Agendas Quote by Reif Larsen
“Outside, there was that predawn kind of clarity, where the momentum of living has not quite captured the day. The air was not filled with conversation or thought bubbles or laughter or sidelong glances. Everyone was sleeping, all of their ideas and hopes and hidden agendas entangled in the dream world, leaving this world clear and crisp and cold as a bottle of milk in the fridge.”

![“...the souls of the dead [are] not deprived of their intellectual faculties but... they also are not lacking in feelings such as hope and sadness, joy and fear. They already have a foretaste of what is in store for them after the general judgment. Nor does it happen, as some unbelievers would…” quote by John Cassian](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/b0e/john-cassian-13822_christian_the-souls-of-the-dead-are-not-deprived-o_361463.jpg)
