Real Obvious Things Voice

More From John Green

But what i would like to say is that the spiritual life is a life in which you gradually learn to listen to a voice that says something else, that says, "you are the beloved and on you my favour rests."... i want you to hear that voice. it is not a very loud voice because it is an intimate voice. it comes from a very deep place. it is soft and gentle. i want you to gradually hear that voice. we both have to hear that voice and to claim for ourselves that that voice speaks the truth, our truth. it tells us who we are.

This is my life now. absurd, but unpredictable. not absurd because unpredictable but unpredictable because absurd. if i have lost the meaning of my life, i might still find small treasured things among the spilled and pilfered trash.

The success that comes from my books is not something i feel very comfortable with. past a certain point you have to accept the idea that the success is a lot to do with the timing and luck and that divorces you from it massively. there are aspects of it that i haven't got used to at all. but i've enjoyed some parts of it massively. it relates to the same reason i did a lot of backpacking partly for the experience it's something to tell my grandkids. it's a weird chain of events to have in your life.

I'm 17 years old. i'm not a straight-a student or anything. even so, i figured out how to make an internet that they can't wiretap. i figured out how to jam their person-tracking technology. i can turn innocent people into suspects and turn guilty people into innocents in their eyes. i could get metal onto an airplane or beat a no-fly list. i figured this stuff out by looking at the web and by thinking about it. if i can do it, terrorists can do it. they told us they took away our freedom to make us safe. do you feel safe?

Uh-uh, dude. i tried it your way with the dating and the girls and the kissing and the drama, and man, i didn't like it. plus, my best friend is a walking cautionary tale of what happens to you when romantic relationships don't involve marriage. like you always say, kafir, everything ends in breakup, divorce, or death. i want to narrow my misery options to divorce or death - that's all.

There are no words and there is no singing, but the music has a voice. it is an old voice and a deep voice, like the stump of a sweet cigar or a shoe with a hole. it is a voice that has lived and lives, with sorrow and shame, ecstasy and bliss, joy and pain, redemption and damnation. it is a voice with love and without love. i like the voice, and though i can't talk to it, i like the way it talks to me. it says it is all the same, young man. take it and let it be.

Similar Quotes

Alack, there lies more peril in thine eye than twenty of their swords: look thou but sweet, and i am proof against their enmity.

Just let matters slide. how much better to accept each sweet drop of the honey that was time, than to stoop to the vulgarity latent in every decision. however grave the matter at hand might be, if one neglected it for long enough, the act of neglect itself would begin to affect the situation, and someone else would emerge as an ally. such was count ayakura's version of political theory.

Journey from the self to the self and find the mine of gold. leave behind what is sour and bitter and move toward the sweet.

Do not pursue what is illusory - property and position: all that is gained at the expense of your nerves decade after decade, and is confiscated in one fell night. live with a steady superiority over life - don't be afraid of misfortune, and do not yearn after happiness; it is, after all, all the same: the bitter doesn't last forever, and the sweet never fills the cup to overflowing.
