    Simply because we say it, does not make it so.

    While justice can never be bought, injustice is too frequently sold.

    Punish the victims instead of the perpetrators. @YahooNews Clear evidence that superficial wisdom is as popular as it’s ever been.

    Abuse doesn’t happen to “them”, it happens to each of “us”.

    Man’s inhumanity to man, is hard to understand, but his inhumanity to children… is unforgivable.

    Is beauty to you, what it is to me? my daughter, Dannielle. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=578377838888008&set=pb.153700094689120.-2207520000.1384367492.&type=3&theater … #MentionSomeoneBeautiful

    Before we judge, we should understand.

    Rather than judging people for being different to you, judge them for being the same.

    Is death an escape? Perhaps, but I’ll only know once I die, and then how will I tell?

    Is judgement as difficult as it seems? You be the judge. http://bit.ly/CGApJud

    Authors are artists, support all you are able.

    The only thing I really try and follow, is my conscience.

    Nobody knows what I really mean, and I write it that way.

    It is never easy to be humane, nobody is just like you, even identical twins differ.

    Compassion is not concerned by the color of a skin.

    Let every day be the day you ask Why?

    Is who we are as important as we think? Does who we appear to be matter as much as who we think we are? Do thoughts without deeds matter?

    All thoughts in themselves are deeds.

    I think “Why?” is the question of the young, while “Why not?” is the question of the adolescent.

    Those who follow you are as important as those you follow. Can’t converse with someone who isn’t listening.

    Speech might appear to be free, but speaking truths others don’t wish to hear bears a terrible price.

    Where many dream of becoming bestsellers, my dreams far exceed this, I dream of my words nurturing troubled souls.

    Might the worst of war be that it *never* sets you free.

    There is something insincere about automated sincerity.

    To parents everywhere… If you find you have a favorite, never let them know.

    Favoritism: The winners lose, and the losers don’t win.

    Propaganda, is the poster.

    Propaganda: Telling people what to think, instead of telling people they should think.

    Is character the perceptible manifestation of soul, or is soul the imperceptible essence, of character?

    Being succinct is one thing, making sense is another entirely.

    Perhaps the problem of writing from the heart, is that criticism is like an arrow to the same.

    Who we are today, might not be who we’ll be tomorrow, and it definitely shouldn’t be who we once were.

    Honesty is everything, or if not everything, a lot, in which case it’s too much… OK, analysis is everything, or is it?

    Temptation comes in three flavors, none, vague, and overpowering.

    There is nothing that is everything, which doesn’t mean that everything is nothing.

    Every journey shares the same beginning – thought.

    We lie atop the sacrificial slab, and with our quill our heart we stab, our words upon our flesh we scribe, in hope they free another soul.

    The goal of every word we write, to free another from our plight, the truths we see, for which we’ll fight, and from darkness, drag to light

    We have more power to change the past than we do the future for today’s deeds, become tomorrow’s past.

    A good deed done today, is done forever, a bad deed delayed till tomorrow, might be done, never.

    Though we fix our eyes upon a goal, we shouldn’t close them to the path our feet will tread.

    Imagine if we could harness anger’s energy and direct it into changing our unjust world.

    Sex is not a means to an end, sex is a means to prevent our end.

    Once passion comes, don’t ever let it go.

    The physical manifestation of two souls entwined, why this might just be sex, sublime.

    Every book that’s never written shares something with every other, they’re unwritten for the wrong reasons. #NaNoWriMo

    Art is not created for sale, but for necessity. http://bit.ly/CGApIIA

    If your goal you easily can attain, reconsider how low you set your aim.

    Magic is absolutely everywhere, but it’s up to us to see.

    For me, happiness is the joy of others – I merely tag along for the smiles.

    The solace, of solitude.

    For many, and for me, it seems the key unlocking artistry, is anguish.

