“The kenosis of the Son reveals the mystery of God who is Love. This gift of life is an extension of a mysterious exchange at the heart of the Deity. In God himself the One does not exclude the Other, it includes it. The Unity of God is so complete, so rich, that it is not solitude enclosed in itself, but rather the fullness of communion. And thereby, the source of all communion.” HeartDoeLife IsRichMysterySonSourceSolitudeUnityMysteriousCommunionExtensionsDeitiesFullnessGifts Of LifeMystery Of God Author:Olivier Clement
“These are illusions of popular history which successful religion must promote: Evil men never prosper; only the brave deserve the fair; honesty is the best policy; actions speak louder than words; virtue always triumpths; a good deed is its own rewards; any bad human can be reformed; religious talismans protect one from demon possession; only females understand the ancient mysteries; the rich are doomed to unhappiness” MenHumansActionEvilSpeakReligiousVirtueSuccessfulRichMysteryHonestyPolicyProtectIllusionDeserveFemaleFairsBraveRewardsAncientDeedsPossessionDemonUnhappinessDoomedGood DeedsEvil ManActions Speak Louder Than WordsHonesty Is The Best PolicyTalismansActions Speak Louder Book:Children of Dune Source: Children of Dune

“I try to write about complex issues--young people in an adult world-- full of irony and contradiction in a narrative style that relies heavily on suspense with a texture rich in emotion and imagery. I take a great deal of satisfaction in using popular forms-- the adventure, the mystery, the thriller-- so as to hold my reader with the sheer pleasure of a good story. At the same time I try to resolve my books with an ambiguity that compels engagement. In short, I want my readers to feel, to think, sometimes to laugh. But most of all I want them to enjoy a good read.” PeopleThinkingWorldWantFeelsWritingTryingBookSometimesStoriesFormYoungEnjoyPleasureDealsEmotionLaughingIssuesRichMysteryStyleAdventureReaderAdultsComplexesSatisfactionSuspenseNarrativeIronyRelyContradictionResolveEngagementSheerImageryAmbiguityTextureGood StoryThrillersGood Reads Author:Avi
“D.H. Lawrence says that myths are "inexhaustible" because they are symbols of heart mysteries. That is, they can't be exhausted - they somehow have embodied some central human mystery (love, loss, being a body in time, who knows which or what?) and thus can be retold infinitely and still be rich. That's part of your saying: it's old, but it's also new. Or: there's nothing "new" in the human heart, but it still matters lots.” KnowsHumansHeartStillsMatterBodyLossRichMysteryMythSymbolsExhaustedHuman HeartNothing NewLove Loss Author:Gregory Orr
“We lay on the ground and kissed. Perhaps you smile. That we only lay on the ground and kissed. You young people can lend your bodies now, play with them, give them as we could not. But remember that you have paid a price: that of a world rich in mystery and delicate emotion. It is not only species of animal that die out. But whole species of feeling. And if you are wise you will never pity the past for what it did not know. But pity yourself for what it did.” PeopleIfsKnowsWorldGivingPlayWholeFeelingsBodyPastRememberYoungDiesAnimalEmotionRichWiseMysteryPaidLaysSpeciesYour BodyPityDelicate Author:John Fowles
