He smiled his shy smile at her as he went into the yard. Anne took the memory of it with her when she went to her room that night and sat for a long while at her open window, thinking of the past and dreaming of the future. Outside the Snow Queen was mistily white in the moonshine; the frogs were singing in the marsh beyond Orchard Slope.

Jess C. Scott

I love to play music. So why endanger that with something like drugs?

Dave Grohl

The divine element manifests itself (or show up) in man as well by his aptitude for science, than by his aptitude for virtue. True morality, true philosophy and true art are in their essence (dans leur essence, Fr.) religious.

African Spir

Have thy tools ready. God will find thee work.
