I think we all need to learn to like ourselves-just the way we are. And if there are moderate ways to improve our looks and if we're doing it for the right reasons (not to impress our friends!), then maybe it's just fine. Beauty is very subjective-meaning that it all depends on your personal taste. I think that's why God made us all different. So instead of turning ourselves into cookie-cutter images of the latest fashion icon, why not take a moment to enjoy our differences? ~ Melody Carlson
Melody Carlson quotes by Melody Carlson
New life, new hope, new joy will start when this is given from the heart. ~ Melody Carlson
Melody Carlson quotes by Melody Carlson
Sometimes we have to let our dreams go in order to allow God to bring them back to us - in his way and his timing. ~ Melody Carlson
Melody Carlson quotes by Melody Carlson
I grew up in a difficult environment, but I became a Christian as a teen. My mom and my sister soon became Christians also. ~ Melody Carlson
Melody Carlson quotes by Melody Carlson
But fear is confusing. It tears you in two. Half of you wants to run far, far away, but the other half is paralyzed, frozen, immovable. And the hard part is that you never know which half is going to win. ~ Melody Carlson
Melody Carlson quotes by Melody Carlson
And to the casual observer it looks like I have moved on since I go around wearing my little happy mask all day. I smile and laugh and carry on like my heart's still in one piece, but beneath it all, I am dying. ~ Melody Carlson
Melody Carlson quotes by Melody Carlson
By his stripes you are healed. ~ Melody Carlson
Melody Carlson quotes by Melody Carlson
Sometimes it's good to take a break. Just as long as you remember it's only a break. ~ Melody Carlson
Melody Carlson quotes by Melody Carlson
Here was this really nice guy who happened to be uber-shy ... and with just a little encouragement, he was suddenly smiling and joking and having fun. Really, what had taken them so long? ~ Melody Carlson
Melody Carlson quotes by Melody Carlson
I do not understand what makes mothers think they are walking-talking thermometers.But I think somewhere during the process of giving birth and changing diapers, they actually begin to belive they have this supernatural sense. ~ Melody Carlson
Melody Carlson quotes by Melody Carlson
Being a teenager these days is not for the faint of heart. ~ Melody Carlson
Melody Carlson quotes by Melody Carlson
I mean all this focus on how we look on the outside. It's just all wrong ~ Melody Carlson
Melody Carlson quotes by Melody Carlson
Nothing wrong with taking time to figure out your life and make sure you really like where your life is going. I mean, it's better to do it now than when it's too late. ~ Melody Carlson
Melody Carlson quotes by Melody Carlson
I welcome each new day with a hopeful expectancy that I, too, will rise above the ordinary. For I am not content to live a merely "normal" life or settle for an average existence. No, I am destined for more
much, much more. ~ Melody Carlson
Melody Carlson quotes by Melody Carlson
Sometimes things seem good at first ... but we learn the hard way that they weren't as good as we thought. ~ Melody Carlson
Melody Carlson quotes by Melody Carlson
It takes a good habit to replace a bad habit. ~ Melody Carlson
Melody Carlson quotes by Melody Carlson
It made me wonder, if everyone is so connected to their phones-talking and texting and whatever else it is they do all day long-how do they ever have time to notice the beauty of God's creation all around them? How do they have time to connect to God? ~ Melody Carlson
Melody Carlson quotes by Melody Carlson
Instead of thanking God for my two strong legs that are able to run and jump and climb, I whined about my "thunder thighs" and "thick" ankles. Instead of rejoicing that I have two capable arms that can lift and carry and balance my body, I complained about the flab that hung beneath them. I have been totally and unbelievably ungrateful for everything. Like a completely spoiled brat, I took my healthy body for granted. I criticized it and despised it. With crystal clarity, I know that I do not deserve the good health that God has mysteriously blessed me with. Not only have I been unappreciative of my body and its amazing working parts, I tortured it by overexercising, and I put my entire health at serious risk by starving myself. What on earth was wrong with me? As I watch these kids with their less-than-perfect bodies, I feel so thoroughly ashamed of myself. I mean, how could I have been so stupid and shallow and self-centered? ~ Melody Carlson
