hold through time so that yesterday’s love is part of today’s and the confidence in tomorrow’s love is also part of today’s. And when one dies, the memory lives in the other, and is warm and breathing. And when both die - I almost believe, rationalist though I am - that somewhere it remains, indestructible and eternal, enriching all of the universe by the mere fact that once it existed.” BelieveFactsTodayDiesUniverseMemoriesLove IsTomorrowEternalRemainsMereWarmYesterdayBreathingLife And DeathIndifferentRough TimesIndestructibleEnrichingBonds Of Love Book:It's Been a Good Life Source: It's Been a Good Life
“Ah! In fact there are two moralities ... The petty one, the conventional one, the one devised by men, that keeps changing and bellows so loudly, making a commotion down here among us, in a perfectly pedestrian way ... But the other one, the eternal one, is all around and above us, like a landscape that surrounds us and the blue sky that gives us light.” MenWayGivingTwoFactsLightSkyMoralityEternalBlueLandscapeSurroundConventionalPettyBlue SkyPedestrians Book:Madame Bovary: (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition) Source: Madame Bovary: (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition)
“In the eternal lazy morning of the Pacific, days slip away into months, months into years; the seasons are reduced to the faintest nuance by the great central fact of the sunshine; one might pass a lifetime, it seems, between two yawns, lying bronzed and naked in the sand.” YearsTwoFactsSeemsMightLyingMorningMonthsEternalSeasonsLifetimeNakedSandLazySunshineLos AngelesSlipsPacificNuance Author:Christopher Isherwood
