Rango quote

Rango: "Now, remember son: stay in school, eat your veggies, and burn everything but Shakespeare"

Love this quote

"In a sense, the most approachable Person this world has ever seen was the Lord Jesus Christ."

- D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

Blessed are they that mourn

"So many people spend all their lives in trying to find... Christian joy. They say they would give the whole world if they could only find it, or could be like some other person who has it. Well, I suggest that in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred... They have failed to see that they must be convicted of sin before they can ever experience joy.  They do not like the doctrine of sin. They dislike it intensely and they object to its being preached. They want joy apart from the conviction of sin. But that is impossible; it can never be obtained. Those who are going to be converted and who wish to be truly happy and blessed are those who first of all mourn. Conviction is an essential preliminary to true conversion."

- from the chapter Blessed are they who mourn, by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones in the book "Studies in the Sermon on the Mount", pg 55-56.

Aaron Sorkin qoute

Mark Zuckerberg does not need me to defend him, but I can't tell you how much comments like this irritate me...

"I don’t want my fidelity to be to the truth; I want it to be to storytelling. What is the big deal about accuracy purely for accuracy’s sake, and can we not have the true be the enemy of the good?"

- Aaron Sorkin (screen writer for 'The Social Network)
