“Every year, I might almost say every day, that I live, I seem to see more clearly how all the rest and gladness and power of our Christian life hinges on one thing; and that is, taking God at His word, believing that He really means exactly what He says, and accepting the very words in which He reveals His goodness and grace, without substituting others or altering the precise modes and tenses which He has seen fit to use.” YearsBelieveMeanUseSeemsMightChristianAcceptingGraceOne ThingFitGoodnessChristian LifePreciseReally MeanGladnessHinges Author:Frances Ridley Havergal
“I think some modesty actually serves me by just accepting that I am an instrument. I'm not trying to match up to an ideal as some kind of challenge. It's more like I use the family tree of music and song that I feel has fit me as an encouragement; like it's a bed to rest in rather than a challenge to try to better myself over, to try to.” ThinkingFeelsTryingKindUseSongChallengesAcceptingTreeFitBedIdealsEncouragementInstrumentsModesty Author:Mirah

“For too many of us, it's become safer to retreat into our own bubbles, whether in our neighborhoods or on college campuses, or places of worship or especially our social media feeds, surrounded by people who look like us and share the same political outlook and never challenge our assumptions. And increasingly, we become so secure in our bubbles that we start accepting only information, whether it's true or not, that fits our opinions, instead of basing our opinions on the evidence that is out there.” PeoplePoliticalChallengesAcceptingOpinionShareCollegeFitWorshipEvidenceSocial MediaAssumptionNeighborhoodBubbles Author:Barack Obama
“The thing that bothers me is that it seems like all the sensitive stuff I write just goes unnoticed . . . the media doesn't get who I am at all. Or maybe they just can't accept it. It doesn't fit into those negative stories they like to write. I'm the kind of guy who is moved by a song like Don McLean's "Vincent," that one about Van Gogh. The lyric on that song is so touching. That's how I want to make my songs feel. Take "Dear Mama" - I aimed that one straight for my homies' heartstrings.” WritingKindGuySongAcceptingFitNegativeMovedDearBotherSensitiveTouchingUnnoticed Author:Tupac Shakur
“The role you've been ascribed in childhood can twist or break apart or seem outgrown, especially when you have your own family and begin to see your own childhood from a different angle. You remember. You reassess. I think that was the kernel of the novel for me. This idea that you change but that your family, the people you were born into, might find that change hard to accept. You no longer fit the mold you've always been ascribed. When the adult children in the book converge back on their small family home there's a sense that they don't fit there anymore.” PeopleThinkingChildrenBookDifferentHomeRememberAcceptingBreakNovelChildhoodFitOur Family Author:Maggie O'Farrell
