More quotes by Criss Jami

As individuals die every moment, how insensitive and fabricated a love it is to set aside a day from selfish routine in prideful, patriotic commemoration of tragedy.

It's not about whether or not someone is a bigot, but whether or not the argument which that someone is arguing is worth being a bigot about.
Criss Jami
The reality of loving God is loving him like he's a Superhero who actually saved you from stuff rather than a Santa Claus who merely gave you some stuff.
Criss Jami
When most of the greatest individuals in history were misunderstood and you've spent so much of your own adult life misunderstood, you can't help but believe that the majority of people know very little worth knowing.
Criss Jami
Labeled fools to the world are geniuses to the cosmos.
Criss Jami
Vivid simplicity is the articulation, the nature of genius. Wisdom is greater than intelligence intelligence is greater than philosobabble.
Criss Jami
Feel what it's like to truly starve, and I guarantee that you'll forever think twice before wasting food.
Criss Jami
Because there are hundreds of different ways to say one thing, I, being a writer, songwriter, and poet, speak childishly and incoherently. In speech there is so much to decide in so little time.
Criss Jami
A lack of common sense usually ends in some heroic feat, much like the soldier who dives onto the grenade so that others may live.
Criss Jami
I often find that people confuse inner peace with some sense of insensibility whenever something goes wrong. In such cases inner peace is a permit for destruction: The unyielding optimist will pretend that the forest is not burning either because he is too lazy or too afraid to go and put the fire out.
