Petronius

“To be the father of a nation is a great honor, but to be the father of a family is a greater joy.”
“The reality is that living digitally rewires our brains for perpetual motion, shallow surface thinking, and compulsive/addictive behaviors. Because our world is only going to become more tech-driven with each passing day, unless we find ways to counterbalance these detrimental effects, we'll remain spiritual babes, drinking milk for the rest of our lives instead of the solid food God has for us.”
“Remembering and seeing are not the same, and that is why memories are of little use to us in forming loving relationships.”
“We may seem competent, but by the end of next century there will be new deserts, new ruins.”
“Religion and liberty are inseparable. Religion is voluntary, and cannot, and ought not to be forced. This is a fundamental article of the American creed, without distinction of sect or party. Liberty, both civil and religious, is an American instinct. Such liberty is impossible on the basis of a union of church and state, where the one of necessity restricts or controls the other. It requires a friendly separation, where each power is entirely independent in its own sphere.”

“The best tip for writing is just to write; to sit down and write, to begin doing it and not to be scared by the blank page.”
“I'm going to keep proving people wrong, whether it's my record label, other artists.”

“The worst readers are those who behave like plundering troops: they take away a few things they can use, dirty and confound the remainder, and revile the whole.”
