Jakob Bohme
-

War happens to people, one by one. That is really all I have to say and it seems to me I have been saying it forever.

It would be a bitter cosmic joke if we destroy ourselves due to atrophy of the imagination.

Joan Crawford is doubtless the best example of the flapper, the girl you see in smart night clubs, gowned to the apex of sophistication, toying iced glasses with a remote, faintly bitter expression, dancing deliciously, laughing a great deal, with wide, hurt eyes. Young things with a talent for living.
F. Scott Fitzgerald

Oswald Chambers
-
Whatever we focus on is bound to expand. Where we see the negative, we call forth more negative. And where we see the positive, we call forth more positive. Having loved and lost, I now love more passionately. Having won and lost, I now win more soberly. Having tasted the bitter, I now savor the sweet.
Marianne Williamson
