Quotable Quotes 2012
“Immature people falling in love destroy each other’s
freedom, create a bondage, make a prison.
Mature persons in love help each other to be free; they help
each other to destroy all sorts of bondages. And when
love flows with freedom there is beauty. When love
flows with dependence there is ugliness.
A mature person does not fall in love, he or she rises
in love. Only immature people fall; they stumble and
fall down in love. Somehow they were managing and
standing. Now they cannot manage and they cannot stand.
They were always ready to fall on the ground and to
creep. They don’t have the backbone, the spine; they
don’t have the integrity to stand alone.
A mature person has the integrity to stand alone. And
when a mature person gives love, he or she gives
without any strings attached to it. When two mature
persons are in love, one of the great paradoxes of life
happens, one of the most beautiful phenomena: they are
together and yet tremendously alone. They are together
so much that they are almost one. Two mature persons in
love help each other to become more free. There is no
politics involved, no diplomacy, no effort to dominate.
Only freedom and love.”
— Osho

It was the head of my baby…I’ll wake up in the middle of the night, thinking I hear a baby crying. And I still have nightmares in which I am forced to watch my baby being ripped apart in front of me. I simply miss my baby. I constantly wake up wanting to nurse my child, wanting to hold my child. And that’s something the doctor never told me I would experience.”

We’re all saying don’t settle in relationships, but I’m going to take it further and say: be greedy. Go to God and say, “I want someone who is on fire for you and I want a vision for a whole big beautiful thing, and I want you to start preparing me for that.” If you look at it from God’s perspective, that must be a fantastic thing to hear, and how would He say no to that?”

"What we have to remember is that we can still do anything. We can change our minds. We can start over. Get a post-bac or try writing for the first time. The notion that it's too late to do anything is comical. It's hilarious. We're graduating college. We're so young. We can't, we MUST not lose this sense of possibility because in the end, it's all we have."
-Marina Keegan
“Why should believing Christians want everything pre-cooked, pre-digested, sliced and salted and expect that God must come and hold the food to their baby lips while they pound the table and splash? And we think that’s Christianity! It is not. Such a degenerate, illegitimate breed have no right to be called Christians.
Those who insist that the Lord God humor them, letting them continue on as they are and still say in the end, “Come, faithful servants,” are fools. Someone needs to tell them so now!”
— A. W. Tozer - Faith Beyond Reason
