Worldly Desires Quotes

• La clave es darse cuenta -y creer- que este mundo no es tu hogar. Si tú y yo alguna vez esperamos liberar nuestras vidas de los deseos mundanos, del pensamiento mundano, de los placeres mundanos, de los sueños mundanos, de los ideales mundanos, de los valores mundanos, de las ambiciones mundanas y de la aclamación mundana, entonces debemos enfocar nuestras vidas en otro mundo.

• From the Crusades, to the Inquisition, to American politics--the name of Jesus had been hijacked as an ally in all kinds of power struggles. Since the beginning of time, the ignorant had always screamed the loudest, herding the unsuspecting masses and forcing them to do their bidding. They defended their worldly desires by citing Scripture they did not understand. They celebrated their intolerance as proof of their convictions. Now, after all these years, mankind had finally managed to utterly erode everything that had once been so beautiful about Jesus.

  Dan Brown

  Beautiful, Jesus, Struggle
