And then he said...

I've had the same quotes on my facebook profile for a long time and I wanted to delete them but still save them somewhere. So here they are:

"peace by way of war is like purity by way of fornication
it’s like telling someone murder is wrong
and then showing them by way of execution" Derek Webb, "My Enemies are Men like Me"

"There are two ways to end war: kill everyone, or kill no one." My Dad

"Life is not about learning how to die." Mi Padre

"The only thing harder than hatred is love. The only thing harder than war is peace. The only thing that takes more work, tears, an sweat than division is reconciliation. But what more beautiful things could we devote our lives to? Until the courage that we have for peace surpasses the courage that we have for war, violence will continue to triumph, and imperial execution rather than divine resurrection will have the final word." Shane Claiborne, Irresistable Revolution, p. 285.

"May you have much happiness and productive outrage..." my mom.

"Perhaps failure is only fatal if we chose to let it define us.," another Dad quote.

"In essence, we have failed to grasp Jesus' message, which is liberation of the poor through the dismantling of violent social structures which have been set up BY the powerful FOR the power and at the expense of the oppressed." -postmodernbeat.blogspot.com

"We are told to let our light shine, and if it does, we won't need to tell anybody it does. Lighthouses don't fire cannons to call attention to their shining- they just shine."
Dwight L. Moody

"Life is a game and true love is a trophy." Rufas Wainwright

"What you feel only matter to you. It's what you do to others that matters to them." - The Last Kiss
