  • James Rozoff Quote #1

    A thousand truths can be assembled in such a way as to create a colossal lie.


  • James Rozoff Quote #2

    A truth told once is no match for a lie oft repeated.

  • James Rozoff Quote #3

    As time and space are bent by gravity, so too is truth bent by power.

  • James Rozoff Quote #4

    But failure and success are labels placed upon people’s lives the way a child values winning a game whether or not they have to bend the rules in order to do it. But life is not a game and the rules cannot be bent without repercussions that prove damaging later on. We must play the game for all we are worth, and we must play it fairly. We play and lose and play again, over and over. We lose and we pick up and start again a little wiser. We learn the game a little better in the playing, learn lessons for the next game. And should we lose today it is only a step towards the winning of the larger game. We move our piece on the board one step at a time, but it is all part of some larger process.

  • James Rozoff Quote #5

    Death is the night sky, the background against which the fleeting fireworks of life are displayed, an empty stage upon which the drama of life is played.

  • James Rozoff Quote #6

    Each man is an island unto himself. But though a sea of difference may divide us, an entire world of commonality lies beneath.

  • James Rozoff Quote #7

    Facts, like living things, have a value in and of themselves and demand respect. Yet some people use them as means to an end, and dismiss them as soon as they are done using them.

  • James Rozoff Quote #8

    Faith is jumping off a cliff, knowing you’re going to have to fly. Once you’re falling from a cliff, flapping your arms like a madman isn’t really faith, I suppose, it’s just the logical consequence of faith. It’s where the devil waits to tempt us, it’s the forty days and nights spent in the desert. It’s that experience we all must have in our time on earth of what life would be without God. We all have to be tested.

  • James Rozoff Quote #9

    Feminism is not inherently bourgeois, but bourgeois feminism is the only one given voice in our society. That is why women’s issues discuss glass ceilings rather than dirt floors.

  • James Rozoff Quote #10

    Forget scientists. The next space launch we should send up painters, poets and musicians. I’d be more interested in what they discover than anything that takes place in a test tube.

  • James Rozoff Quote #11

    Good enough may be an acceptable end, but it should never be an acceptable goal.

  • James Rozoff Quote #12

    He who dies with the most toys...dies a child.

  • James Rozoff Quote #13

    Heaven is fleeting, but Hell is an eternity. Hell becomes the more so the longer one lives it.

  • James Rozoff Quote #14

    I pity the atheist, for he can never fully appreciate a sinful pleasure.

  • James Rozoff Quote #15

    Ignorance is a horrible thing. But arrogance, the belief that knowing a little more than the ignorant makes you wise, is more horrible still.

  • James Rozoff Quote #16

    Intelligence resides between us as much as it resides in us. And it resides within the subconscious much more than it does the conscious. We’re just conscious-biased: our conscious mind wants us to think it’s the be all and end all.

  • James Rozoff Quote #17

    It is wisdom to know who you are, but not to the point of excluding who you might become.

  • James Rozoff Quote #18

    It really was amazing, thought Mindy, the way modern electronics made it so easy to ignore those people who were physically so close.

  • James Rozoff Quote #19

    Never in mankind’s history have we so fundamentally changed our means of existence with so little thought.

  • James Rozoff Quote #20

    Nothing is taken at face value anymore, everything must be dissected. Perhaps it is the rise of advertisement over church and state. Things once spoken were spoken with strength and authority. Now they are spoken with stealth and with guile. They are spoken not to the rational mind but to the sub-conscious, the mind within the mind.

  • James Rozoff Quote #21

    Once you realize that life and love are not things you can possess but forces that emanate through us and through all creation, then you can begin to appreciate the miracle you are a part of. You can release the burden and appreciate what you have had, have now and will have. Only trying to hold on to what you do not have causes pain. Letting go permits you to experience the incredible joy that comes to you at each and every moment.

  • James Rozoff Quote #22

    Our country is the only one that truly permits you to speak bad of your country, so you really shouldn’t say anything bad about it.

  • James Rozoff Quote #23

    People perceive the divine according to their own biases. That doesn’t make the experience any less real.

  • James Rozoff Quote #24

    Perhaps religion provides the justification for wars, but science provides the weapons.

  • James Rozoff Quote #25

    Perhaps the media may not always be telling what to think, but it is always telling you what to think about.

  • James Rozoff Quote #26

    Safety and constancy were illusions granted only to those afraid enough not to peer beyond the walls.

  • James Rozoff Quote #27

    Science is the process of obscuring the marvelous with explanations.

  • James Rozoff Quote #28

    Security is an illusion, but it is a pleasant one.

  • James Rozoff Quote #29

    Sometimes you just have to hold on even when you don’t believe in what you’re holding on to anymore. Sometimes you have to hold on to empty and distant memories, even if it feels like there isn’t any ‘you’ left. I think that’s what faith is all about, doing what you need to do even when the feeling isn’t there anymore.

  • James Rozoff Quote #30

    Sooner or later you realize there are no answers, no answers except the ones you believe. Sooner or later faith is the only answer left.
