“Most people who came here came for economic reasons or sometimes for religious or political reasons. I didn't have any of this. I came here, I liked it, I stayed. So I'm a pure American - even more than people who are born here - because I did it by choice as an adult.” PeopleSometimesReasonPoliticalChoicesBornReligiousEconomicPureAdults Author:Jacques Pepin

“Proselytism is solemn nonsense, it makes no sense. We need to get to know each other, listen to each other and improve our knowledge of the world around us. Sometimes after a meeting I want to arrange another one because new ideas are born and I discover new needs. This is important: to get to know people, listen, expand the circle of ideas. The world is crisscrossed by roads that come closer together and move apart, but the important thing is that they lead towards the Good.” PeopleKnowsWorldWantNeedsImportantIdeasSometimesTogetherMovingBornImportant ThingsMeetingsCirclesNonsenseNew IdeasSolemnKnowledge Of The World Author:Pope Francis
“I sometimes think, with a sad delight, that if one day, in a future I no longer belong to, these sentences, that I write, last with praise, I will at last have the people who understand me, those mine, the true family to be born in and be loved... I will only be understood in effigy, when affection no longer repays the dead the unaffection that was, when living.” PeopleIfsThinkingWritingSometimesLastsBornMinesOne DayUnderstoodPraiseAffectionDelightSentencesImmortalityUnderstand MeTrue Family Author:Fernando Pessoa
“If life is music, I sometimes feel as though I was born on the off-beat of the song, and I love it. As Christian numbers reportedly decrease in America, my love for Christ feels as though it increases. I must be honest about such strange feelings: I now want to be thought unfaithful about as much as a bougie aristocrat wants to be thought a hobo.” IfsWantFeelsSometimesFeelingsChristianAmericaLife IsSongChristBornNumbersHonestStrangeBeatsIncreaseBeing HonestDecreaseUnfaithfulHobos Author:Criss Jami
“Precise, graceful, and generous, the poems in SuperLoop, seem to be born out of a deep, careful attention and a profound compassion. Sometimes the quiet observer, sometimes the kid in the center of the messed-up carnival, these poems are the fireflies you’ve missed all winter, the longed-for return of the bees. Unaffected and inherently hopeful, Callihan’s work is as merciful as it is moving.” SometimesSeemsKidsMovingBornAttentionCompassionReturnQuietProfoundWinterCarefulGenerousHopefulBeesPreciseObserversMercifulMessed UpFireflyCarnivals Author:Ada Limon

“This is a man with an old face, always old... There was pathos, in his face, and in his eyes. The early weariness; and sometimes tears in his eyes, Which he let slip unconsciously on his cheek, Or brushed away with an unconcerned hand. There were tears for human suffering, or for a glance Into the vast futility of life, Which he had seen from the first, being old When he was born.” MenFirstsHumansSometimesHandsEyeFacesSufferingBornAtheismTearsHis EyesSlipsCheeksGlancesFutilityWearinessPathosHuman SufferingUnconcernedBeing OldFutility Of Life Author:Edgar Lee Masters
“it is not unusual to hate great writers before we learn to love them. Because they have created something that did not yet exist, they must also create their audience. Sometimes the audience is not yet ready. Sometimes it has yet to be born.” SometimesHateBornAudienceReadyUnusualGreat Writers Book:The Devil at Large: Erica Jong on Henry Miller Source: The Devil at Large: Erica Jong on Henry Miller
