Will anything happen? Will the angel come today?

Donald TrumpAwareness means that whatsoever is happening in the moment is happening with complete consciousness; you are present there. If you are present when anger is happening, anger cannot happen. It can happen only when you are fast asleep.

All that is called sin is not possible if you are aware. So, in fact, there is only one sin and that is unawareness.

There is no equality of outcome.

Ray BradburySouth Africa used to seem so far away. Then it came home to me. It began to signify the meaning of white hatred here. That was what the sheets and the suits and the ties covered up, not very well. That was what the cowardly guys calling me names from their speeding truck wanted to happen to me, to all of me: to my people. That was what would happen to me if I walked around the corner into the wrong neighborhood. That was Birmingham. That was Brooklyn. That was Reagan. That was the end of reason. South Africa was how I came to understand that I am not against war; I am against losing the war.
June JordanBad things will happen and good things too. Your life will be full of surprises. Miracles happen only where there has been suffering. So taste your grief to the fullest.

So whatever you're passionate about, whatever your hopes and dreams are, you have to go full-steam ahead.

Or maybe one that wasn't going to happen, does.
Ian StewartIf Bernie Sanders was the nominee, wherever he went, the crowds would be big and you'd be scared to death of them. You would be worried sick.

None of that is ever gonna happen happen with Hillary Clinton, unless they pay for it, unless they buy it.

Audiences may come to theaters to see the work of stage managers, directors and producers, but the only people who can communicate theater magic to audiences, through ideas and emotions, are the actors. They are the only ones who can communicate this by themselves, and if necessary, they can get along without you. But you can't make theater without the actor.

It's not just a concept. It's actually a reality.
