“To better understand God we must first shatter our own idea of God - maybe even day after day. Maybe he's too great to stay compressed in the human mind. Maybe he splits it wide open; this is why pretentious intellectualism so often fails to comprehend the concept of God: it is only accepting of what it can explain while in the process finding higher sources offensive. What we may confidently assert is that faith is the opening that allows God, this unpredictable, unseen power, to travel in and out of the mind without all the pains of confusion.” MindFirstsHumansMayIdeasPainProcessAcceptingFailingSourceHigherFindingsConceptsWideOpeningConfusionHuman MindSplitsOffensiveUnseenUnpredictablePretentiousIntellectualism Author:Criss Jami

“In romantic comedies there's a certain ceiling and a floor that you can't necessarily love as hard, or hate as hard, or have as much pain, because you sink the shop of the romantic comedy. But in a certain drama, like some of the ones I've been doing, the ceiling and the floor was my own. And in many ways, that was a higher ceiling and a lower floor, so that was more of a band-with for those emotions.” WayHardPainCertainHateMy OwnEmotionComedyHigherDramaBandShopsCeilings Author:Matthew McConaughey
“I would want people to take away this idea that sometimes people's problems or neuroses are really the things that are kind of a blessing in disguise, and even though there's sometimes pain associated with these things that sometimes in the face of adversity with obstacles to overcome, people can really kind of soar and find their higher selves.” PeopleWantKindIdeasSelfSometimesProblemPainFacesHigherBlessingOvercomingAdversityObstaclesDisguiseSoarNeurosisHigher SelfBlessings In DisguiseFacing Adversity Author:Tony Shalhoub
“When there is pain, the animal instinct is 'fight or flight' (i.e., to either strike back or run away) - reflect instead.

“Every one of us knows how painful it is to be called by malicious names, to have his character undermined by false insinuations, to be overreached in a bargain, to be neglected by those who rise in life, to be thrust on one side by those who have stronger wills and stouter hearts. Every one knows, also, the pleasure of receiving a kind look, a warm greeting, a hand held out to help in distress, a difficulty solved, a higher hope revealed for this world or the next. By that pain and by that pleasure let us judge what we should do to others.” KnowsWorldShouldLooksHeartKindCharacterHelpingHandsPainNextNamesSidesPleasureKindnessKnow HowThis WorldJudgingHigherDifficultyStrongerPainfulWarmReceivingDistressNeglectedThrustBargainsGreetingsMalicious Author:Arthur Penrhyn Stanley
