“Let me roughly divide books into those which compete with the movies and those with which the movies cannot compete. They are the books that can elevate or instruct. If they are fine works of fiction, they can deepen your appreciation of human life. If they are serious works of nonfiction, they can inform or enlighten you.” IfsHumansBookFictionSeriousFineLet MeAppreciationHuman LifeDividesNonfictionEnlighteningSerious Work Author:Mortimer Adler
“To feel the suffering and then to know the pain of the unnecessariness of it. That right there has me in its grip. The only way through that is serious prayer. I can't get through it any other way. I've got to believe that that's making a difference somehow. I can't see the difference, but I've got to believe it does, because in some way it lets me sleep at night. My only other alternative is to become angry, and I can't go that direction.” KnowsWayFeelsBelieveDoeI CanPainNightSufferingDifferencesPrayerSleepSeriousLet MeAngryAlternativesMaking A Difference Author:Caroline Myss
