Masters Quotes

“Life is like a game of chess.
To win you have to make a move.
Knowing which move to make comes with IN-SIGHT
and knowledge, and by learning the lessons that are
acculated along the way.

We become each and every piece within the game called life!”
― Allan Rufus, The Master's Sacred Knowledge

Birth as one slice,
and death as the other.
What you put in-between
the slices is up to you.

Is your sandwich tasty or sour?

consequences of all his
shortcomings.

He accepted them.

He became a man
after God’s heart.

Not because he stopped
sinning - what we call sin
is an error in judgment.

God never punishes you
for your errors - you
create consequences for
your actions.

Error is what you call it
and not what it is.”
― Victor Vote

And I owe it all to a book I read.
But why did I go to Mason City,
Where I chanced to see the book in a window,
With its garish cover luring my eye?
And why did my soul respond to the book,
As I read it over and over?”
― Edgar Lee Masters, Spoon River Anthology

“The Swift pulled over right next to her Thar. The shining black of the Thar next to the fading red of the Swift. The cars knew each other very well. They seemed to greet each other and reminisce their many nights together, standing side by side. They also appeared to regret the long hiatus in the past year when they hadn’t seen each other, not even once. If only their thoughts could be conveyed to their masters. But they seemed to cherish the present moment. Nothing could change that. They were close to one another again. They had found one another again. Maybe this moment could reshape the future. The machines hoped so and at the core of their engines that created such hopeful thoughts was the intense love of their once seemingly inseparable masters.”
― Udayakumar D.S., FT Legacy 1: Who is Frank Twine?

― Mehmet Murat ildan

“One night, not long after signing over his inheritance, Nate said something to a customer that I overheard and would never forget. He said that he'd finally realized that he had never been the puppeteer, controlling his own destiny. Instead, he now realized that black people were just puppets on strings. The strings were so long that they reached far above them - so far out of their vision that they never saw or knew who the puppet masters were. He only knew that when they yanked at the strings and said to dance, he had no choice but to dance.”
― Nyani Nkrumah, Wade in the Water
