It wasn't raining when Noah built the ark....

Summary

This quote serves as a reminder that preparation is necessary even in times of calm and security. It reflects the idea that foreseeing and taking action to prevent potential dangers or challenges in advance is essential, rather than waiting for them to emerge before acting. Just as Noah built the ark in anticipation of the storm, we should prepare ourselves proactively and be ready to face any future uncertainties or difficulties that may come our way.

The experience of the gangster as an experience of art is universal to Americans. There is almost nothing we understand better or react to more readily or with quicker intelligence.

I wanted so badly to lie down next to her on the couch, to wrap my arms around her and sleep. Not fuck, like in those movies. Not even have sex. Just sleep together in the most innocent sense of the phrase.

So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was hurricane.

Man is the individualised expression or reflection of God imaged forth and made manifest in bodily form. How is it, then, I hear it asked, that man has the limitations that he has, that he is subject to fears and forebodings, that he is liable to sin and error, that he is the victim of disease and suffering? There is but one reason. He is not living, except in rare cases here and there, in the conscious realisation of his own true Being, and hence of his own true Self.http://website.lineone.net/~ralphtrine/gtekinx.htm
