More From Saint Francis De Sales

For him it was a dark passage which led to nowhere, then to nowhere, then again to nowhere, once again to nowhere, always and forever to nowhere, heavy on the elbows in the earth to nowhere, dark, never any end to nowhere, hung on all time always to unknowing nowhere, this time and again for always to nowhere, now not to be borne once again always and to nowhere, now beyond all bearing up, up, up and into nowhere, suddenly, scaldingly, holdingly all nowhere gone and time absolutely still and they were both there, time having stopped and he felt the earth move out and away from under them.

Imperfection Upset Weakness
It has been said that there is no fool like an old fool, except a young fool. but the young fool has first to grow up to be an old fool to realize what a damn fool he was when he was a young fool.
Growing Up Fool Firsts
Faith is the surrender of the mind; it's the surrender of reason, it's the surrender of the only thing that makes us different from other mammals. it's our need to believe, and to surrender our skepticism and our reason, our yearning to discard that and put all our trust or faith in someone or something, that is the sinister thing to me. of all the supposed virtues, faith must be the most overrated.
Atheist Believe Animal
Perhaps there is a reason that there is no fool piece on the chessboard. what action, a fool? what strategy, a fool? what use, a fool? ah, but a fool resides in a deck of cards, a joker, sometimes two. of no worth, of course. no real purpose. the appearance of a trump, but none of the power: simply an instrument of chance. only a dealer may give value to the joker.
Real Two Giving
We should not be discouraged or depressed by our shortcomings. no one is without weakness. as part of the divine plan, we are tested to see whether we master weakness or let weakness master us. proper diagnosis is essential to proper treatment. the lord gave us this remarkable assurance: "because thou hast seen thy weakness thou shalt be made strong" (ether 12:37). but wishing for strength won't make us strong. it takes faith and work to shore up a weakened cord of integrity.

I think a good deal may be said to extenuate the fault of bad poets. what we call a genius, is hard to be distinguish'd by a man himself, from a strong inclination: and if his genius be ever so great, he can not at first discover it any other way, than by giving way to that prevalent propensity which renders him the more liable to be mistaken.

One thing i'm most proud of, in my movies, is that i think the performances are super-strong, but that's not all me. i think part of it is casting appropriately.
Strong Thinking Proud
I heard the bells from the future churches, the children playing and laughing in the schoolyards [...] and here was an almond tree in bloom before me: i must reach out and cut a flowering branch. for, by believing passionately in something which still does not exist, we create it. the nonexistent is whatever we have not sufficiently desired, whatever we have not irrigated with our blood to such a degree that it becomes strong enough to stride across the somber threshold of nonexistence.
Strong Children Believe
A strong, successful man is not the victim of his environment. he creates favorable conditions. his own inherent force and energy compel things to turn out as he desires.
