mister god, this is anna
going around borders i found so many books that i don't mind reading. don't mind meaning probably at the end of the day i'd just forget about reading these books hahaha.

like mark haddon's new book. he's the author of "curious incident of the dog in the night time". oh. which derrick said was the perfect autistic book for the autistic me. or or "the logic of life". which is an economics book, written by the same author as "the undercover economist". or malcolm gladwell's "blink", jostein gaarder's "sophie's world".

haha don't bother reading that.

all this and i haven't even walked through the christian aisle.

but the problem is, i'm currently stuck in this book. stuck not because it has a 1000 over pages or that i'm determined to finish a dead boring book, but because seriously i don't mind reading it over and over and over again. i don't want to continue reading before i digest what i've read, but that won't do too. so i've decided to transfer what i've read to another stomach- here!

so here's quotes.



"love me, love them, and love it, and don't forget to love yourself."

"people can only love outside, and can only kiss outside, but Mister God can love you right inside, and Mister God can kiss you right inside, so its different."

"Mister God is different from us because he can finish things and we can't. I can't finish loving you because I shall be dead millions of years before I can finish, but Mister God can finish loving you, and so its not the same kind of love, is it?"

"Humanity in general had an infinite number of points of view, whereas Mister God had an infinite number of viewing points."

"It isn't the Devil in humanity that makes man a lonely creature, its his Godlikeness. It's the fullness of the Good that can't get out or can't find its proper 'other place' that makes for loneliness."

"The instructions weren't to be good and kind and loving, etc., and it therefore followed that you would be more like God. No! The whole point of being alive was to be like Mister God and then you couldn't help but be good and kind and loving, could you?"

"we simply had to admit that Mister God was quite empty. Not empty because they was truly nothing there, but empty because he accepted everything, because he wanted everything and did not reflect anything back!" (referring to how lights and colours work where the colour that we see an object is the colour that 'it doesn't want' and therefore the light of that colour reflects into our eyes")

and i'm not even half way through yet! pfff. before i figure out what each implies i even have to think about whether its worth figuring out in the first place. hurhurhur.
