John  Wiltshire
“What is the biggest threat to your—our—national identity, Benjamin?"
"Britain’s Got Talent?”
John Wiltshire, Love is a Stranger

Henri J.M. Nouwen
“Over the years, I have come to realize that the greatest trap in our life is not success, popularity, or power, but self-rejection. Success, popularity, and power can indeed present a great temptation, but their seductive quality often comes from the way they are part of the much larger temptation to self-rejection. When we have come to believe in the voices that call us worthless and unlovable, then success, popularity, and power are easily perceived as attractive solutions. The real trap, however, is self-rejection. As soon as someone accuses me or criticizes me, as soon as I am rejected, left alone, or abandoned, I find myself thinking, "Well, that proves once again that I am a nobody." ... [My dark side says,] I am no good... I deserve to be pushed aside, forgotten, rejected, and abandoned. Self-rejection is the greatest enemy of the spiritual life because it contradicts the sacred voice that calls us the "Beloved." Being the Beloved constitutes the core truth of our existence.”
Henri J.M. Nouwen

“Life has no remote....get up and change it yourself!”
Mark A. Cooper, Operation Einstein

N.R. Walker
“Though it’s likely he knew I was nervous because I might have talked about the adobo at my favourite Filipino restaurant for ten minutes straight, with a very honourable mention to the dumplings from the corner noodle bar.”
N.R. Walker, Dearest Milton James

“It is what you read when you don't have to that determines what you will be when you can't help it.”
Oscar Wilde
