“Our hearts are continuously rebellious. Every time we sin in thought, word, or deed, we're essentially saying in that moment that, "I don't need you God. I don't want you God. I like my way better than your way." If this goes on day after day after day, year after year, month after month, it would understandable for God to say, "I've given you ten trillion tries. You're finished." But it's not. So in that sense, His grace is always surprising, never ceases to be amazing and His mercy is remarkably outrageous.” IfsWayWantNeedsTryingYearsHeartMomentsGivenSinGraceMonthsGoes OnTenMercyDeedsFinishedCeaseMy WayThat MomentSurprisingNeed YouRebelliousOutrageousDon't Need YouI Don't Need You Author:Tullian Tchividjian
“Every human being is tried this way in the active service of expectancy. Now comes the fulfillment and relieves him, but soon he is again placed on reconnaissance for expectancy; then he is again relieved, but as long as there is any future for him, he has not yet finished his service. And while human life goes on this way in very diverse expectancy, expecting very different things according to different times and occasions and in different frames of mind, all life is again one nightwatch of expectancy.” WayMindHumansLongDifferentLife IsHuman BeingsGoes OnActiveFinishedOccasionsHuman LifeFulfillmentDifferent ThingsExpectingDiverseRelievedDifferent TimesLife Goes OnFrame Of MindExpectancy Author:Soren Kierkegaard

“We [psychonauts] are all going to go into the books as pioneers, because it's too early for us to be anything else.

That's why it's so important to try and share [our stories].” TryingImportantBookStoriesStuffShareCrazyGoes OnFinishedMapsPioneersAnecdotesDatabases Author:Terence McKenna

“You need to realise that, if you want to go on, you have to work hard. If you dwell too much on your past successes and say "well, I have won nine world titles and more than 100 races", you'd rather stay home. The sport, your rivals, the tyres, your motorcycle, everything changes so instead you need to work more to be stronger. If you don't, you're finished.” IfsWorldWantNeedsWellsHardHomePastSportsRaceToo MuchHard WorkGoes OnStrongerFinishedNineTitlesRealisingOur PastThings ChangeRivalsYour PastMotorcyclePast SuccessTyres Author:Valentino Rossi
“But I must go on," said the Lady Amalthea, "for it is never finished. Even when I wake, I cannot tell what is real, and what I am dreaming as I move and speak and eat my dinner. I remember what cannot have happened, and forget something that is happening to me know. People look at me as though I should know them, and I do know them in the dream, and always the fire draws me nearer, though I am awake—” PeopleKnowsShouldLooksSaidRealDreamRememberMovingSpeakForgetFireHappenedGoes OnDrawsHappeningsDinnerFinishedAwakeLook At Me Author:Peter S.
