• A great song awakens something in your body / mind / spirit or history that you had forgotten about. It ignites some emotional kindling that you didn't even know you had stored. It awakens you to a possibility for the future - be it hope or excitement - that you never knew was possible.

• I wonder if the sap is stirring yet,
  If wintry birds are dreaming of a mate,
  If frozen snowdrops feel as yet the sun
  And crocus fires are kindling one by one:
  Sing robin, sing:
  I still am sore in doubt concerning Spring.

  Christina Rossetti

• Salvation and justice are not to be found in revolution, but in evolution through concord. Violence has ever achieved only destruction, not construction; the kindling of passions, not their pacification; the accumulation of hate and destruction, not the reconciliation of the contending parties; and it has reduced men and parties to the difficult task of building slowly after sad experience on the ruins of discord.

  Papa Pío XII

  Hate, Party, Passion

• Me parece ver en mi mente una nación noble y poderosa que se levanta como un hombre fuerte después del sueño, y sacude sus mechones invencibles; me parece verla como un águila que maúlla su poderosa juventud, y enciende sus ojos deslumbrados al pleno rayo del mediodía.

• I owe everything to the gift of Pentecost. For fifty days the facts of the Gospel were complete, but no conversions were recorded. Pentecost registered three thousand souls. It is by fire that a holy passion is kindled in the soul whereby we live the life of God. The soul's safety is in its heat. Truth without enthusiasm, morality without emotion, ritual without soul, make for a Church without power.

  Samuel Chadwick

The kindling wood is scattered all round in all the churches. May God help us to rake off the ashes, uncover the live coals and may He blow upon us with the breath of His Spirit!

  Vance Havner

• El entusiasmo piadoso no es un fuego que encendamos nosotros mismos... Pero si un hombre ha prendido fuego, que yo no apague el Espíritu apagando el ardor de su devoción pura. El entusiasmo no es contrario a la razón; es la razón encendida.

• Debemos volver a tener una relación, una relación viva y nutritiva con el cosmos y el universo. El camino es a través del ritual diario, y es un asunto del individuo y del hogar, un ritual del amanecer y del mediodía y de la puesta del sol, el ritual del fuego encendido y del agua vertida, el ritual del primer aliento y del último.

  D. H. Lawrence

  Puesta de sol, fuego, agua

• Por primera vez he encontrado lo que puedo amar de verdad: te he encontrado a ti. Tú eres mi simpatía, mi mejor yo, mi ángel bueno. Te considero buena, dotada, encantadora: una ferviente, una solemne pasión se concibe en mi corazón; se inclina hacia ti, te atrae a mi centro y manantial de vida, envuelve mi existencia a tu alrededor-y, encendiéndose en pura y poderosa llama, nos funde a ti y a mí en una sola cosa.

• Her mighty lakes, like oceans of liquid silver; her mountains with their right aerial tints; her valleys, teeming with wild fertility; her tremendous cataracts, thundering in their solitudes; her boundless plains, waving with spontaneous verdure; her brought deep rivers, rolling in solemn silence to the ocean; her trackless forests, where vegetation puts forth all its magnificence; her skies, kindling waves in the magic of the summer clouds and glorious sunshine;-no, never need an American look beyond his own country for the sublime and beautiful of natural scenery.

  Washington Irving

• Sometimes they rose up inside her, these moments of fierce happiness, kindling out of their own substance like a spark igniting a mound of grass. It was a joy to be alive, a strange and savage joy, and she stood there in the warmth and destruction of it knowing it could not last.
