“Well, I was thinking this very thing. I was thinking: I am going to die today, but Jesu also died, so he knows how it is with me. And I was thinking, would he know me when I came to him? Yes! Sitting in his hall, he will see me sail into the bay, and he will run down to meet me on the shore; he will wade into the sea and pull my boat onto the sand and welcome me as his wayfaring brother. Why will he do this? Because he too has suffered, and he knows...HE KNOWS...Is that not good news?” ThinkingKnowsWellsRunningTodayDiesKnow HowSeaBrotherNewsSittingDiedWelcomeBoatSandHallsShoreKnow MeSailGood NewsWade Author:Stephen R.

“There are things that are more important than the news and what’s happening today. There are these archetypes which are part of the human imagination since humans were presumably imaginative. And I think that’s what [people] find touching, these eternal ideas. It’s one of the things that makes fantasy something that tends to stand the test of time because we’re reading, 50 years later, The Lord of the Rings.” PeopleThinkingYearsHumansImportantIdeasTodayReadingImaginationLordFantasyEternalNewsHappeningsTestsRingsTouchingImaginativeArchetypeHuman ImaginationTest Of Time Author:Clive Barker

“The problems of today's youth were no longer a Sunday supplement, or a news broadcast, or anything so remote and intangible. They were suddenly become a dirty, shivering boy, who told us that in this world we had built for him with our sweat and our blood, he was not only tired of living, but so unscared of dying that he did it daily, sometimes for recreation.” WorldSometimesProblemTodayBoysBloodDyingThis WorldYouthNewsBuiltTiredDirtySundaySweatRecreationSupplementsIntangibleToday's Youth Author:Spider Robinson

“We humans have existed in our present form for about a hundred thousand years. I believe that if during this time the human mind had been primarily controlled by anger and hatred, our overall population would have decreased. But today, despite all our wars, we find that the human population is greater than ever. This clearly indicates to me that love and compassion predominate in the world. And this is why unpleasant events are "news"; compassionate activities are so much a part of daily life that they are taken for granted and , therefore, largely ignored.” IfsWorldYearsMindBelieveHumansWarTodayFormI BelieveCompassionTakenGreaterEventsThousandActivityNewsHundredHatredPopulationDespiteBuddhistGrantedDaily LifeHuman MindControlledCompassionateThousand YearsIgnoredLove And CompassionTaken For GrantedHuman Population Author:Dalai Lama