Melody Carlson quotes by Melody Carlson
You guys are living life for yourselves. You're leaving God totally out of it, and as a result things can get pretty messed up. ~ Melody Carlson
Melody Carlson quotes by Melody Carlson
Next time, you might want to look before you leap. ~ Melody Carlson
Melody Carlson quotes by Melody Carlson
Caroline smiled and waved and blew kisses to both of them as she exited the building. But once outside she felt sad and let down, like the party was over and it was time to go home. And yet she remembered her promise to God. She was going to trust that he knew what was best for her. ~ Melody Carlson
Melody Carlson quotes by Melody Carlson
You're down now, Jordan, but only for awhile. I think God is giving you a chance to really look at your life and decide just how you want to live it.
That's right, said Kara. You can keep on living it for yourself or invite God to take over. ~ Melody Carlson
Melody Carlson quotes by Melody Carlson
The best way to get past something was usually to simply do something else, right? ~ Melody Carlson
Melody Carlson quotes by Melody Carlson
So, there you have it, you get up and go to school, thinking it's just another ordinary day and the next thing you know, something totally unexpected happens! Life's like that. I guess it's like Forrest Gump said about the box of chocolates-you just never know what you're going to get! ~ Melody Carlson
Melody Carlson quotes by Melody Carlson
Sometimes you have to just go for what you want. Take the risk in order to get the reward. ~ Melody Carlson
Melody Carlson quotes by Melody Carlson
We're not always ready to receive God's love. And we're not prepared to accept that it comes in a variety of ways. Often when we least expect it, God's love can show up in the form of something or someone we aren't happy to see-something or someone we want to push away or even run from. And, let me tell you, God's love can make us downright uncomfortable at times. ~ Melody Carlson
Melody Carlson quotes by Melody Carlson
What if?..
What if I am all to see?
What if life is only this? And Ignorance is bliss?
What if love is only pain? And nothing can be gained by living everyday
And there is no better way?
What then? ~ Melody Carlson
Melody Carlson quotes by Melody Carlson
...I can hang on to God and trust that He knows. ~ Melody Carlson
Melody Carlson quotes by Melody Carlson
If you want to have a good friend, you first must be a good friend. ~ Melody Carlson
Melody Carlson quotes by Melody Carlson
God planned for our lives to connect. Let's make sure we keep it that way. ~ Melody Carlson
Melody Carlson quotes by Melody Carlson
How can this be? How could we have been just sitting there, happily eating our lunch, and then Jess announces that she's gay? Like who does that anyway? And how is it possible that I never even saw this coming? I mean if you best friend has no clue that you're gay, then who does? ~ Melody Carlson
Melody Carlson quotes by Melody Carlson
It seems totally unfair that the way we look matters so much. I mean, why can't we just get over this gotta-be-thin-and-beautiful thing? Why can't we just accept ourselves and others for what we are? ~ Melody Carlson
Melody Carlson quotes by Melody Carlson
It's amazing the things you realize
when you lose someone:
you get mad at yourself for not
saying the things you could've a million times,
you take for granted the days
spent doing nothing when
you could have been with them.
Anyone can be taken,
at any time in our lives,
but we always wait until they're gone to say
the things we never had the courage to before. ~ Melody Carlson
Melody Carlson quotes by Melody Carlson
I have become convinced that God thoroughly enjoys fixing and saving things that are broken. That means that no matter how hurt and defeated you feel, no matter how badly you have been damaged, God can repair you. God can give anyone a second chance. ~ Melody Carlson
Melody Carlson quotes by Melody Carlson
The Lake

