“Let's say there was no terrorism whatsoever and we were all very nice to one another and we were all kind, we still would be faced with an extremely cruel and hostile universe and existence and so I'm a great pessimist and I feel that it's impossible really to be happy, and that the best you can hope for is to be distracted.” FeelsKindStillsWould BeUniverseExistenceNiceImpossibleTerrorismAll KindsHostileDistractedPessimistVery Nice Author:Woody Allen
“No sane person wants hell to exist. No sane person wants evil to exist. But hell is just evil eternalized. If there is evil and if there is eternity, there can be hell. If it is intellectually dishonest to disbelieve in evil just because it is shocking and uncomfortable, it is the same with hell. Reality has hard corners, surprises, and terrible dangers in it. We desperately need a true road map, not nice feelings, if we are to get home. It is true, as people often say, that "hell just feels unreal, impossible." Yes. So does Auschwitz. So does Calvary.” PeopleIfsWantNeedsFeelsPersonsDoeHardFeelingsHomeRealityEvilHellNiceImpossibleDangerTerribleEternitySurpriseCornersUncomfortableMapsSaneShockingUnrealAuschwitzCalvaryRoad MapsNice Feeling Book:Fundamentals of the Faith: Essays in Christian Appologetics Source: Fundamentals of the Faith: Essays in Christian Appologetics

“There is a song of Gainsbourg that Jane Birkin sang, and the words are beautiful in French. It says, "Le jeu et les moi." It's impossible to translate, because it has a very nice sound. It sounds so lovely in French. So I took that because it was the subject: I and myself and myself and I. Which is, in a way, boring, because it is a contradiction.” WayBeautifulSongSoundNiceImpossibleSubjectsBoringLovelyContradictionTranslateJaneVery Nice Author:Agnes Varda
“I mean, my wife is always like - I don't write lyrics. So I couldn't, like, really technically write a song for anyone. I could write a very nice instrumental.
