Summary

This quote suggests that biographies are merely external and superficial representations of a person. While biographies may focus on the clothes and buttons of an individual's life, they fail to capture the true essence and intricacies of the person. The inner thoughts, emotions, and experiences of a person cannot be fully articulated in a biography. True understanding of an individual's life goes beyond the surface level and cannot be completely captured in written form.

It's difficult to discern the blessing in the midst of broke

It's difficult to discern the blessing in the midst of brokenness. Certain circumstances in life hurt, at times so intensely that we think we will never heal. After brokenness, we can experience God's greatest blessings. The dawn after a very dark and storm-wracked night is glorious. Joy after a period of intense mourning can be ecstatic. Brokenness is what God uses to replace our self-life with his desires and intents for us. Its end is blessing far greater than we could ever discover apart from being broken. It's spiritual maturity and joyous intimacy with God. Greater depth and power in our ministry to others. New dimensions of freedom, strength, and peace. And a wholeness that comes as God himself reassembles us into someone more closely resembling Jesus Christ.

I is a militant social tendency, working to hold and enlarge

I is a militant social tendency, working to hold and enlarge its place in the general current of tendencies. So far as it can it waxes, as all life does. To think of it as apart from society is a palpable absurdity of which no one could be guilty who really saw it as a fact of life.

I think I was a good student, because I jumped over a school. My main interest was basically history and literature. Sports were basically basketball and swimming at a pool. I was so happy.
