Comforter Quotes - Page 3

• The idea was to focus on the primal drama of parenthood: the way from moment to moment you swing from comforter to tormentor, just as kids simultaneously light up our lives and drive us nuts. I was trying to capture that strange, bipolar quality of parenthood. For all that being a parent is normal statistically, it's not normal psychologically. It produces some of the most extreme emotions you'll ever have.

• Mira, el consolador del mundo, con paso cansado,
  Su calurosa tarea del día ha terminado en el oeste:
  El búho, heraldo de la noche, grita: es muy tarde;
  Las ovejas se han ido al redil, los pájaros a su nido;
  Y las nubes negras como el carbón, que ensombrecen la luz del cielo,
  nos llaman a separarnos y nos dan las buenas noches.

• In trouble we are prone to forget all that we have heard and read that makes for our comfort. Now what is the reason that a man comes to think of that which otherwise he should never have called to mind? The Holy Spirit brings it to his remembrance; He is a Comforter, bringing to mind useful things at such times when we have most need of them.

• The Republican party is the party of nostalgia. It seeks to return America to a simpler, more innocent and moral past that never actually existed. The Democrats are utopians. They seek to create an America so fair and non-judgmental that life becomes an unbearable series of apologies. Together, the two parties function like giant down comforters, allowing a candidate to disappear into the enveloping softness, protecting them from exposure to the harsh weather of independent thought.

• Only music clarifies, reconciles, and consoles. But it is not a straw just barely clutched at. It is a faithful friend, protector, and comforter, and for its sake alone, life in this world is worth living. Who knows, perhaps in heaven there will be no music. So let us live on the earth while we still have life!

• El deseo de guía, amor y apoyo impulsa a los hombres a formarse la concepción social o moral de Dios. Este es el Dios de la Providencia, que protege, dispone, recompensa y castiga; el Dios que, según los límites de la perspectiva del creyente, ama y aprecia la vida de la tribu o de la raza humana, o incluso de la vida misma; el consolador en el dolor y el anhelo insatisfecho; el que preserva las almas de los muertos. Esta es la concepción social o moral de Dios.

• In the Orient the ultimate divine mystery is sought beyond all human categories of thought and feeling, beyond names and forms, and absolutely beyond any such concept as of a merciful or wrathful personality, chooser of one people over another, comforter of folk who pray, and destroyer of those who do not. Such anthropomorphic attributions of human sentiments and thoughts to a mystery beyond thought is-from the point of view of Indian thought-a style of religion for children.

• They sold me a duvet cover, and I don't have a duvet, I don't think. Then, they started treating me like I'm the idiot. They're like, 'Do you have a comforter?' 'Yeah.' 'Well, you have to protect it!' I had no idea it was under attack.

• Pero supón que luchas por lo bueno y descubres que también es espantoso. ¿Y si la comida resulta ser lo que no puedes comer, y tu casa el lugar donde no puedes vivir, y tu consuelo la persona que te hace sentir incómodo? Entonces, efectivamente, no hay rescate posible: se ha jugado la última carta.

• Of course, when we got home, we found that Dagda had peed on my down comforter. He had also eaten part of Mom's maidenhair fern and barfed it up on the carpet. Then he had apparently worked himself into a frenzy sharpening his ting by amazingly effective claws on the armrest of my dad's favorite chair. Now he was asleep on a pillow, curled up like a fuzzy little snail. "God, he's so cute," I said, shaking my head.

• History, in [Nietzsche's] view, belongs to him who is fighting a great fight, and who needs examples, teachers and comforters, but cannot find them among his contemporaries. Without history the mountain chain of great men's great moments, which runs through millennia, could not stand clearly and vividly before me.

• Surely it is a matter of joy, that your faith in Jesus has been preserved; the Comforter that should relieve you is not far from you. But as you are a Christian, in the name of that Saviour, who was filled with bitterness and made druken with wormwood, I conjre you to have recourse in frequent prayer to 'his God and your God,' the God of mercies, and father of all comfort. Your poor father is, I hope, almost senseless of the calamity; the unconscious instrument of Divine Providence knows it not, and your mother is in heaven.

• No le propongas matrimonio a una mujer cuando se ha puesto un vestido nuevo, ni cuando está hinchada de victorias; cuando reina y se regocija en su hora de triunfo, no te acerques a ella; pero cuando esté enferma o cansada, cuando esté abatida de espíritu y necesite un consolador, entonces prepárate y hazle tu proposición.

• Para multitudes de sufrientes en lechos de dolor y languidez, Jesús ha sido hoy el gran médico; en muchos círculos de llanto en torno al precioso polvo, Él ha sido el divino consolador, y las lágrimas casi han cesado de fluir cuando este Jesús ha tocado el féretro. Labios moribundos han susurrado Su nombre, y el valle de la sombra ha sido iluminado como con la gloria de las costas celestiales.

• Cuando me subí a la cama alta y vieja, la gran mosca en mi ungüento personal hizo lo mismo. ¿De verdad le había dicho que podía meterse en la cama conmigo? Bueno, decidí, mientras me retorcía bajo las sábanas viejas y suaves y la manta y el edredón, si Eric tenía diseños sobre mí, yo estaba demasiado cansada para preocuparme. "¿Mujer?" "¿Hmmm?" "¿Cómo te llamas?" "Sookie. Sookie Stackhouse." "Gracias, Sookie." "Bienvenido, Eric.
