“I definitely prefer things to be dark, I definitely prefer things to not be particularly obvious. I like a lot of mystery in music, and I like it when things don't sound just like what they sound like always. But at the same time I like everything to sound very earnest and honest. So I don't really think that I have a definite stamp, but if people see that, that's awesome.” PeopleIfsThinkingSoundDarkMysteryHonestObviousDefiniteStampsEarnest Author:John Congleton
“There seems to be something poetically that doesn't work or is limiting when you call God 'God' in a poem. When I tried to be honest with myself in my relationship with God, Christ is, on the one hand, completely dark, he's transcendent and unknown. On the other hand, he is completely imminent and completely knowable as Jesus. Our tradition speaks of him in both ways as transcendent but also as a lover who comes to us, and the two word 'Dark One' seem to me to contain both things, the transcendence and otherness of Christ, but also like a kind of dark lover who comes to us.” WayKindTwoHandsSeemsJesusSpeakChristDarkHonestLoversTraditionBeing HonestTranscendenceTranscendentRelationship With GodOtherness Author:Kevin Hart
“There is a great deal we never think of calling religion that is still fruit unto God, and garnered by Him in the harvest. The fruits of the Spirit are love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, patience, goodness. I affirm that if these fruits are found in any form, whether you show your patience as a woman nursing a fretful child, or as a man attending to the vexing detail of a business, or as a physician following the dark mazes of sickness, or as a mechanic fitting the joints and valves of a locomotive; being honest true besides, you bring forth truth unto God.” IfsThinkingMenChildrenLongStillsShowsFormJoySpiritReligionSufferingFoundDarkDealsHonestCallingGoodnessFruitDetailsFollowingBeing HonestSicknessPhysiciansHarvestMechanicGentlenessJointsNursingFittingAttendingMazesLong SufferingValveLocomotivesFruits Of The Spirit Author:Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton

“I feel that writers think with their noses to the ground, and the dark stuff kind of comes to me more, even though I really am sort of an upbeat guy. It's an honest descent into darkness.
