The hardest thing for a sane person to do is not care what anyone thinks, although everyone swears by it, hence our glorification of insanity.
I imagine that the intelligent people are the ones so intelligent that they don't even need or want to look 'intelligent' anymore.
It is a noble responsibility to not back down when you know that you know that you know that you are right.
The love of conflict is most evident when opposing forces join sides to defeat the peacemaker.
You have to lift a person up before you can really put them in their place.
Peaceful disputes are maintained when men sincerely believe that they are morally, logically correct about the issues at hand. It is when neither side is really certain that wars are instigated.
The only truths worth arguing about are those truths that could prevent or lead to circumstances that may bite us in the rear sooner or later.
To better understand God we must first shatter our own idea of God - maybe even day after day. Maybe he's too great to stay compressed in the human mind. Maybe he splits it wide open; this is why pretentious intellectualism so often fails to comprehe...
Everything at some point has been declared the root of all evil.
It helps to not confuse theological philosophers with evangelists. There is a difference but objectively neither better than the other: an evangelist's mission is to convert; a theological philosopher's mission is to build an understanding of a posit...
Good...if you've done things you aren't proud of. It means you have a conscience.

Imagination doesn't always make you long for what you cannot have, but rather thrive in what you do not have.
I only seem negative to the fortunate. That's because I show the less fortunate that they aren't less fortunate after all.
The ultimate story of success: When a nobody, who has never once in his entire life known the feeling of being remembered or respected, suddenly snaps and becomes a world dictator. On one hand it sounds just, but on the other, it illustrates the reas...
The weather is nature's disruptor of human plans and busybodies. Of all the things on earth, nature's disruption is what we know we can depend on, as it is essentially uncontrolled by men.
We men are fascinated by the things we don't really understand. It gives us something to think and talk about: like females, they drive us nuts.
Excitement is a crossroad which runs in all directions. No man lacks personality; he just never connected with you at the intersection.
A god who gave us everything we wanted would be the most malevolent god of all. With an infantile curiosity, we insist on tasting the cockroach on the floor while our father is preparing a magnificent feast for us.
The humble sinner will sometimes be interpreted as one of the filthiest in the eyes of man yet immersed in the eyes of God, and this is due to the volition of honesty regarding his own corruption.
