Belief

"What are you doing to me?” he asked the crow, tearful. Teaching you how to fly. “I can’t fly!” You’re flying right now. “I’m falling!” Every flight begins with a fall, the crow said."

"Silence is a lie that screams at the light."

"What had happened still seemed implausible. A person was present your entire life, and then one day she disappeared and never came back. It resisted belief."

"Mithorden said it well," she said finally. "It's worshipping death. They say they follow light. But, in the end, they're really following desolation, division, the end of things. You should hear their prophecies -- war, destruction, only special chosen people are spared." She felt sad and angry. Worse, she wondered to what ends people who believed these things would go to assert their views."

"One of the first signs of the beginning of understanding is the wish to die. This life appears unbearable, another unattainable. One is no longer ashamed of wanting to die; one asks to be moved from the old cell, which one hates, to a new one, which one willl only in time come to hate. In this there is also a residue of belief that during the move the master will chance to come along the corridor, look at the prisoner and say: "This man is not to be locked up again, He is to come with me."

"You will always think that you cant do it, you may think that the idea you have is useless, but the idea you only have can change your life."

"Now is not the time for bigots and racists. No time for sexists and homophobes. Now, more than ever, is the time for ARTISTS. It’s time for us to rise above and to create. To show humanity. To spread hope. We must prevent society from destroying itself, from losing its way. Now is the time for love."

"God is my strength and my defense. When I am weak, he makes me strong. When I am broken, he makes me whole."

"What am I searching for? Maybe its the beliefs I had as a child, that the world is a nice place, that people are genuinely who they say they are, that life is not simply what it is, where the sun shines and the stars glitter for me. Where am I going? I do not know but maybe I am just searching for those beliefs that lead to a happy ending..."

"I sometimes find myself sitting here not watching an uninteresting movie and contemplating the future. I don't always know what to do, but I have faith that I'll figure it out somehow."

"I know it is difficult to believe in your own courage or fortitude when everything inside of you feels weak and shattered. But do not believe what you feel. You will not be easily broken."

"Once you start questioning your beliefs, that's when it's all over. It is truly doubt that kills our conviction."

"With God, the impossible is not an obstacle but an invitation."

"Hope is not some thin thing that is subject to the winds of fate. Rather, it is something crafted hard by the hands of God."

"Hope is not some thin thing that is subject to the winds of fate, but it is crafted hard by the hands of God."

"Just please understand that everyone is going through a rough time as well. Even if they are hiding behind money or a simple smile. We are all continuously stumbling as we go about our lives. If we had perfect lives we'd all be perfect people. Only thing we can learn to do is endure or we will not be happy and happiness is the closest thing to perfect."

"Once faith dies, the death of hope follows hard on its heels."

"Maybe not today, Maybe not tomorrow. But somewhere down the line, there has to be a light."

"The love of one individual is far more powerful than the hate of one million."

"Belief isn't simply a thing for fair times and bright days, I think. What is belief- what is faith- if you don't continue in it after failure."
