― Andrew Kendall, The Dark Dictionary: A Guide to Help Eradicate Your Darkness, Restore Your Light, and Redefine Your Life.

“Your realm is an insane place. In Volaria, no-one goes hungry, slaves are no use when they starve. Those freeborn too lazy or lacking in intelligence to turn sufficient profit to feed themselves are made slaves so they can generate wealth for those deserving of freedom, and be fed in return. Here, your people are chained by their freedom, free to starve and beg from the rich. It's disgusting.”
― Anthony Ryan, Tower Lord

Just don't want to face another face”
― Munia Khan

“The uncertainty wore on him. The conditions in jail--the handcuffs, the noise, the filth, the crowding--mangled his senses. It's likely that, if one must be incarcerated in the United States, a jail in central Maine would be among the more tolerable spots, but to Knight it was torture. "Bedlam" is how he referred to the place. It never got dark in jail; at eleven p.m., the lights merely became a little duller. "I suspect," he noted, "more damage has been done to my sanity in jail, in months; than years, decades, in the woods.”
― Michael Finkel, The Stranger in the Woods: The Extraordinary Story of the Last True Hermit

“Our faith is often embodied in the relationships and neighborhoods where we live. In our world of globalization, technology, and mobility, we've misplaced the sacredness of place.
The act of staying and living in our place has an impact on us practically, of course, but also on us theologically. It's not always sexy to stay put, is it? In most of my church tradition, no one ever mentioned the holy work of staying.”
― Sarah Bessey, Out of Sorts: Making Peace with an Evolving Faith

― Dada Bhagwan

“Finally, it was the city that held us, the city they said had no center, that all of us had come to from all over America because this was the place to find dreams and pleasure and love. I noticed--looking at headlines--that some cities emptied and some didn't. Ours didn't, not completely.”
― Carolyn See, Golden Days

“New York: "I had only the vaguest of ideas of why I was there and certainly nothing that I would recognized as a pastoral vocation. I didn't know it at the time, but what I absorbed in my subconscious, which eventually surfaced years later, was a developing conviction that the most effective strategy for change, for revolution - at least on the large scale that the kingdom of God involves - comes from a minority working from the margins. I could not have articulated it then, but my seminary experience later germinated into the embrace of a vocational identity as necessarily minority, that a minority people working from the margins has the best chance of being a community capable of penetrating the noncommunity, the mob, the depersonalized function-defined crowd that is the sociological norm of America.”
― Eugene H. Peterson, The Pastor: A Memoir

“Just stop lying to yourself and pretend that time does not exist or seriously affect our actions. I'm here now, and time is here too. There are not two separate things, time and place. We are the ones who distinguish them, we are the ones who are moving away. I just said that´s enough ignoring time and place that relies us inexorably. You have to take steps, simple steps and break the barrier between time and space. Yes, I'm here in front of you because I want to stop wasting my time and do something. Instead of giving up on time I chose to give up on not worrying about time. Yes, I want to drink time the way one drinks water, I want to make of it my own internal fuel. I know, many of the things I'm saying now will seem absurd but, if you think about it for a moment, you will find a little sense in all this. I'm not going to list the reasons why I have not tried so far to meet you. Every reason has its own logic”
― Claudio Dunca

“You leave a place only if your mind leaves that place!”
― Mehmet Murat ildan
