The Americans who are the most efficient people on earth...have invented so wide a range of pithy and hackneyed phrases that they can carry on a...conversation without giving a moment's reflection to what they are saying and so leave their minds free to consider more important matters of big business and fornication.

When I was a kid going into the movies, you weren't force-fed information everywhere you looked about what the movie was going to be.

J. J. Abrams

Each morning is a new beginning of our life. Each day is a finished whole. The present day marks the boundary of our cares and concerns. It is long enough to find God or loose Him, to keep faith or fall into disgrace.God created day and night for us so we need not wander without boundaries, but may be able to see in every morning the goal of the evening ahead.Just as the ancient sun rises anew everyday, so the eternal mercy of God is new every morning.Every morning God gives us the gift of comprehending anew His faithfulness of old; thus in the midst of our life with God, we may daily begin a new life with Him.In the first moments of the new day are for God's liberating grace, God's sanctifying presence. Before the heart unlocks itself for the world, God wants to open it for Himself; before the ear takes in the countless voices of the day, it should hear in the early hours the voice of the Creator and Redeemer.God prepared the stillness of the first morning for Himself. It should remain His.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

In New York City, you can walk down the street and see a girl in a trench who looks equally as cool as a girl wearing Lululemon. It's like you're watching models. You see a little of everything right by you.

Hoda Kotb

People who honestly mean to be true really contradict themselves much more rarely than those who try to be consistent.

The day of the sun is like the day of a king. It is a promenade in the morning, a sitting on the throne at noon, a pageant in the evening.

Wallace Stevens

Fine art is knowledge made visible.

Gustave Courbet

Singing has always seemed to me the most perfect means of expression. It is so spontaneous. And after singing, I think the violin. Since I cannot sing, I paint.also cited in Laurie Lisle, Portrait of an Artist (1986)

Georgia O'Keeffe, "New York Sun"

You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water.

When God knows you're ready for the responsibility of commitment, He'll reveal the right person under the right circumstances.
