Remarks are not literature.

Summary

This quote suggests that simply making observations or comments does not qualify as literature. It implies that literature should embody more depth, creativity, and artistic value than mere remarks, which often lack the substance and artistry found in well-crafted literary works. literature encompasses complex storytelling, thematic exploration, and the use of various literary devices to convey meaning, making it far more nuanced and substantial than casual remarks or comments.

Our faith in others betrays that we would rather have faith

Our faith in others betrays that we would rather have faith in ourselves. Our longing for a friend is our betrayer. And often with our love we want merely to overcome envy. And often we attack and make ourselves enemies, to conceal that we are vulnerable.

One of the joys of being a Christian or being a person of faith is that you believe deep down that death isn't the worst thing, you know. Not living your life: that's the worst thing. And death is not, it's not all it's cracked up to be. It's not, it's not the end of the world.

Today 80 percent of all the oil that comes out of the Gulf is from 1,000 feet or more and today almost a third of it is more than 5,000 feet below the surface.
