“We are 'writers,' we are not supposed to be interested in filthy lucre, we are supposed to be starry eyed artistes. ... In Reality Land, we all want to maybe put dinner on the table once in a while, but in Fantasy Land, we are not supposed to be even interested in money because we are so caught up in the emotion of it all. That's an illusion, but people like it and it makes us feel holy or something so we all play along.” PeopleWantFeelsPlayRealityEmotionFantasyLandHolyIllusionTablesCaughtDinnerSupposed To BeCaught UpFilthy Author:Max D.

“To dine, drink champagne, raise a racket and make speeches about the people's consciousness, the people's conscience, freedom andso forth while servants in tails are scurrying around your table, just like serfs, and out in the severe cold on the street await coachmen--this is the same as lying to the holy spirit.” PeopleSpiritLyingConsciousnessStreetsColdDrinkHolySpeechConscienceRaisesTablesSlaveryServantHoly SpiritHypocrisyTailsSevereChampagneRacketDineSerfs Author:Anton Chekhov
“Dear Heavenly Father, I have a friend who stands as close as a brother, a brave soul. I have seen in him the heart of a warrior... He is gallant, loyal, and true, sacrificing his esteem, forfeiting his comfort, even spilling his blood. But, what color is his soul? My friend has a desperate need, and I have seen it. How can I be his accuser, condemning the one who has gladly poured out his blood in my stead? But shall I deny my witness? There is a darkness, a gnawing void behind those eyes of steel... Will you make him a knight, dressed in holy raiment, fit to take a seat at your table?” NeedsHeartSoulEyeFatherBehindsDarknessSacrificeBloodColorBrotherFitHolyComfortMy FriendsTablesBraveDearDenyEsteemWarriorWitnessDesperateSeatsHeavenlyVoidLoyalSteelKnightsHeavenly FatherCondemningGallantSpillingAccusersBrave Souls Author:Bryan Davis
