To trust someone's soul
is to love the emotions of his heart.
Petra ~ Petra Hermans
J J M De Vries quotes by Petra Hermans
To paraphrase Montaigne - even when you're sitting on the highest throne in the world, you're still sitting on your arse. ~ M.J. Carter
J J M De Vries quotes by M.J. Carter
astonishing splashes of colour ~ J.M. Barrie
J J M De Vries quotes by J.M. Barrie
Every time you do something that comes from your needs for acceptance, affirmation, or affection, and every time you do something that makes these needs grow, you know that you are not with God. These needs will never be satisfied; they will only increase when you yield to them. ~ Henri J.M. Nouwen
J J M De Vries quotes by Henri J.M. Nouwen
Deprived of human intercourse, I inevitably overvalue the imagination and expect it to make the mundane glow with an aura of self-transcendence. ~ J.M. Coetzee
J J M De Vries quotes by J.M. Coetzee
All children, except one, grow up. They soon know that they will grow up, and the way Wendy knew was this. One day when she was two years old she was playing in a garden, and she plucked another flower and ran with it to her mother. I suppose she must have looked rather delightful, for Mrs Darling put her hand to her heart and cried, 'Oh, why can't you remain like this for ever!' This was all that passed between them on the subject, but henceforth Wendy knew that she must grow up. You always know after you are two. Two is the beginning of the end. ~ J.M. Barrie
J J M De Vries quotes by J.M. Barrie
Because, baby, revenge is an ugly seed, and once it's planted it soaks into your veins, feeding off your cells until they grow as black and as dark as it is, eventually casting an ominous mask over your soul. That's what my life had become until you. i can't say goodbye again, but I can't have my revenge and have you. I choose you. ~ J.M. Sevilla
J J M De Vries quotes by J.M. Sevilla
If you dance with the devil, then you haven't got a clue, for you think you'll change the devil, but the devil changes you. ~ J.M. Smith
J J M De Vries quotes by J.M. Smith
A moment after the fairy's entrance the window was blown open by the breathing of the little stars, and Peter dropped in. ~ J.M. Barrie
J J M De Vries quotes by J.M. Barrie
Our society is so fragmented, our family lives so sundered by physical and emotional distance, our friendships so sporadic, our intimacies so 'in-between' things and often so utilitarian, that there are few places where we can feel truly safe. ~ Henri J.M. Nouwen
J J M De Vries quotes by Henri J.M. Nouwen
She seemed like a keeper. Housewife material, verses your usual whorehouse type. ~ J.M. Darhower
J J M De Vries quotes by J.M. Darhower
You don't realize how fucking beautiful you are to me. How fucking crazy I am about you…" -Jackson, Under My Skin ~ J.M. Stone
J J M De Vries quotes by J.M. Stone
Get haven to my house and fix her before your son resorts to resuscitating people just to kill them again. ~ J.M. Darhower
J J M De Vries quotes by J.M. Darhower
Jesus is deeply connected to the earth on which he walks. He observes the forces of nature, learns from them, teaches about them, and reveals that the God of Creation is the same God who sent him to give good news to the poor, sight to the blind, and freedom to the prisoners. He walks from village to village, sometimes alone and sometimes with others; as he walks, he meets the poor, the beggars, the blind, the sick, the mourners, and those who have lost hope. He listens attentively to those with whom he walks, and he speaks to them with the authority of a true companion on the road. He remains very close to the ground. ~ Henri J.M. Nouwen
J J M De Vries quotes by Henri J.M. Nouwen
You're not going to find her on the cover of a magazine. She's more the kind you find at a museum, on a painting or in a piece of literature. Her beauty is in her soul. ~ J.M. Darhower
J J M De Vries quotes by J.M. Darhower
So come with me, where dreams are born, and time is never planned. Just think of happy things, and your heart will fly on wings, forever, in Never Never Land! ~ J.M. Barrie
J J M De Vries quotes by J.M. Barrie
It is important none the less that our remotest identifiable ancestors lived in trees because what survived in the next phase of evolution were genetic strains best suited to the special uncertainties and accidental challenges of the forest. That environment put a premium on the capacity to learn. Those survived whose genetic inheritance could respond and adapt to the surprising, sudden danger of deep shade, confused visual patterns and treacherous handholds. Strains prone to accident in such conditions were wiped out. Among those that prospered (genetically speaking) were some species with long digits which were to develop into fingers and, eventually, the oppositional thumb, and other forerunners of the apes already embarked upon an evolution towards three-dimensional vision and the diminution of the importance of the sense of smell. ~ J.M. Roberts
J J M De Vries quotes by J.M. Roberts
Pleasure is hard to come by, but pain is everywhere these days, I must learn to subsist on it. ~ J.M. Coetzee
J J M De Vries quotes by J.M. Coetzee
