Oliver Oyanadel QUOTES

1 " A gentleman by definition is a man who makes everyone around him feel comfortable. Arrogance who only thinks of himself without considering the needs of others is the opposite of a gentleman. They can both be wealthy, they don't have to be, but they cannot both be gentlemen. "

― Oliver Oyanadel , The Fruit of the Knowledge of Good & Evil

2 " The rebellion against fascism is immensely important to society when its grip on our dreamers strangles the creativity out of our ambition, finally snuffing out all progress as we know it, and as if implanting a tombstone, parks institutions in its place. "

― Oliver Oyanadel

3 " The Daily Torah Portion is to your concealed fate, as a flashlight is to a dark path. "

― Oliver Oyanadel , 4 Parables

4 " Fortune favors the hellbound. If you want to succeed in this life, bow down to the golden calf and deny the existence of God. Down here, you'll have everything you can want, but you'll be thrown out of the Kingdom and burn in the next world, because, as the angels will shout at you while you're burning in hell, "We are heavenly beings, And We Want Company!" And so far, you are just not making the cut people. As it is written, "It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. "

― Oliver Oyanadel , 4 Parables

5 " We all should fear God: because if so far God so wished, then what's next? "

6 " Show me an artist whose work is not self indulgent, and I'll show you a sell out. "

― Oliver Oyanadel

7 " The Holy Zohar speaks of achieving the likeness of God, but I could never even begin to be like God. That's how Moses saw God's back, and that's how I know what His face looks like... How merciful is He?! "

8 " You would never make love in front of your children; why would you ever fight in front of your children? "

10 " The days of my youth can be described as my innocence hitting every obstacle along the way while plummeting into the abyss. "

― Oliver Oyanadel , 4 Parables

11 " Restraint is the whole purpose of want and desire; just as the resistance of the filament makes a light bulb glow, your restraint gives you character. "

― Oliver Oyanadel , Little Arson Annie: Short Stories

12 " The will to do good is holy, the will to receive goodness is evil. Everything else is the complexity of this oscillation. "

― Oliver Oyanadel , The Book of the Living

13 " For the most part, women instinctively have within them what men try to achieve with religion and spirituality. A man trying to express his spiritual discoveries to his wife, is like, a high school teacher trying to teach Algebra to Albert Einstein. She's completely uninterested, because she is far more spiritually advanced than you can ever hope to be. Poetry may exist to woo women, but spirituality and religion exists to have and to hold, honor and obey women. "

― Oliver Oyanadel

14 " For innocence lost
The same is the cost
The ride of your life
But you can never get off "

― Oliver Oyanadel , Little Arson Annie: Short Stories
