quotes

Though if my tongue were in the thunders mouth, then with a passion would I shake the world.

 - William Shakespeare

I believe in Christ like I believe in the sun, not because I can see it, but by it I can see everything else.

 - C.S. Lewis

Poetry is an art, and chief of the fine arts; the easiest to dabble in, the hardest in which to reach true perfection.

When those Pringles got in the hands of Jesus - wow!

 - Louie Giglio

Father, let me be weak that I might loose my clutch on everything temporal.  My life, my reputation, my possessions, Lord, let me loose the tension of the grasping hand.  Even Father, would I lose the love of fondling.  How often I have released a grasp only to retain what I prized by “harmless” longing, the fondling touch.  Rather, open my hand to receive the nail of Calvary, as Christ’s was opened – that I, releasing all, might be released, unleashed from all that binds me now.

 - Jim Elliot

He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.

 - Jim Elliot

When I thought of devoting myself entirely to you, my God...it was I that wished to do it, and I that wished not to do it.  It was I.  And since I neither completely wished, nor completely refused, I fought against myself and tore myself to pieces.

 - St. Augustine of Hippo

I remember that fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I am off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said the coach, "You never were really on the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."  It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought, something is brewing inside the head of the coach. He sees something inside of me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

It is our humble opinion that true art, true music, and true creativity are a function of the way it inspires the listener to thought and meaningful expression.  And true inspiration only comes when you are forced to see something or think about something in a new way.  Sometimes this process is painful.  Sometimes it is uncomfortable.  And sometimes you may disagree with the first impression you get.  In light of this, I want you to know, as our audience, that we in no way wish to spoonfeed you.  We wish to challenge your ear, your mind, and your soul.  This may mean that you do not always agree with everything we say or do.  But you will be stretched as we stretch ourselves...The most important thing we can do is encourage you, as human beings, to think for yourself.  To question the things you see.  To challenge the world around you, and especially challenge what the authority figures in your life have forced you to believe.  It is this process that makes us real...

Words aren't scary unless you read them.

It's not all about me and my dream of doing nothing.

 - Peter Gibbons, Office Space

Everything you want is not everything you need.

 - Vertical Horizon

Beware of all enterprises that require a new set of clothes.
