"God is my shepherd
So nothing shall I want
I rest in the meadows
Of faithfulness and love
I walk by the quiet waters
Of peace.
Shepherd me, O God
Beyond my wants
Beyond my fears
From death into life."
Marty Haugen, Shepherd Me O God (Psalm 23)
"Unhappy people are better off living in the city. A person can live in the city for a hundred years and not even realize that they are already dead and rotting. They don't have time to realize this on their own; they are too busy."
Leo Tolstoy, The Kreutzer Sonata, 1889
