I looked around the store and what i saw was not very encouraging. there were rows and rows of violent toys...aisle after aisle of training devices for recreational slaughter. no wonder our world was such a mean and violent place...if we teach children that killing is fun, can we really be surprised if now and then someone is smart enough to learn?

More From Jeff Lindsay

I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. they don't teach you how to love somebody. they don't teach you how to be famous. they don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. they don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. they don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. they don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. they don't teach you anything worth knowing.
Love School Optimistic
I am determined not to kill, not to let others kill, and not to condone any act of killing in the world, in my thinking, and in my way of life. we cannot support any act of killing; no killing can be justified. but not to kill is not enough ... if in your thinking you allow the killing to go on, you also break this precept. we must be determined not to condone killing, even in our minds.

They'd had fun, for sure. they laughed and enjoyed being together. but if she was painfully honest with herself, something was missing. something in the way tim looked at her. she remembered her mom's word. "i saw the way he looked at you...he adores you." maybe that was it. tim looked at her on a surface level. he smiled and seemed happy to see her. but when cody looked at her, there were no layers left, nothing her didn't reveal, nothing he couldn't see. he didn't really look at her so much as he looked into her. to the deepest, most real places in her heart and soul.

Wonder is like grace, in that it's not a condition we grasp; it grasps us. wonder is not an obligatory element in the search for truth. we can seek truth without wonder's assistance. but seek is all we'll do; there will be no finding. unless wonder descends, unlocks us ... truth is unable to enter. wonder may be the aura of truth, the halo of it. or something even closer. wonder may be the caress of truth, touching our very skin.
Grace Touching Skins
It's never too early to teach your children about the tool of money. teach them how to work for it and they learn pride and self-respect. teach them how to save it and they learn security and self-worth. teach them how to be generous with it and they learn love.

The pope is encouraging immigrants to come here. he's encouraging us to let them come here. he's encouraging us to stop any efforts whatsoever to prevent them from coming here. why, if capitalism's so bad? 'cause if he gets what he wants and everybody else along with him, we're not gonna be capitalists very much long. here's what the pope said about trump.

My early childhood equipped me really well for my portrait work: the quick encounter, where you are not going to know the subject for very long. these days i am much more comfortable with the fifteen minute relationship, than i am with a life long relationship.
