“Growing up, I can remember singing along with my ma all of the time. I wouldn't say she necessarily 'taught' me how to sing, but she was definitely the first person to inspire me to sing and the first to intrigue me vocally. I've always had a natural ear for music, though.” FirstsPersonsI CanRememberNaturalGrowing UpGrowingInspireTaughtSingingEarsIntrigueFirst Person Author:Elliott Yamin
“Right now in my life I spend much time dreaming over my visions of faith. I know this works. I would be a fool to ignore it. Remember, one of the mightiest keys in the Kingdom of Heaven is faith. Vision is a major part of faith, for we walk by faith and not by sight. Faith is directly contrasted to natural eye sight.” KnowsDreamWould BeEyeRememberHeavenNaturalWalksVisionKeysFoolRight NowMajorsSightKingdomsKingdom Of HeavenWalk By Faith Author:Phil Pringle
“I have been moving around all my life. Going to different schools, living in different houses, shedding old roles, assuming new ones. This way of life is as natural to me as staying in one place is for other people. I do variations on the theme. I return to places where I used to be. I find my old personas. I try them on. If they still fit, I wear them out to a party or a show. If they begin to restrict my movements, I take them off. I am a human being, capable of mimicking anything I see or remember or can imagine.” PeopleIfsWayTryingHumansHas BeensStillsDifferentShowsSchoolRememberMovingLife IsUsedHouseNaturalHuman BeingsPartyRolesImagineMovementIdentityReturnFitCapableAssumingUsed To BeThemeStayingVariationPersonaMimicking Book:Falling Through Space Source: Falling Through Space
“When quite young I can remember I had no thought or wish of surpassing others. I was rather taken with a liking of little arts and bits of learning. My mother carefully fostered a liking for botany, giving me a small microscope and many books, which I yet have. Strange as it may seem, I now believe that botany and the natural system, by exercising discrimination of kinds, is the best of logical exercises. What I may do in logic is perhaps derived from that early attention to botany.” GivingBelieveKindMayLittlesArtI CanBookSeemsRememberYoungMotherWishBitsNaturalAttentionTakenStrangeExerciseLogicDiscriminationLogicalMicroscopesSurpassingBotany Author:William Stanley Jevons
“True feminine beauty is not a complicated formula involving hundreds of rules to remember. It is not something that requires spending two years at finishing school or being groomed as a beauty pageant queen. It is the natural byproduct of a young woman who has emptied herself, given up her own life, and allowed God's Spirit complete access to every dimension of her inner and outer life.” YearsTwoSchoolRememberYoungSpiritGivenNaturalComplicatedSpendingAccessQueensDimensionsTwo YearsFeminineFormulasYoung WomenGiven UpFinishingInvolvingPageantFeminine BeautyFinishing SchoolBeauty Pageant Book:The Lost Art of True Beauty: The Set-Apart Girl's Guide to Feminine Grace Source: The Lost Art of True Beauty: The Set-Apart Girl's Guide to Feminine Grace
“Forgiving presupposes remembering. And it creates a forgetting not in the natural way we forget yesterday's weather, but in the way of the great "in spite of" that says: I forget although I remember. Without this kind of forgetting no human relationship can endure healthily. I don't refer to a solemn act of asking for and offering forgiveness. Such rituals as sometimes occur between parents and children, or friends, or man and wife, are often acts of moral arrogance on the one part and enforced humiliation on the other. But I speak of the lasting willingness to accept him who has hurt us.” MenWayHumansKindChildrenSometimesRememberSpeakParentNaturalHurtForgetAcceptingMoralWifeForgivenessAskingForgivingEndureYesterdayWeatherArroganceSpiteLastingWillingnessRitualOfferingHumiliationSolemnHuman RelationsHuman RelationshipsChildren And Parents Author:Paul Tillich
“I take editing seriously. It's a joy to edit. I always hand a manuscript to several editors and can't wait to get back their notes and see what they've said. I don't criticize myself for making blunders here and there, because it's just natural. You write in chunks, and you may not remember that that sentence you wrote yesterday had the same word repeated three times. I do enjoy that. I love the feeling of repairing.

“It was a natural thing for me to go become a musician, and then to start writing music. I don't even really remember making a decision to go into music, it was just there for me, always.