In spring of youth it was my lot
To haunt of the wide world a spot
The which I could not love the less-
So lovely was the loneliness
Of a wild lake, with black rock bound,
And the tall pines that towered around.

But when the Night had thrown her pall
Upon that spot, as upon all,
And the mystic wind went by
Murmuring in melody-
Then-ah then I would awake
To the terror of the lone lake.

Yet that terror was not fright,
But a tremulous delight-
A feeling not the jewelled mine
Could teach or bribe me to define-
Nor Love-although the Love were thine.

Death was in that poisonous wave,
And in its gulf a fitting grave
For him who thence could solace bring
To his lone imagining-
Whose solitary soul could make
An Eden of that dim lake. ~ Edgar Allan Poe
Melody Carlson quotes by Edgar Allan Poe
I've always been a fan of melody and emotional melancholy, whether it was Rites of Spring or Tears for Fears or Neil Young. If I hear a song that has a sweet melody, I'm a sucker for it, whether it's Linkin Park or Little Richard. ~ Dave Grohl
Melody Carlson quotes by Dave Grohl
Still, despite all our noise, this universe hinges on a melody, that's the dismal truth of it. Oh, we can propagandize all we wish, it doesn't change the fabric of things. This universe was not made for the fallen, only the redeemed. ~ Geoffrey Wood
Melody Carlson quotes by Geoffrey Wood
Music has an alchemical quality. And there's more than one voice on the piano. You have two hands. One can be playing a celestial melody while the other is doing quite the opposite. The joining of the profane and the sacred, or the passionate and the compassionate, happens right there on the keyboard. ~ Tori Amos
Melody Carlson quotes by Tori Amos
Mek sat in the cab, doing some self-maintenance work. Instead of a verbal reply, I got a text message: SYLVATRONICS INDUSTRIAL UNIT A023 PROCESSING AN REINTEGRATION WILL BE COMPLETE IN 57 SECONDS. VERBAL COMMUNICATIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE IN ABOUT 65 SECONDS.

