I ain't the same person I was when I bit that guy's ear off.

Have you ever been hurt and the place tries to heal a bit, and you just pull the scar off of it over and over again.
Rosa Parks

That's all drugs and alcohol do, they cut off your emotions in the end.

Uncontrolled, the hunger and thirst after God may become an obstacle, cutting off the soul from what it desires. If a man would travel far along the mystic road, he must learn to desire God intensely but in stillness, passively and yet with all his heart and mind and strength.
Aldous Huxley

Words, words, words! They shut one off from the universe. Three quarters of the time one's never in contact with things, only with the beastly words that stand for them.
Aldous Huxley

Marquis de Sade

Friendships begun in this world will be taken up again, never to be broken off.
Saint Francis de Sales

Man is an exception, whatever else he is. If he is not the image of God, then he is a disease of the dust. If it is not true that a divine being fell, then we can only say that one of the animals went entirely off its head.
Gilbert K. Chesterton

I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it.
