The symptoms of fear have always been the same.

They were the same when men had to face wild beasts and they are the same today.

Blood drains away from the face and epidermis, to avoid blood loss. It's why people turn pale.

The intestines relax and release everything, so there will be no toxic matter left to contaminate the organism. It's why people "shit themselves".

The body initially refuses to move, so as not to provoke the predator by any sudden movement. It's why people freeze up.

 

Someone's spirit has no name.

It is pure truth and inhabits a particular body for a period of time, and will, one day, leave it.

God won't bother asking "What's your name?" when the soul arrives for judgement.

When Moses asked God for His name, God answered:

"I Am Who I Am."

 

If you find a watch in the desert you don't assume that it was spontaneously created.

You figure that somebody made it. That there is a watchmaker.

 

Women, when searching for a meaning to life or for the path of knowledge, always identify with one of four classic archetypes.

The Virgin is the one whose search springs from her complete independence, and everything she learns is the fruit of her ability to face challenges alone.

The Martyr finds her way to self-knowledge through pain, surrender and suffering.

The Saint finds her true reason for living in unconditional love and in her ability to give without asking anything in return.

Finally, the Witch justifies her existence by going in search of complete and limitless pleasure.

 

In a forest of a hundred thousand trees, no two leaves are alike. 

And no two journeys along the same path are alike.

 

You don't need to climb a mountain to know that it's high

 

How can we be so arrogant? 

The planet is, was, and always will be stronger than us.

We can't destroy it; 

if we overstep the mark, the planet will simply erase us from its surface and carry on existing. 

Why don't they start talking about not letting the planet destroy us?

 

And now you ask in your heart,

‘How shall we distinguish that which is good in pleasure from that which is not good?’

Go to your fields and your gardens, 

and you shall learn that it is the pleasure of the bee to gather honey of the flower,

But it is also the pleasure of the flower to yield its honey to the bee.

For to the bee a flower is a fountain of life,

And to the flower a bee is a messenger of love,

And to both, bee and flower, 

the giving and the receiving of pleasure is a need and an ecstasy.

 

There is no such thing as a small Miracle 

 

We take our miracles where we find them. 

We reach across the gap and sometimes, against all odds, against all logic, we touch.

 

 Boundaries don't keep other people out,

they fence you in

 you can waste your life drawing lines

... or you can live your life crossing them

One can appreciate another's words without dissecting them

Though, on occasion, sometimes dissection is the only thing that will do

The divine punishment of a sinner
mirrors the sin being punished

All gods demand sacrifice

All of our endings can be found in our beginnings.

History repeats itself,
And there is no escape.

All psychopaths are narcissists

They love to read about themselves

Forgiveness

is too great and difficult for one person . 

It requires two 

The Betrayer and The Betrayed. 

Better to live true to yourself for an instant than never know it

God can't save any of us

because its inelegant.

Elegance is more important than suffering.

That's His design.

Nobody can be fully aware

of another human being unless they love them.

By that love you see potential in your beloved.

Through that love you allow your beloved to see their potential.

Expressing that love, your beloved's potential comes true.

The Devil has been a yoke on the neck of humanity
since they first began to think and dream

The next time you have the instinct to help someone ...

You might consider crushing them instead.

It might save you a great deal of trouble.

Morality doesn't exist.

Only morale.

The essence of the worst in the human spirit
Is not found in the crazy people.

Ugliness is found in the faces of the crowd .

Extreme acts of cruelty require a high level of empathy

 

We look for shelter in a storm, but sometimes, we can't find it. 

Sometimes, we're at the mercy of the winds. We have nothing left but to accept it. 

When we face the storm, no matter how scary, no matter how much power it has over us, when we face it, we find we are the shelter. We'll survive. 

We find ourselves coming out the other side stronger for it.

 We might even find ourselves happy

 

Scars are the paler pain of survival

received unwillingly and displayed in the language of injury.

 

 

Almost all human cells reproduce on a cycle. 

Up to ten percent of your heart is replaced each year. Red blood cells are replaced every four months, skin cells every two weeks. 

But neurons, the cells that make up the brain and spinal cord, don't regenerate. 

It turns out that under the right conditions, neurons can recover. If they can break from normal operations and focus on healing, they have a chance at regrowth. 

It's human nature to wanna fix what's broken. 

We may not be able to exactly replicate what we lost, but in its place, we'll grow something new. It's a long process, but it happens. Slowly but surely. 

Until we have what we need.

 

A man who wants to die feels angry and full of life and desperate and bored and exhausted, all at the same time;

 he wants to fight everyone,

 and he wants to curl up in a ball and hide in a cupboard somewhere. 

He wants to say sorry to everyone, and he wants everyone to know just how badly they've all let him down

 

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. 

Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. 

Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. 

And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. 

They somehow already know what you truly want to become. 

Everything else is secondary

 

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, 

but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming 

"Wow! What a Ride!

 

Stories heard but not recalled.

Letters too.

Words filling my head. Fragmenting like artillery shells.

Shrapnel, like syllables, flying everywhere. Terrible syllables. Sharp cracked. Traveling at murderous speed.

Tearing through it all in a very, very bad irreparable way.

 

Very soon he will vanish completely in the wings of his own wordless stanza.

 

Scientists estimate the universe unfolded from its state of infinite destiny* - a moment commonly referred to as "the big bang" - approximately 1.3-2 x 10^10 years ago. *Typo: "destiny" should read "density.

 

the finest act of seeing is necessarily always the act of not seeing something else.

Superman

 There is always that discussion about whether Superman or Clark is the real personality 

This has been covered in comics then on screen 

Taking it that Kal El never got to grow up on Krypton under Jor El 

Like how Tarzan was not the Lord Greystoke he would have been if he grew up in England

 The Dean Cain version works on "Clark is who I am Superman is what I can do " 

The Chris films are taken as the description given in Kill Bill 

Superman was born Superman 

Clark is the disguise

 And it has been noted about how Clark was rejected by Lana while Superman is accepted by Lois 

It is Clarks human emotion that comes out here 

Jor El tells Superman he is not to interfere with human history

 Jonathan over rides this 

You are here for a reason 

So at this point Clark not Kal El truly becomes Superman, no restriction, pushes his power to the limit and literally turns back time
