{"quotes":[{"text":"Young people today are deeply passionate and crave authentic life based on truth. They're hungry to make a difference. They're willing to take a stand for whatever they believe, even to die for a cause. When they sell out to Jesus, they'll pursue a standard of righteousness that is greater than anything you and I ever saw growing up. Don't water it down. Don't lower the standard. And don't just settle for raising it-raise it higher. Believe in your children. Talk with them. Speak well of them. Encourage them. Pray for them. Celebrate the victories with them. Affirm their growth. We can raise a generation that, although they'll make mistakes, will sell out completely when Jesus grips them. They'll give Him everything. They'll make you proud by being even weirder than you are.","author":"Craig Groeschel","tags":["a","affirm","although","an","and","anything","are","authentic","based","being","believe","by","can","cause","celebrate","children","completely","crave","deeply","die","difference","don-t","down","encourage","even","ever","everything","for","generation","give","god","greater","grips","growing","growth","higher","him","hungry","i","in","is","it","jesus","just","life","lower","make","mistakes","of","on","out","parents","passionate","people","pray","proud","pursue","raise","raising","righteousness","saw","sell","settle","speak","stand","standard","take","talk","than","that","the","their","them","they","they-ll","they-re","to","today","truth","up","victories","water","we","weird","weirder","well","whatever","when","will","willing","with","you","young","your"],"id":22696,"author_id":"Craig+Groeschel"},{"text":"Imagine, if you will:A bright yellow star lit the darkness somewhere in deep space, accompanied by its rather dysfunctional family of nine deceptively ordinary-looking planets. During its enormously long lifetime many beings had named it from the far ends of distant telescopes, including it into numerous star clusters and constellations as they were perceived from their vantage points. Once, or maybe twice, creatures simply looked up into their own skies to name it from their own now long dead and deserted worlds. In more recent times, beings from a world that orbited a different sun far away gave it a name too – creatures that called themselves Human, who travelled here and settled on one of its inner planets. The planet they chose to make a new home on? They called that Deanna. They called the star Ramalama.","author":"Christina Engela","tags":["a","accompanied","and","as","beings","by","called","chose","constellations","creatures","darkness","deceptively","deserted-worlds","different","distant-telescopes","during","human","imagine","into","many","name","nine","numerous","of","on","one","planets","points","ramalama","simply","somewhere","space","star","themselves","they","times","to","too","twice","vantage","will"],"id":64193,"author_id":"Christina+Engela"},{"text":"What I am recommending to the unmarried person, therefore, comes straight out of the Word: Stay out of bed unless you there alone! I know that advice is difficult to put into practice today. But I didn't make the rules. I'm just passing them along. God's moral laws are not designed to oppress us or deprive us of pleasure. They are there to protect us from the devastation of sin, including disease, heartache, divorce, and spiritual death. Abstinence before marriage and fidelity afterward is the Creator's own plan, and no one has devised a way to improve on it.","author":"James C.

Insurance was a good thing – a very good thing - but it wasn’t going to help him much out here. The highlight of his afternoon was going to be staring at the blinking bridge instrumentation – which just happened to be running on the emergency batteries and actually blinking, like for real. Moreover, since his mutinous crew had made off with the Short Shit, the ships only shuttle, he was facing quite a problem.","author":"Christina Engela","tags":["a","about","afternoon","alone","blinking","conversion-drive","crew","emergency","good-thing","had","help","here","him","his","instrumentation","just","like","moreover","mutinous","now","on","problem","real","ships","shit","shuttle","starship","that","the","thing","very","which"],"id":114725,"author_id":"Christina+Engela"},{"text":"While both these statements refer to eggs, the main difference between these two rather irking statements is this: omelets do not come from chickens – it is eggs which come from chickens.

In fact, this is my way of reading, and it is only in this way that reading proves fruitful to me. If a book truly interests me, I cannot follow it for more than a few lines before my mind, having seized on a thought that the text suggests to it, or a feeling, or a question, or an image, goes off on a tangent and springs from thought to thought, from image to image, in an itinerary of reasonings and fantasies that I feel the need to pursue to the end, moving away from the book until I have lost sight of it. The stimulus of reading is indispensable to me, and of meaty reading, even if, of every book, I manage to read no more than a few pages. But those few pages already enclose for me whole universes, which I can never exhaust.","author":"Italo Calvino","tags":["book","calvino","if","italo","night","on","reading","traveler","winter-s"],"id":120653,"author_id":"Italo+Calvino"},{"text":"RSL has more star-liners than any other company, and covers every commercial route in known space. Demeter is one of the biggest, carrying up to 4500 passengers and crew at any single point on its never-ending, circular cruise around the Terran Empire. And me? Where do I fit in? My name is Sean Lange, and you will probably have never heard of me. It’s sad somehow, I always wanted to leave some kind of a legacy in this life, and perhaps to be remembered.
