“I always tell people, anger is like liquid. It's fluid, it's like water. You put it in a container and it takes the shape of that container. So many people you see in prison, unleashing war on their people, they are angry, and they take their anger and put it into a violent container.” PeopleWarWaterShapesAngryPrisonViolentFluidLiquidContainersUnleashing Author:Leymah Gbowee
“I have seen Christians in Communist prisons with fifty pounds of chains on their feet, tortured with red-hot iron pokers, in whose throats spoonfuls of salt had been forced, being kept afterward without water, starving, whipped, suffering from cold - and praying with fervor for the Communists. This is humanly inexplicable! It is the love of Christ, which was poured out in our hearts.” HeartChristianSufferingChristWaterFeetColdPrayingRedHotPrisonChainsFiftyPoundsIronCommunistThroatSaltStarvingInexplicableFervorRed Hot Author:Richard Wurmbrand

“Without the instruments and accumulated knowledge of the natural sciences... humans are trapped in a cognitive prison. They are like intelligent fish born in a deep shallowed pool. Wondering and restless, longing to reach out, they think about the world outside. They invent ingenious speculations and myths about the origin of the confining waters, of the sun and the sky and the stars above , and the meaning of their own existence. But they are wrong, always wrong because the world is too remote from ordinary experience to be merely imagined.” ThinkingWorldHumansStarsWaterBornNaturalExistenceWonderSunSkyOrdinaryIntelligentInstrumentsLongingPrisonFishesMythPoolReach OutTrappedSpeculationRestlessCognitiveIngeniousNatural ScienceAlways Wrong Author:E.

“It was as though I had been dying of thirst and the librarian had handed me a five gallon bucket of water. I drank and drank. The only reason I am here and not in prison is because of that woman. I was a loser, but she showed me the power of reading.” ReasonReadingWaterFiveDyingPrisonLoserThirstLibrarianDrankBucketsGallons Author:Gary Paulsen
