“I perceived that I was on a little round grain of rock and metal, filmed with water and with air, whirling in sunlight and darkness. And on the skin of that little grain all the swarms of men, generation by generation, had lived in labour and blindness, with intermittent joy and intermittent lucidity of spirit. And all their history, with its folk-wanderings, its empires, its philosophies, its proud sciences, its social revolutions, its increasing hunger for community, was but a flicker in one day of the lives of the stars.” MenLittlesPhilosophyJoySpiritSocialStarsWaterCommunityDarknessGenerationsAirRocksRevolutionProudOne DaySkinsRoundsHungerFolksWanderEmpiresLabourMetalsGrainSunlightBlindnessLight And DarknessLight And DarkFlickerSwarmsLuciditySocial RevolutionOlafIntermittent Book:To the End of Time Source: To the End of Time
“One day I shall write a little book of conduct myself, and I shall call it Social Problems of the Unsociable. And the root problem, beneath a hundred varying manifestions, is How to Escape.

“When I went to my first CMA Fest, I wanted to be an artist, but I was such a fan girl - I still am - and the two people I waited in line to meet were Taylor Swift and Lady Antebellum. Taylor, I haven't gotten to sit and talk with her as much as I hope I get to one day, but even with her just supporting me on her social media has been incredible.” PeopleFirstsHas BeensStillsTwoWantedArtistGirlSocialLinesFansMediaHavensOne DayIncrediblesSocial MediaAntebellum Author:Kelsea Ballerini
“Teenage girls are extremists who see the world in black-and- white terms, missing shades of gray. Life is either marvelous or notworth living. School is either pure torment or is going fantastically. Other people are either great or horrible, and they themselves are wonderful or pathetic failures. One day a girl will refer to herself as "the goddess of social life" and the next day she'll regret that she's the "ultimate in nerdosity.” PeopleWorldSchoolLife IsGirlNextSocialBlackTermWhiteWonderfulMissingRegretOne DayPureUltimateHorribleGrayShadeGoddessBlack And WhiteAdolescenceMarvelousTeenageNext DayTormentPatheticExtremistSocial LifeTeenage GirlShades Of Gray Author:Mary Pipher
“As a moral and social institution, a weekly rest is invaluable. It is a quiet domestic reunion for the bustling sons of toil. It ensures the necessary vacation in those earthly and turbulent anxieties and affections, which would otherwise become inordinate and morbid. It brings around a season of periodical neatness and decency, when the soil of weekly labour is laid aside, and men meet each other amidst the decencies of the sanctuary, and renew their social affections. But above all, a Sabbath (one day of rest in seven) is necessary for man's moral and religious interests.” MenWarSocialInterestReligiousMoralSonOne DayQuietAnxietySeasonsInstitutionsSevenAffectionSoilLabourVacationToilDecencySanctuarySabbathReunionMorbidInvaluableSocial InstitutionsNeatnessDay Of Rest Author:Robert Dabney

“Films, like memories, seem to re-shoot themselves over the years, reflecting our latest needs and obsessions. In many cases they can change completely, and reveal unexpected depths and shallows.
