“In the original draft I was 27 and Peter was 55 in the script. That's not the same as a guy in his 40s and a dad in the end of his 70s. It's a different point in both our lives.” DifferentEndsGuyComedyOur LivesDadOriginalsScriptsPeter Author:Paul Reiser

“Hereafter we all have to be redeemed. The world is pulling with a thousand strings. We sin because of indifference and negligence and heap new guilt on the old original one.

“I think everybody needs healing. My understanding of human beings is that we were created in the image of God but we are all fallen, and Jesus died for us so that we can be redeemed. Every Christian is in a process of healing in some way. God's original creation was good, and in some ways fallen away from that. And in every area of our life we need to be healed and restored and to become more Christ-like.” ThinkingWayNeedsHumansChristianJesusProcessUnderstandingChristHuman BeingsHealingOur LivesCreationAreasDiedOriginalsFallenHealedGod ImageRedeemedChrist Like Author:Nicky Gumbel
“Wilderness is not a luxury but a necessity of the human spirit, and as vital to our lives as water and good bread.

“But often, in the world’s most crowded streets, But often, in the din of strife, There rises an unspeakable desire After the knowledge of our buried life; A thirst to spend our fire and restless force In tracking out our true, original course; A longing to inquire Into the mystery of this heart which beats So wild, so deep in us—to know Whence our lives come and where they go.” KnowsWorldHeartDesireCoursesForceFireOur LivesMysteryStreetsBeatsOriginalsLongingBuriedThirstStrifeRestlessCrowdedUnspeakableTrackingCrowded Streets Book:Dover Beach and Other Poems Source: Dover Beach and Other Poems

“All our lives we are engaged in preserving our experiences and keeping them fresh by artificially sprinkling the water of memory over them. They have ceased to retain their original smell and fragrance.

“There is in us an instinct for newness, for renewal, for a liberation of creative power. We seek to awaken in ourselves a force which really changes our lives from within. And yet the same instinct tells us that this change is a recovery of that which is deepest, most original, most personal in ourselves. To be born again is not to become somebody else, but to become ourselves.” ForceBornCreativeOur LivesOriginalsInstinctRecoveryLiberationRenewalBorn AgainNewnessCreative Power Book:Choosing to Love the World: On Contemplation Source: Choosing to Love the World: On Contemplation
“The character we exhibit in the latter half of our life need not necessarily be, though it often is, our original character, developed further, dried up, exaggerated, or diminished. It can be its exact opposite, like a suit worn inside out.” NeedsCharacterHalfOur LivesOppositesOriginalsSuitsLatterWornExhibitsExaggeratedOften Is Author:Marcel Proust
