“I listened impatiently to the wisdom of the O'Neills for about twenty minutes until I could take no more (by this time Steve and Susan had me thumbing through the paperback). I slid the book across the desk at them and said, 'This is so much shit.'That was a mistake because the word 'shit' on the lips of a pastor deeply offended their moral sensibilities. Such was the state of things among us. They took grave exception to the word SHIT, while I was expected to remain noddingly neutral toward their adultery. WELL, SHIT, I thought. Without apologizing, I tried to convince them I was merely 'upset' by the prospects of their separation. Gradually, I achieved the clinical tone that they so admired in the O'Neills and evidently expected in their country parson.”

Patience Johnson, Why Does an Orderly God Allow Disorder“Quotes is just quotes, cannot change your world if you not do think in that quotes, so just go and do anything...”
Libiyanto Dwi Cahya“Coming up with a useful, meaningful quote is getting more and more challenging each day....and you can quote me on that.”
Bobby Darnell, Time For Dervin - Living Large In Geiggityville“To me, quotes function as the sunscreen against a writers brilliance. As soon as I cannot stand to look at the magnificence of the acropolis of pure thought the writer managed to doll out in the cognizant chaos - I quote him, and by doing so I am discharged and freed. On the other hand, even while I do acknowledge that some things cannot be quoted, I vehemently distrust any writer whose army of quotes does not consist of impeccable warriors but the sort of bootless canon fodder that caused one to write in the first place, wishing to circumlocute that strappant lot. No writer can ever recover from bad quotes. I check the army of quotes, and if it has no sporting chance against a simple pack of butter then I will simply never ever read this person. One often hears short stories are the benchmark of great writers, but if you ask me, I'd rather first look at their quotes.”
Martijn Benders“If all it takes to motivate you is a quote then this quote has nothing to say – except to go soar with the freakin’ eagles.”
Ryan Lilly“When I quote Scripture, I know I am quoting the very Word of God.”
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes“Read everyday quotes start from easy which don't want a lot of thinking, then average,then something complex. This will re-wire your brain, however if you find a book of quotes I suggest you to read all quotes slow and even if you don't get a quote or quotes read them as much time as possible.”
Deyth Banger“A wise quote may not be famous and a famous quote may not be wise! Stick to the wise as the other one is just a bubble!”
