I believe that the end of life is silence in the love people have for you. I've actually been running through what people have said about the end. Religion says that the end is one thing, because it serves their purpose. But great thinkers alike haven't always agreed. Shakespeare knew how to say it better than anyone else. Hamlet says 'The rest is silence.' And when you think of the noises of everyday life, you realize how particularly desirable that is. Silence.","author":"Vincent Price","tags":["cult","horror","icon","victoria-price","vincent-price"],"id":117502,"author_id":"Vincent+Price"},{"text":"I would like to be a one-man multinational fashion phenomenon.","author":"Karl Lagerfeld","tags":["chanel","designer","fashion","genius","icon","karl-lagerfeld","life","multinational","one-man","people","phenomenon","quote","quotes"],"id":143598,"author_id":"Karl+Lagerfeld"},{"text":"Clear thinking at the wrong moment can stifle creativity.","author":"Karl Lagerfeld","tags":["art","clear","create","creativity","design","fashion-designer","icon","moment","right","stifle","time","wisdom","wrong"],"id":217710,"author_id":"Karl+Lagerfeld"},{"text":"The history of the Bible is one of perpetual revolution. In that light, we might begin to think about the Bible not so much as a fixed thing but as a dynamic, vital tradition. In light of its history, the Bible looks less like a rock than a river, continually flowing and changing, widening and narrowing, as it moves downstream. For some, thinking about the Bible as a river and not a rock is liberating. That rock has been a millstone around the neck and a tombstone that won’t be rolled away. But for others, seeing it this way can be disorienting. That rock has promised solid foundation in a stormy world. Cling to it or be swept away.","author":"Timothy Beal","tags":["bible","icon"],"id":254750,"author_id":"Timothy+Beal"},{"text":"I remember when Elvis died. I wrote my sentiments with words of a little girl in my dear diary, 'Many people wanted to see his body. They literally wanted to dig his bones out just to make sure that he was being buried. And I could not understand why. Why people could not leave him alone and let his soul rest in peace.' I couldn't get it. I didn't grasp it at that time. In a head of a little girl it was hard to believe that there were mysteries to be solved. That there ruled a conspiracy theory that people thought it was odd that he was buried and the casket was never opened. They didn't believe he was dead! Oh yes. Elvis Lives! And as the world needs his songs, his words, his thoughts, his love, his light more than ever before.","author":"Ana Claudia Antunes","tags":["actor","american-history","biography","biography-of-famous-people","celebrities","conspiracy-theories","culture","elvis","elvis-presley","elvis-presley-marilyn-monroe","facts","icon","king","musiciab","mysterious","mystery","mysticism","myth","novel","rock-and-roll","singer","songs","undercover"],"id":273933,"author_id":"Ana+Claudia+Antunes"},{"text":"My only career goal is to be an halloween icon.","author":"Nuno Roque","tags":["ambition","ambition-life-ambitions","ambition","ambition","ambitions","ambitious","career","career-development","career-goals","career-ladder","career-path","career-paths","career","careers","halloween","halloween","icon","iconic","iconic-artist","iconic-imagery","iconography","icons"],"id":303326,"author_id":"Nuno+Roque"},{"text":"It's through the cross that we reach the resurrection. We should be absolutely sure of this truth, and we should keep this cross hidden and not place it on the shoulders of others. It is our cross we have to carry. It is the one God has given us to go through into His resurrection. This is the one we should keep hidden.But there are crosses and crosses, some of our own making. These we should immediately discard. Some permitted by God for our sanctification. These we can share for they are also for the sanctification of others. True, we can help to carry other people's crosses and they can help to carry our crosses, but the operative word is 'hidden.'The Lord said, 'So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honoured by men,' and 'When you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, so that it will not be obvious to men that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.' (Mt 6:16-18)Our very hiddenness becomes a light if we do not complain, if we carry our cross manfully, ready to help in the carrying of other people's crosses. Then we become a light to our neighbour's feet because we become an icon of Christ—shining!","author":"Catherine de Hueck Doherty","tags":["bible","catholic","catholicism","charity","christ","christian","christianity","cross","holiness","humility","icon","jesus","jesus-christ","light","resurrection","sanctification","scripture","truth"],"id":415260,"author_id":"Catherine+de+Hueck+Doherty"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":11,"pages":2,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
