“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that”
Martin Luther King, Jr.
“We all have a tendency to minimize God, to think and behave as if we weren’t really immersed in His creation and that we aren’t ourselves the product of His unimaginable creative power. Looking at the evidence — in nature and in Scripture — reminds me over and over again of who He is. And it reminds me of who I am too — someone in need of Him.”
The Case for a Creator, Strobal
“It seems that only the old are able to sit next to one another and not say anything and still feel content. The young, brash and impatient must always break the silence. It is a waste, for silence is pure. Silence is holy. It draws people together because only those who are comfortable with each other can sit without speaking. This is the great paradox.”
The Notebook, Nicholas Sparks
“What is a lizard compared with a stallion? Lust is a poor, weak, whimpering, whispering thing compared with that richness and energy of desire which will arise when lust has been killed.”
The Great Divorce, C.S. Lewis
“While there were times when he wished he could roll back the clock and erase all the sadness, he had a hunch that if he did so, the joy would be diminished as well. And that was something he couldn’t comprehend.”
At First Sight, Nicholas Sparks
“Love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is well done.”
Vincent Van Gogh
“Does trust have to be earned? Or is it simply a matter of faith?”
At First Sight, Nicholas Sparks
“In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life. It goes on.“
Robert Frost
“…what I eventually came to understand was that if a woman truly loves you, you can’t always expect her to tell the truth. You see, women are more attuned to feelings than men are, and if they’re not being truthful, more often than not it’s because they thing the truth might hurt your feelings.”
At First Sight, Nicholas Sparks
“Home is not where you live but where they understand you.”
Christian Morgenstein
“Atheists would say the sphere [Earth] was always there, those with faith might say that God created it, and there was no way ever to prove which group was right. That’s why, he figured, it was called faith.”
At First Sight, Nicholas Sparks
“In history as in human life, regret does not bring back a lost moment and a thousand years will not recover something lost in a single hour.”
Stefan Zweig
“Stories are only as unique as the people who tell them.”
The Choice, Nicholas Sparks
“Take time for all things: great haste makes great waste.”
Benjamin Franklin
“It’s funny, but have you ever noticed that the more special something is, the more people take it for granted?”
The Wedding, Nicholas Sparks
“I was always looking outside myself for strength and confidence, but it comes from within. It is there all the time.”
Anna Freud
“While wounds can be inflicted easily upon those we love, it’s often much more difficult to heal them.”
The Wedding, Nicholas Sparks
