“The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame.”

“And questions are the only answers we need
to know that we are as alive as as a time when I held the mind of a child asking:
Why is 2+3 always equal to 5?
Where do people go when they die?
What made the beauty of the moon -
the beauty of the sea?
Did that beauty make you?
Did that beauty make me?
Will it make me
something?
Will I be something?
Am I something?
And the answer comes:
You already are.
You always were.
And you still have time to be.”
― Songs From Under The River

“Slow down, Quentin.
You don't have to touch and go.
You can see it all if your fingers whispers on one word.
Slow down, and hold what you see just a little while longer.
For in a world full of fast faces,
I'm looking for God everywhere -
trying to figure out a little better
this little thing He made called a man.”

“Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault. Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope. They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only Beauty. There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all.”
