“At times the truth shines so brilliantly that we perceive it as clear as day. Our nature and habit then draw a veil over our perception, and we return to a darkness almost as dense as before. We are like those who, though beholding frequent flashes of lightning, still find themselves in the thickest darkness of the night.” StillsNightDarknessClearReturnHabitPerceptionDrawsShiningPerceiveFlashLightningVeilsDense Book:Guide for the perplexed Source: Guide for the perplexed
“Yes, God loves you this very day and always. He is not waiting to love you until you have overcome your weaknesses and bad habits. He loves you today with a full understanding of your struggles. He is aware that you reach up to Him in heartfelt and hopeful prayer. He knows of the times you have held onto the fading light and believed-even in the midst of growing darkness. He knows of your sufferings. He knows of your remorse for the times you have fallen short or failed. And still He loves you.” KnowsStillsLightTodaySufferingWaitingUnderstandingPrayerDarknessStruggleGrowingLove YouHabitWeaknessOvercomingGod LoveFallenHopefulMidstRemorseHeartfeltBad HabitsFadingGod Loves YouFading Light Author:Dieter F.

“Now that physics is proving the intelligence of the universe what are we to do about the stupidity of mankind? I include myself. I know that the earth is not flat but my feet are. I know that space is curved but my brain has been condoned by habit to grow in a straight line. What I call light is my own blend of darkness. What I call a view is my hand-painted trompe-l'oeil. I run after knowledge like a ferret down a ferret hole. My limitations, I call the boundaries of what can be known. I interpret the world by confusing other people's psychology with my own.” PeopleKnowsWorldHas BeensHandsLightRunningEarthUniverseGrowsLinesMy OwnSpaceViewsBrainKnownDarknessPsychologyFeetMankindHabitProveStupidityPhysicsBoundariesHolesLimitationFlatsConfusingStraight LinesFerrets Author:Jeanette Winterson
“What Corrigan wanted was a fully believable God, one you could find in the grime of the everyday... He consoled himself with the fact that, in the real world, when he looked closely into the darkness he might find the presence of a light, damaged and bruised, but a little light all the same. He wanted, quite simply, for the world to be a better place, and he was in the habit of hoping for it.” WorldLittlesRealFactsLightMightWantedDarknessHabitEverydayReal WorldBetter PlaceBelievableBruisedGrime Author:Colum McCann
“You had to live - did live, from habit that became instinct - in the assumption that evey sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every moment scrutinized.” MadeMomentsSoundDarknessHabitInstinctAssumptionGuessworkThought Police Author:George Orwell
