Louis C.K.
“Why am I angry? Every morning, I wake up, I open my eyes, remember who and what I am and I say, “Yuck.” Then I go about my day, and when it’s over, I get back in bed, put a sheet between my sweaty legs and, as I drift off, looking back on a day of being this shitbag of a human, I mutter to myself, “Jesus Christ.”
Louis C.K.

“Its face was like the face she had seen in some medieval paintings where the martyr’s limbs are being sawed off and his expression says he is being deprived of nothing essential.”
Flannery O'Connor, The Violent Bear It Away

Eugene H. Peterson
“The pastoral itch to be where “the action is” should be resisted.”
Eugene H. Peterson, Under the Unpredictable Plant an Exploration in Vocational Holiness

“You know the only thing happier than a three-legged dog? A four-legged dog.”
Louis C.K.

Flannery O'Connor
“The world was made for the dead. Think of all the dead there are...There's a million times more dead than living and the dead are dead a million times longer than the living are alive...”
Flannery O'Connor, The Violent Bear It Away