Oh well, I've caught rookie driving partners in the middle of all sorts of things. At least with robots you don't have to guess. ~ Paul Carlson
Melody Carlson quotes by Paul Carlson
Rhythm and melody enter into the soul of the well-instructed youth and produce there a certain mental harmony hardly obtainable in any other way. ... thus music, too, is concerned with the principles of love in their application to harmony and rhythm. ~ Plato
Melody Carlson quotes by Plato
Love is like the piano there are black and white and must play both for a beautiful melody. ~ Khaled Naili
Melody Carlson quotes by Khaled Naili
Make living your life with absolute integrity and kindness your first priority. ~ Richard Carlson
Melody Carlson quotes by Richard Carlson
Bill Clinton is a liar, a perverted kind of a guy anyway, and he is always stroking black folks rather than telling them the truth. ~ Tucker Carlson
Melody Carlson quotes by Tucker Carlson
I'm completely open about the fact that I don't love every genre of metal. I like what I like. It's got to have some vocal quality and some semblance of melody. ~ Eddie Trunk
Melody Carlson quotes by Eddie Trunk
Well, it's one of the things that will. Words are good, and words help us become the leading species on earth to the point where we are now ready to wipe ourselves off the earth. But I think that all the arts are needed, and sports too, and cooking, food, and all these different ways of communication. Smiles, looking into eyes directly, all these different means of communication are needed to save this world. But certainly a great melody ~ Pete Seeger
Melody Carlson quotes by Pete Seeger
I know when to say no and when to say yes. I take responsibility for my choices. The victim? She went somewhere else. The only one who can truly victimize me is myself, and 99 percent of the time I choose to do that no more. But I need to continue to remember the key principles: boundaries, letting go, forgiveness after feeling my feelings - not before, self-expression, loving others but loving myself, too. ~ Melody Beattie
Melody Carlson quotes by Melody Beattie
I have an attraction to strange
and unusual things.
I find them interesting,
spellbinding,
utterly fascinating. ~ Melody Lee
Melody Carlson quotes by Melody  Lee
Good mother knows her children, knows everything about them, the good and the bad. A great mother loves them regardless. ~ Melody Anne
Melody Carlson quotes by Melody Anne
Space is still filled with the noise of destruction and annihilation, the shouts of self-assurance and arrogance, the weeping of despair and helplessness. But round about the horizon the eternal realities stand silent in their age-old longing. There shines on them already the first mild light of the radiant fulfillment to come. From afar sound the first notes as of pipes and voices, not yet discernable as a song or melody. It is all far off still, and only just announced and foretold. But it is happening, today. ~ Alfred Delp
Melody Carlson quotes by Alfred Delp
When you hear the voice of Rosa Ponselle, you hear a fountain of melody blessed by the Lord. ~ Mary Garden
Melody Carlson quotes by Mary Garden
Life is not unlike cinema. Each scene has its own music, and the music is created for the scene, woven to it in ways we do not understand. No matter how much we may love the melody of a bygone day or imagine the song of a future one, we must dance within the music of today, or we will always be out of step, stumbling around in something that doesn't suit the moment. ~ Lisa Wingate
Melody Carlson quotes by Lisa Wingate
The music gushed from the loudspeaker in a swirl of shadowed melody. Since Vienna died, all waltzes are shadowed. (I'll be waiting) ~ Raymond Chandler
Melody Carlson quotes by Raymond Chandler
A codependent person is one who has let another person's behavior affect him or her, and who is obsessed with controlling that person's behavior. ~ Melody Beattie
Melody Carlson quotes by Melody Beattie
When I first played '1234' it was on stage in San Francisco at some kind of, like, sticky-floored club. And it felt like a punk song. I mean it's ridiculous to say that now, but it had that kind of, like, piercing straight melody. And then this fist-pumping ending, you know that pa-dap-pada. ~ Feist
Melody Carlson quotes by Feist
I had wanted to hate you that day. Believe me, I had. And then suddenly, staring at me incredulously, your extra half-tooth had blurted out aloud, 'You get dimples on both cheeks!' your immaculate lisp intact, on both the 's'es. I remember that second, the way your hair fell, the nankhatais on my tongue and the strains of Akhtar's melody in the air. I had fallen in love with you then. I miss that second.'
('Left from Dhakeshwari') ~ Kunal Sen
Melody Carlson quotes by Kunal Sen
Working from photos makes you a little more analytical, a little more cerebral, because you're less connected to the intensity of life. ~ George L. Carlson
Melody Carlson quotes by George L. Carlson
You can put diamonds on their necks, but it's little more than a leash when the gems aren't given out of affection. You ~ Melody Anne
Melody Carlson quotes by Melody Anne
She's the kind of girl who brings you to the moon without you even being aware. The kind of girl you trip in love with, The kind of girl you never forget. ~ Melody Lee
Melody Carlson quotes by Melody  Lee
He has something of the same feeling about the hymn singing, I am told. Much as he loves it himself, and music is in him to his very fingertips, be feels - I judge both from the hearsay and from watching him break into the midst of the singing when, in a way they have in Wales, they repeat over and over the same stirring melody - that too much singing moves only surface emotions and takes the congregations' mind from the deeper influence of prayer and close communion with God. He believes completely in the efficacy of prayer, and he has for many years spent a considerable amount of time daily upon his knees. ~ Evan Roberts
