Quote of the Day

"I tried to be a grown-up but I have no interest in abiding by the adult rulebook. I want to do fun things that make me happy, which, for the record, including making vegetapals. You might call me a child. Good, for if adults had ever the slightest in-the-moment joy of a child, then frankly the world would be a better place."
- Miranda Hart (via)

Quote of the Day

"The Bible is a most comforting book; it is also a most discomfiting book. Eat this book; it will be sweet as honey your mouth; but it will also be bitter to your stomach. You can't reduce this book to what you can handle; you can't domesticate this book to what you are comfortable with. You can't make it your toy poodle, trained to respond to your commands."
- Eugene Peterson

- Sister Rosemary Nyirumbe (via)

"You have been now a long time in the deep, slow part of the river living. ;In that time strange inklings have shaped you: yr skin come transparent, little webblies between yr fingers & toes. You know what beings approach by the way the water blooms & reeks around you. ;Now the land life is strange to you, but as a frog you know both worlds & this is what makes you suited to the larger earth, & why you will survive vaster than the others. ;Put yr jellied feets on the silted banks & see the hoofed animals kneel before you."

Quote of the Day

"There's an incredible Tupac song that does not mince words in its hook: 'Motherf'er, watch ya mouth.' Granted, Tupac is issuing threats to associates of a mid-1990s hip-hop label, but these are still powerful words to take with you wherever you go. Just because there is an idea bouncing around in your head does not mean it needs to be sent out into the universe."
- Kelly Williams Brown, Adulting: How to Become a Grown-up in 468 Easy(ish) Steps
