#Thinking Quotes

“Abstinence is approved of God.”
“Should each individual snowflake be held accountable for the avalanche?”

“We have come from God, and inevitably the myths woven by us, though they contain error, will also reflect a splintered fragment of the true light, the eternal truth that is with God. Indeed only by myth-making, only by becoming 'sub-creator' and inventing stories, can Man aspire to the state of perfection that he knew before the Fall. Our myths may be misguided, but they steer however shakily towards the true harbour, while materialistic 'progress' leads only to a yawning abyss and the Iron Crown of the power of evil.”
“I don't believe a team can lead itself. I'm a big believer in vision.”
“Dams are the temples of secular India and almost worshipped. They are huge, wet cement flags that wave in our minds. They're the symbol of nationalism to many.”
“You sell on emotion, but you justify a purchase with logic.”
“Soul ties. The thing that can make you hear an old-school slow jam and think of somebody you havenâ€™t seen in years. Soul ties. The thing that makes old people whoâ€™ve been together for years finish each otherâ€™s sentences. Donâ€™t you wish mama had told you when you were young that, when you lie with someone, you lie not just with her body but also with her soul? And whatever condition the other personâ€™s soul is in, you are guaranteed to take a piece with youâ€”whether you want to or not. Instead of being amazed at her booty, you should have focused on her mind.”
