World Too Much Remember

More From Margaret Mitchell

I say too much of what, he says too much of everything, too much stuff, too many places, too much information, too many people, too much of things for there to be too much of, there is too much to know and i don't know where to begin but i want to try.
People Trying Want
For paradise we long. for perfection we were made...this longing is the source of the hunger and dissatisfaction that mark our lives...this longing makes our loves and friendships possible, and so very unsatisfactory. the hunger is for...nothing less than perfect communion with the...one in whom all the fragments of our scattered existence come together...we must not stifle this longing. it is a holy dissatisfaction. such dissatisfaction is not a sickness to be healed, but the seed of a promise to be fulfilled...the only death to fear is the death of settling for something less.
Perfect Long Promise
The soul must long for god in order to be set aflame by god's love; but if the soul cannot yet feel the longing, then it must long for the longing. to long for the longing is also from god.

The sweetest thing in all my life has been the longing — to reach the mountain, to find the place where all the beauty came from — my country, the place where i ought to have been born. do you think it all meant nothing, all the longing? the longing for home? for indeed it now feels not like going, but like going back.

Falling In Love Ice Cream Too Much
Ourchestra: so you haven't got a drum, just beat your belly. so i haven't got a horn-i'll play my nose. so we haven't any cymbals- we'll just slap our hands together, and though there may be orchestras that sound a little better with their fancy shiny instruments that cost an awful lot- hey, we're making music twice as good by playing what we've got!
Hands Play Together

But how shall we excuse the supine inattention of the pagan and philosophic world to those evidences which were presented by the hand of omnipotence, not to their reason, but to their senses? during the age of christ, of his apostles, and their first disciples, the doctrine which they preached was confirmed by innumerable prodigies. the lame walked, the blind saw, the sick were healed, the dead were raised, daemons were expelled, and the laws of nature were frequently suspended for the benefit of the church.
