Truth Quote by Criss Jami — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“People love answers, but only as long as they are the ones who came up with them.”

“The best people are always the worst. They drive everyone mad by being so good at second-guessing everything bad.”

They are the steady adherents of (global) conflict because they are forever fighting both themselves and others to do whatever they think that they want to do.”

“I'm always talking to God about whether or not he exists - that's how I know I'm a theist.”

“When we find that God's ways always coincide with our own ways, it's time to question who we're really worshipping, God or ourselves. The latter moves the nature of godliness from the King to our servant to a slave, a deduction into the realm of selfhood and then the lower, slavehood. It's a spiritual mathematics in that men who need God in his godhood are humble yet strong and spiritually ambitious while men who need a slave in their selfhood are ultimately paralyzed and will remain paralyzed.”

“Diets are essentially training courses in how to feel fat and feel like a failure.”

“সারা জীবন পাশাপাশি থেকেও এক সময় একজন অন্যজনকে চিনতে পারে না। আবার এমনও হয়, এক পলকের দেখায় একে অন্যকে চিনে ফেলে।”

“The artist is a collector. Not a hoarder, mind you, there's a difference: Hoarders collect indiscriminately, artists collect selectively. They only collect things that they really love.”

“And whatever my life had been up to that day, it was another life after that. And that is the gospel truth.”
