God brought me to Himself at about the age of 4. My parents were devout believers and my Dad was in Bible College at the time. I remember hearing the gospel in Sunday School and I talked to my Mom about it one night before bed. It was clear to me that I was a sinner and I was not going to heaven if I died without accepting Jesus Christ and what He did on the cross for me. I was brought to Christ out of fear of going to hell. I didn't want to go there if I died and there was only one other choice in my mind as a 4 year old. I wanted to go to heaven. It was and is that simple.
Ben ZobristWe Gentiles owe our life to Israel. It is Israel who has brought us the message that God is one, and that God is a just and righteous God, and demands righteousness of his children, and demands nothing else. It is Israel who has brought us the message that God is our Father. It is Israel who, in bringing us the divine law, has laid the foundation of liberty.

Paul LaffoleyDad mistook - for some reason unbeknownst to me - he mistook his family for a platoon of Marines.

He ran the house - he had Saturday morning inspections for us, he had white-glove inspections for us as kids.

Vita Sackville-WestIn the wake of my talk with Earl, we had come to a mutual understanding about Lena, the only kind guys ever come to. Meaning, I hadnโt brought it up, and they hadnโt brought it up, and between us, we somehow all agreed to go on like this indefinitely. Donโt ask, donโt tell.

Philip LevineIt's just this long overdue. These people [ex-Nazi brought to trial] should be grateful to the apathy that exists there that prevented them from being brought to trial earlier.

Marco ArmentEnnio Morricone is royalty. He doesn't really do this a lot and Quentin brought him back [in Hateful Eight].

It's gonna be hard to not vote for him in a landslide. Probably the easiest win of the night.
Bun BThe bible teaches that woman brought sin and death into the world, that she precipitated the fall of the race, that she was arraigned before the judgment seat of Heaven, tried, condemned and sentenced. Marriage for her was to be a condition of bondage, maternity a period of suffering and anguish, and in silence and subjection, she was to play the role of a dependent on man's bounty for all her material wants, and for all the information she might desire...Here is the bible position of woman briefly summed up.

Saint Augustine'Hoop Dreams' brought us back to our roots in verรญtรฉ filmmaking. What we saw in the powerful emotional scenes within it - at nearly three hours long and with no star power - was an outreach to a different and more important audiences.

They would never watch a film about inner city families, but they watched 'Hoop Dreams.'

Margaret SangerLove has been taken away from the poets, and has been brought within the domain of true science. It may prove to be one of the great cosmic elementary forces. When the atom of hydrogen draws the atom of chlorine towards it to form the perfected molecule of hydrochloric acid, the force which it exerts may be intrinsically similar to that which draws me to you. Attraction and repulsion appear to be the primary forces. This is attraction.

Adolphe QueteletYou can describe [Portrait of the Artist as a Shadow of His Former Self] as a manifesto of sorts.

Tom FordNo free people ever existed, or can ever exist, without keeping the purse strings in their own hands. Where this is the case, they have a constitutional check upon the administration, which may thereby by brought into order without violence. But when such a power is not lodged in the people, oppression proceeds uncontrolled in its career, till the governed, transported into rage, seek redress in the midst of blood and confusion.
John DickinsonI do want to bring up the fact that Hillary Clinton were the one that brought up the words super-predator about young black youth.
