Billy Graham
“You cannot come to Christ unless the Spirit of God brings you. But what if you ignore His warnings? Then you are in the gravest danger, for some day God will no longer be speaking to you. Then it will be too late. Come to Christ while there is still time. Christ, God's greater Ark, stands ready to welcome you to safety today.”
Billy Graham, Hope for Each Day: Words of Wisdom and Faith

Robert G. Ingersoll
“We know that there are many animals on this continent not found in the Old World. These must have been carried from here to the ark, and then brought back afterwards. Were the peccary, armadillo, ant-eater, sloth, agouti, vampire-bat, marmoset, howling and prehensile-tailed monkey, the raccoon and muskrat carried by the angels from America to Asia? How did they get there? Did the polar bear leave his field of ice and journey toward the tropics? How did he know where the ark was? Did the kangaroo swim or jump from Australia to Asia? Did the giraffe, hippopotamus, antelope and orang-outang journey from Africa in search of the ark? Can absurdities go farther than this?”
Robert G. Ingersoll, Some Mistakes of Moses

“Anytime I see a rainbow, what comes into my mind is how skillful and talented someone was to create an ark that didn't leak through a prolong period of flood. We must work our talents out and work them out skillfully and then our rainbow of excellence will show.”

“One little girl.

Two soulmates.

And three mended hearts.

I’m a believer now. I can see it with my own eyes.

Everything should come in threes.”

“Through the Mud
(from the book Blue Bridge)

A line of robots,
We approach a wall of mud,
Some of us carrying flowers.
The others laugh
Bit when we enter that wall
It is the flowers
That will make us an ark
To carry us on through the darkness,
Sailing through
With our symbols the only light
Until we fly
Out over the fields
On the other side of midnight
And all our wires
And bits of metal fall off.-
And our souls are bright again,
So new and light
They shoot up –
Up to plant our brilliant flowers
Like stars
In the face of heaven.”
Jay Woodman

J.A. Huss
“She is not one lost girl.

We are not two best friends.

We are one trinity of perfection.”

“Why is My Mishkan still under My Heel Stone?
Auger coring 1.2m (4ft) below it too Hard?
Your Book does not Mention it, Why?”
YHWH Allah

Veronica Roth
“Well, you can't love everything equally," she said. "You just can't - and if you did, then it's the same as loving nothing at all. So you have to hold just a few things dear because that's what love is. Particular. Specific.”
Veronica Roth, Ark

Wisława Szymborska
“As far as the eye can see, there's water and hazy horizon.
Into the ark, plans for the distant future,
joy in the difference,
admiration for the better man,
choice not narrowed down to one of two,
outworn scruples,
time to think it over,
and the belief that all this
will still come in handy someday.”
Wisława Szymborska, View with a Grain of Sand: Selected Poems

Cynthia Barnett
“Any flood would feel like the end of the world if your neighbors drowned and your community washed away. In Mesopotamia when torrential rains hit alongside spring snowmelt, the Tigris and Euphrates would burst their banks, growing the region under hundreds of miles of lakes. Archaeologists say an ancient Sumerian city called Shurrupak (Iraq's Tell Fara) was laid waste by flood nearly 5,000 years ago. A Babylonian version of GILGAMESH mentions Shurrupak by name. It describes a deluge that wipes out mankind, and a pious king called Ziusudra who overhears from a sympathetic god that the great flood is on its way. Ziusudra builds a huge boat and survives.”

“Well, you can’t love everything equally,” she said. “You just can’t—
and if you did, then it’s the same as loving nothing at all. So you have to
hold just a few things dear, because that’s what love is. Particular. Specific.”
