“I will have poetry in my life. And adventure. And love. Love above all. No... not the artful postures of love, not playful and poetical games of love for the amusement of an evening, but love that... overthrows life. Unbiddable, ungovernable - like a riot in the heart, and nothing to be done, come ruin or rapture.”
Marc Norman, Shakespeare in Love: A Screenplay

John Shirley
“If the modern world were a patient in my care... I would diagnose it suicidal." - Dr. Sofia Lamb”
John Shirley, BioShock: Rapture

Lauren Kate
“I thought that what I felt for you was right," Luce said. "I loved you until it hurt me, until our love was consumed by your pride and rage. The thing you called love made me disappear. So I had to stop loving." She Paused. "Our adoration never diminished the Throne, but your love diminished me. I never meant to hurt you. I only meant to stop you from hurting me.”
Lauren Kate, Rapture

William Hazlitt
“Never so sure our rapture to create
As when it touch'd the brink of all we hate.”
William Hazlitt

“The biggest reason for our existence is to feel the rapture of being alive.”
Lebo Grand

Henry James
“She believed just then that to let him take her in his arms would be the next thing to her dying. This belief, for a moment, was a kind of rapture, in which she felt herself sink and sink.”
Henry James, The Portrait of a Lady

“We have each other. We lived apart from them; we understand now. Our failure to touch, to belong. But it doesn’t matter anymore. Everybody is gone, and we will join them. We are born apart, driftwood on the banks of an endless dark ocean. And we will be carried away by the swell soon enough. But in between, in a single day of living… that dancing in a strip of sunlight, we can find what we miss. The love that makes us whole. The imminence. Everybody found their other. This pattern is mine...”
Anonymous

“And now, we have no option. We can't say 'maybe' 'it's possible' 'it looks very probable...' No way! We have to say this is what the Bible teaches! This is fact! May 21, 2011 is the day of the Rapture, it is the day that Judgment Day begins...”
Harold Camping, Topics from the Open Forum

“I know it’s crazy to believe in silly things, But you look so very pure when you suffer from your addictions…”
Piyush Rohankar, Narcissistic Romanticism

Sue Monk Kidd
“The transfiguration of anger is a movement from rage to outrage. Rage implies an internalized emotion, a tempest within, Rage, or what might be called untrasnfigured anger, can become a calcified bitterness. What rage wants and needs is to move outward toward positive social purpose, to become a creative force or energy…
Outrage is love’s wild and unacknowledged sister.”
Sue Monk Kidd, The Dance of the Dissident Daughter: A Woman's Journey from Christian Tradition to the Sacred Feminine

Kevin Ansbro
“The words had caught on the tip of her tongue, easy to summon but incredibly difficult to say.”
kevin Ansbro, In the Shadow of Time

“When all the Stars become a Memory'

When all the stars become a memory
Hid in the heart of Heaven : when the sun
At last is resting from his weary run,
Sinking to glorious silence in the sea
Of God's own glory : when the immensity
Of Nature's universe its fate has won
And its reward : when Death to death is done
And deathless Being's all that is to be-

Your praise shall 'scape the grinding of the mills:
My songs shall live to drive their blinding cars
Through fiery apocalypse to Heaven's bars!
When God's loosed might the prophet's word fulfils,
My songs shall see the ruin of the hills,
My songs shall sing the dirges of the stars”
Joseph Mary Plunkett, The Circle and the Sword

“For sensual people, it isn’t the naked body or sex that’s exciting; it’s the anticipation of the unknown.”
Lebo Grand

W.H. Auden
“I must bless, I must praise
That you, my swan, who have
All gifts that to the swan
Impulsive Nature gave,
The majesty and pride,
Last night should add
Your voluntary love.”
W.H. Auden

“...the impressive sense that the sheer miscellanea, the abundant trivia of daily, especially London, life can be experienced rapturously, the only kind of rapture, in fact, allowed a secular world... (xix.)”
Valentine Cunningham, Mrs. Dalloway

“The desire for sex is actually a feeling of being homesick for a place you’re not sure even exists, one where your heart is full, your soul is nourished, and your body is raptured.

We live in a tent (physical body) while searching for a city whose builder and maker is God (that city is called sensuality).”
Lebo Grand

“ON THAT GLORIOUS DAY,
I WILL SEE YOU FACE TO FACE.”
Jennifer Aquillo

Jayita Bhattacharjee

Dayton Hartman
“The kingdom of Christ is already here through his church. Our churches are outposts or embassies of Christ’s rule and reign. And yet we are still waiting for the return of the king with his kingdom in full.”
Dayton Hartman, Jesus Wins: The Good News of the End Times

“When Jesus came the first time, He received blasphemous false accusations from the world, He was denied, abandoned, mocked, arrested, and bound. During his second coming He will come as a Judge to all the people the living and the dead, to destroy sin and death and to punish the wicked and Satan.”
Shaila Touchton

Don Clifford
“Dex added, “God blinded a generation specifically so we can develop it. God didn’t want people to have these flying machines until it fits into his plan. So, it’s God’s timing. The world isn’t falling apart; it’s falling together toward God’s plan. He wins in the end! He is planning something fantastic, isn’t he?”
Don Clifford

Will Advise
“Should you be gone, I think of others not,
my mind in, like a wife, your spot,
when you’re here, I feel you close,
since one we are, elan of, you just give me dose;
when we are together, the world is for us,
each-other to gaze at, true rapture feeling, plus;
when we’re gone, the world will still be here,
love there will still be, yet others with, that’s clear…”
Will Advise, На чист Български...: Pristine Bulgarian sayings...

John Patrick
“The rapture is after the Tribulation, it is easy as 1 - 2 3. Read Matthew 24:15 (1) and Matthew 24:21 (2) and Matthew 24: 29-31 (3) Jesus outlines this so so clearly. His Word is and will continue to be a light unto our path!”
John Patrick, Triumph in Tribulation: "Don't Be Left Behind in Spirit"