    The ethics of the truly evil is their attempt to impose their radical will on the unwilling. http://jezebel.com/5934975/paul-ryan-sponsored-a-bill-that-would-allow-rapists-to-stop-their-victims-from-aborting …

    Are literature and song the progeny of anguish?

    To be clear, I am adamantly opposed to abortion, however I would never impose my beliefs on anyone – choice is the woman’s right.

    For me to choose to take away choice… what is wrong with this picture?

    I’m a naturist I guess, to me what’s natural is always best, and no, that doesn’t mean, something processed by man, until it’s “clean”.

    Shopping: One person’s Heaven, Another person’s Hell.

    Twitter might be a place of learning, but it is certainly not a place of degree.

    Hearing lies at the end of an arduous path, of which closing our mouth is the first step.

    While water serves to wash the flesh, it takes far stronger stuff to cleanse the soul.

    A soiled soul, is quite impossible to clean.

    No deed stands alone, no act ends with itself, no matter how large or small, everything matters.

    Everything that is, is one. We are, therefore we are one. http://bit.ly/CGApWiS

    Their atoms into a caring universe, dispersed, one they were, when alive, and one will they forever be.

    Compassion, humility, generosity, if humanity only had those in the abundance it has greed…

    Of our origins, we know far less than we think, in our essence, we’re only atoms, yet our essence, is our soul.

    We’re born knowing what is “right”, we’re taught how to do wrong.

    Which begets the question, that is love? I’d rather be in world where it’s overused, than one where it’s not.

    Love: An infinite vessel, when shared, but drained by disuse.

    What has happened to the world, Its people have lost their way, and their leaders lead them astray.

    Where leading questions lead, is astray.

    Though the truth does not lie, except in wine, the ability to lie, is lessened by the vine. {In vino veritas.}

    Closing your eyes to injustice does not make the world a better place, it makes you a blind disgrace.

    Don’t doubt for an instant that they do, wherever people are, they are people, same feelings, same fears, same hopes, same dreams.

    Though every one of us is similar, no two of us are the same.

    Art, is soul essence, extracted. http://bit.ly/CGApIIA

    Verbal sparring about inherited traits, me, “All the bad stuff comes from the Mom.” My mother, “And all the bull-stuff comes from the Dad!”

    The only truths we can relate, are those we think we see, the truths from other’s mouths are words you’ll seldom hear from me

    Until the people stop it, government corruption will remain an inescapable reality, it happens here as much as there.

    Art isn’t about like and dislike, it’s about evoking emotion. Emotion does not come from the mind but the heart.

    The creation of art is at the discretion of the artist, its perception, as art, is in the heart of its beholder. To be art, both must be.

    Art: such a definitive word, yet so lacking in definition.

    What art is not, is easier than to grasp than what art is. But art is not, simply because someone says, “it is.”

    Excrement, described in glorious detail, is still excrement, while its description might be art, it is still… shit.

    Who owns the people in foreign countries that buy the goods made by other slaves? Why that would be China, soon to own the world.

    We think we’re free, but in reality all freedom has come to mean is that we don’t even know who owns us.

    Is it art, or is it not? http://bit.ly/CGApIIA

    For a country that claims to have a conscience, to let billions go hungry is… well, it’s unconscionable.

    Relationships: Without conflict there can be no reconciliation.

    To see the big picture, we need a sharp eye.

    If art is only appreciated with the eye, then is it even art at all?

    And in the words of me, art is in the heart of the beholder.

    Internalism – a soul, with no creator.

    My difficulty is that I feel no serenity in world full of injustice. Injustice doesn’t stop simply because I close my eyes.

    Talking, so much easier than listening.

    Conundrum: I’d rather here the truth from a stranger, than agreement from a friend.

    Dignity: You can’t take it from those who possess it.

    If it doesn’t touch my heart, then to me it isn’t art.

    At conception, from the universe’s essence, does our soul coalesce, and upon our death, it dissipates, and to the universe, returns.