They were his dogs snapping at him, but, tragic figure though he had become, he scarcely heeded them. Against such fearful evidence it was not their belief in him that he needed, it was his own. He felt his ego slipping from him. ~ J.M. Barrie
J J M De Vries quotes by J.M. Barrie
Words are taking their revenge. One day, they break the seals of the phylacteries, and come swarming out like snakes. Another day, they spurt from the labels of the bottles that had held them prisoner, and spread through the black sky with their pterodactyl-like jaws thrust forward like a saw-blade knife. They sweep straight ahead, and as they kill their masters their cries of vengeance can be heard. ~ J M G Le Clezio
J J M De Vries quotes by J M G Le Clezio
Sometimes, I feel like I'm just a step away from that, just one breakdown away from chopping my own dick off and slapping somebody with it. The only thing stopping me is that I happen to like my dick. It gives me some of the only pleasure I get out of this life I've been given. ~ J.M. Darhower
J J M De Vries quotes by J.M. Darhower
If he can't handle it, then you aren't very good friends, are you? ~ J.M. Richards
J J M De Vries quotes by J.M. Richards
I'm going to tell you something that a wise man once told me: it's not the darkness that's terrifying, it's what you might find in it. I was always afraid of the dark as a child, afraid monsters would sneak into my room at night, but now I know there's nothing to fear. Not because monsters don't exist. They do. I've seen them. I've encountered them. One attacked me as I slept. I even became one myself afterward. No, the reason there's nothing to fear in the dark is because real monsters lurk in the light, too. They hide in plain sight. The trick is to find them before they can get you. I'm not a good man. I'm not. I know...I've learned my lesson. I find peace in the darkness sometimes now. I find peace with her. I'll never forget, but she makes me feel like it's okay to remember. It's okay to remember the pain and fear. It's okay to admit the darkness terrified me. Because I found some light in it. I found her. ~ J.M. Darhower
J J M De Vries quotes by J.M. Darhower
They are not calling forth demons. They are not trying to commune with the devil. They are unleashing the happiness within them. They are showing their freedom and rejoicing in it. ~ J.M. Dain
J J M De Vries quotes by J.M. Dain
Just as words lose their power when they are not born out of silence, so openness loses its meaning when there is no ability to be closed. ~ Henri J.M. Nouwen
J J M De Vries quotes by Henri J.M. Nouwen
You can only seek God when you have already found God. The desire for God's unconditional love is the fruit of having been touched by that love. ~ Henri J.M. Nouwen
J J M De Vries quotes by Henri J.M. Nouwen
But where do you live mostly now?"
With the lost boys."
Who are they?"
They are the children who fall out of their perambulators when the nurse is looking the other way. If they are not claimed in seven days they are sent far away to the Neverland to defray expanses. I'm captain."
What fun it must be!"
Yes," said cunning Peter, "but we are rather lonely. You see we have no female companionship."
Are none of the others girls?"
Oh no; girls, you know, are much too clever to fall out of their prams. ~ J.M. Barrie
J J M De Vries quotes by J.M. Barrie
I know how you feel, but it's just a fact of life. The sky is blue, dinosaurs are big, boy bands are terrible, and Avery doesn't belong to us. She never did. ~ J.M. Darhower
J J M De Vries quotes by J.M. Darhower
You're so goddamn beautiful."
Her eyes open, and she looks down at me, leaning closer, her voice shaky as she says, "It's been so long since somebody said that and I actually felt it. ~ J.M. Darhower
J J M De Vries quotes by J.M. Darhower
You see when a new baby laughs for the first time a new fairy is born and as there are always new babies there are always new fairies. They live in nests in the top of trees; and the mauve ones are boys and the white ones are girls, and the blue ones are just little sillies who are not sure what they are. ~ J.M. Barrie
J J M De Vries quotes by J.M. Barrie
I suppose it's like the ticking crocodile, isn't it? Time is chasing after all of us. ~ J.M. Barrie
J J M De Vries quotes by J.M. Barrie
The world is evil only when you become its slave. ~ Henri J.M. Nouwen
J J M De Vries quotes by Henri J.M. Nouwen
How can we embrace poverty as a way to God when everyone around us wants to become rich? Poverty has many forms. We have to ask ourselves: 'What is my poverty?' Is it lack of money, lack of emotional stability, lack of a loving partner, lack of security, lack of safety, lack of self-confidence? Each human being has a place of poverty. That's the place where God wants to dwell! 'How blessed are the poor,' Jesus says (Matthew 5:3). This means that our blessing is hidden in our poverty.
We are so inclined to cover up our poverty and ignore it that we often miss the opportunity to discover God, who dwells in it. Let's dare to see our poverty as the land where our treasure is hidden. ~ Henri J.M. Nouwen
J J M De Vries quotes by Henri J.M. Nouwen
I do not believe that any form of lasting community can exist where people do not share the same sense of what is just and what is not just. ~ J.M. Coetzee
