“I have consciously sought after those things which make for value, order, richness, spirit and wonder, even though I am often unable to verbalize what I feel when I perceive something beautiful. Sometimes it's a pang or a sensation; at other times it is an awareness of joy and security or pure pleasure. In any event, it is a moment to be celebrated. Beauty justifies itself. The fact that it is beyond definition means nothing.” FeelsMeanSometimesMomentsFactsBeautifulJoySpiritValuesOrderPleasureWonderBeautyAwarenessSecurityEventsPureDefinitionsPerceiveJustifySensationsRichnessSomething Beautiful Author:Luci Swindoll

“The beauty of religious mania is that it has the power to explain everything.

Religious mania is one of the few infallible ways of responding to the world's vagaries, because it totally eliminates pure accident.
