“In the faces of men and women, I see God.”

The powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse.

Not I, nor anyone else can travel that road for you. You must travel it by yourself. It is not far. It is within reach. Perhaps you have been on it since you were born, and did not know. Perhaps it is everywhere – on water and land.

A great city is that which has the greatest men and women.

All is procession; the universe is a procession with measured and beautiful motion.

The smallest sprout shows there is really no death.

To drive free, to love free, to court destruction with taunts, to feed the remainder of life with one hour of fullness and freedom – one brief hour of madness and joy.

Every hour of every day is an unspeakably perfect miracle.

Some people are so much sunshine to the square inch.

Whoever degrades another degrades me, And whatever is done or said returns at last to me.

In the confusion we stay with each other, happy to be together, speaking without uttering a single word.

I hate commas in the wrong places.

I swear to you, there are divine things more beautiful than words can tell.

The real war will never get in the books.

The ecstasy is so short but the forgetting is so long.

Give me odorous at sunrise a garden of beautiful flowers where I can walk undisturbed.

I accept reality and dare not question it.

To look life in the face, always, to look life in the face, and to know it for what it is, at last, to love it for what it is, and then, to put it away.

Faces can lie. Backsides can’t.

The challenges we face are never as important as the challenges we face up to.

If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face – for ever.

The truth of anything doesn’t matter anymore. What’s right doesn’t matter. What makes economic common sense doesn’t matter. I’m blue in the face over it.

We see the face of Jesus in the faces of the hungry, the thirsty, the naked, the sick, strangers and prisoners

And I fell violently on my face.

It’s important to keep challenging myself and try to come up with some new face every now and again.