Melody Carlson quotes by Evan Roberts
Letting go helps us to to live in a more peaceful state of mind and helps restore our balance. It allows others to be responsible for themselves and for us to take our hands off situations that do not belong to us. This frees us from unnecessary stress. ~ Melody Beattie
Melody Carlson quotes by Melody Beattie
But when you get to a song, not only do you have to do a vocal melody, you have to write words and not be redundant and make some semblance of a story. ~ Glenn Danzig
Melody Carlson quotes by Glenn Danzig
When you wonder what is coming, tell yourself the best is coming, the very best life and love have to offer, the best God and His universe have to send. Then open your hands to receive it. It's yours. ~ Melody Beattie
Melody Carlson quotes by Melody Beattie
Let your mind and soul be at ease. Don't grasp and grab for the magic and miracles. When you reside in that place of stillness, the joy, miracles, and magic you're seeking will find you. ~ Melody Beattie
Melody Carlson quotes by Melody Beattie
I write anywhere. I'm always banging around on the dashboard. Whatever I'm doing. I can make music out of anything. Whenever a song hits me, I'll pick some sort of melody or rhythm out on it, and kind of enhance the song. ~ Dolly Parton
Melody Carlson quotes by Dolly Parton
The world is never quiet, even its silence eternally resounds with the same notes, in vibrations which escape our ears. As for those that we perceive, they carry sounds to us, occasionally a chord, never a melody. ~ Albert Camus
Melody Carlson quotes by Albert Camus
I always write lyrics first and the rhythm and the melody come from the lyrics. It always comes from the lyrics: words have rhythm and words have melody. ~ Ken Hensley
Melody Carlson quotes by Ken Hensley
Being a purely instrumental album, it makes a musical statement, not a religious one, and I hope that people can feel the emotion of the great melodies, even without the words. ~ Kenny G
Melody Carlson quotes by Kenny G
There is honor in all work, in all tasks, but take it one step further. Make what you do a labor of love. Then your work will truly touch and change the world in the way you desire. The work you do, whatever your chosen field, will be work that heals. ~ Melody Beattie
Melody Carlson quotes by Melody Beattie
The principle of the endless melody is the perpetual becoming of a music that never had any reason for starting, any more than it has any reason for ending. ~ Igor Stravinsky
Melody Carlson quotes by Igor Stravinsky
Gently with sobs at finally hearing the words she'd yearned to hear for so long. ~ Melody Anne
Melody Carlson quotes by Melody Anne
Do I start with the lyrics? No. Quite honestly, it's the opposite. I generally get the melody first - I kinda fiddle around on the guitar and work out a melody. The lyrics are there to flesh out the tone of the music. I've tried before to do things the other way around, but it never seems to work. Obviously, I spend a lot of time on my lyrics, I take them very seriously, but they're kinda secondary. Well, equal, maybe. I think sometimes that if you write a poem, it should remain as just a poem, just ... words. ~ Iron & Wine
Melody Carlson quotes by Iron & Wine
I can draw with sound. That's the most useful thing I learned in terms of what my craft is ... The arrangements were mine. They were little lines and stuff that I had written myself ... And I was locked into this idea that vocals didn't count, melodies didn't count, songwriting craftsmanship didn't count. The only thing that counted was high arching guitar solos. ~ Linda Ronstadt
Melody Carlson quotes by Linda Ronstadt
I'm for moral blackmail when it comes to putting away child molesters. ~ Tucker Carlson
Melody Carlson quotes by Tucker Carlson
'Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow,' if you go through the lyrics, is such a haunting melody, and the words are, for a pop song, pretty deep and dark. ~ Jake Epstein
Melody Carlson quotes by Jake Epstein
Where you see scars I see art
Where you see flaws
I see incredible beauty Where you see failures
I see knowledge and growth Everything is perception You see with your eyes
I see with my soul It's how you rock And how I roll. ~ Melody Lee
Melody Carlson quotes by Melody  Lee
Whether on Ida's shady brow,
Or in the chambers of the East,
The chambers of the sun, that now
From ancient melody have ceas'd;

Whether in Heav'n ye wander fair,
Or the green corners of the earth,
Or the blue regions of the air,
Where the melodious winds have birth;

Whether on crystal rocks ye rove,
Beneath the bosom of the sea
Wand'ring in many a coral grove,
Fair Nine, forsaking Poetry!

How have you left the ancient love
That bards of old enjoy'd in you!
The languid strings do scarcely move!
The sound is forc'd, the notes are few!

- "To the Muses ~ William Blake
Melody Carlson quotes by William Blake
It's not always easy for a father to understand the interests and ways of his son. It seems the songs of our children may be in keys we've never tried. The melody of each generation emerges from all that's gone before. Each one of us contributes in some unique way to the composition of life. ~ Fred Rogers
Melody Carlson quotes by Fred Rogers
Death is the greatest goal of anyone. It is something no other living human can achieve ~ Davis Carlson
Melody Carlson quotes by Davis Carlson
