Honestly not really.

I can appreciate it sometimes (I have a fair few friends who love that kind of thing haha) but poetry just isn't my thing.

Poetry is easier to write than it is to read. I think it has a lot to do with subjectivity.

I concur with Ritter, although I do enjoy me some Divine Comedy by Dante, and Beowulf.

"Sometimes you have to stop going with the flow and start making a few waves of your own." -- Advice from one of my best friends, who also happens to be incarcerated. He was talking about how easy it is to be swept away with the rest of the world and that God expects us to be the salmon who swim upstream.

"People do not realize that the LACK of truth is worse than the actual truth." -- Another friend of mine, when I told him about a situation in which someone just decided to keep things from me instead of being upfront like I had asked.

"I'd rather ask God for the grace to deal with an UGLY TRUTH than be told a PRETTY LIE." -- Personal philosophy of mine.

"Some people's babies were brought by the stork... One of my babies was brought by a 747." -- My Mom, talking about two of her kids being adopted (my brother actually came on the 747; I arrived on a different kind of plane.)

Okay, now you have driven me into another personal quandary.

Would I rather meet you or your brother first?

As long as you don't resemble bad scotch or an ugly woman, I think you're pretty safe with meeting the brother.

"Good luck, son." - My mom to my late husband at our wedding. Seriously.

"I know that everyone at church is praying for God to heal me, but if He did, I would probably go back to being the same jerk I was before I got saved." - My beloved stepdad a couple of months before he died of lung cancer. (STOP SMOKING PLEASE IF YOU DO :( )

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination. - Nelson Mandela

It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see. - Henry David Thoreau

But he that dares not grasp the thorn should never crave the rose. - Anne Bronte (a personal favorite)

1. “You cannot go on 'explaining away' for ever: you will find that you have explained explanation itself away. You cannot go on 'seeing through' things for ever. The whole point of seeing through something is to see something through it.” C.S Lewis

2. “Reason is the natural order of truth; but imagination is the organ of meaning.” C.S Lewis

3. “Time is the brush of God, as he paints his masterpiece on the heart of humanity.” Ravi Zacharias

4. “Unless I understand the Cross, I cannot understand why my commitment to what is right must be precedence over what I prefer.” Ravi Zacharias

5. “Don't ever take a fence down until you know the reason it was put up.” G.K. Chesterton

6. “We have a right to believe whatever we want, but not everything we believe is right.” Ravi Zacharias

7. “Meaninglessness does not come from being weary of pain. Meaninglessness comes from being weary of pleasure.” G.K. Chesterton

8. “To complain that I could only be married once was like complaining that I had only been born once.” G.K. Chesterton

9. “The riddles of God are more satisfying than the solutions of man.” G.K. Chesterton

10. "Don't use words too big for the subject. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite." C.S Lewis
