There are many scapegoats for our sins, but the most popular is providence.

Mark Twain

If your heart takes more pleasure in reading novels, or watching TV, or going to the movies, or talking to friends, rather than just sitting alone with God and embracing Him, sharing His cares and His burdens, weeping and rejoicing with Him, then how are you going to handle forever and ever in His presence...? You'd be bored to tears in heaven, if you're not ecstatic about God now!

Keith Green

There's too much darkness in the world. Everywhere you turn, someone is tryin' to tear someone down in some way; everywhere you go, there's a feeling of inadequacy, or a feeling that you're not good enough. I want to bring a certain light to the world.

Alicia Keys

The history of human opinion is scarcely anything more than the history of human errors.

Voltaire (FrançoisMarie Arouet)

Well, darkness with humor... I'm not an extremely suicidal or sad person.

Peter Steele

Poetry and music are very good friends. Like mommies and daddies and strawberries and cream - they go together.
