Love is the beginning, the middle, and the end of the pathway of discipleship. It comforts, counsels, cures, and consoles. It leads us through valleys of darkness and through the veil of death. In the end love leads us to the glory and grandeur of eternal life.

Joseph B. Wirthlin

Man no longer lives in the beginning--he has lost the beginning. Now he finds he is in the middle, knowing neither the end nor the beginning, and yet knowing that he is in the middle, coming from the beginning and going towards the end. He sees that his life is determined by these two facets, of which he knows only that he does not know them

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

A love affair is like a short story--it has a beginning, a middle, and an end. The beginning was easy, the middle might drag, invaded by commonplace, but the end, instead of being decisive and well knit with that element of revelatory surprise as a well-written story should be, it usually dissipated in a succession of messy and humiliating anticlimaxes.

F. Scott Fitzgerald

I used my daughter's crayons for each main character. One end of the wallpaper was the beginning of the story, and the other end was the end, and then there was all that middle part, which was the middle.

Kurt Vonnegut

The architecture we remember is that which never consoles or comforts us.

Peter Eisenman

Love is the beginning, the middle, and the end of everything.

Jean-Baptiste Henri Lacordaire

There are in truth three states of the converted: the beginning, the middle, and the perfection. In the beginning they experience the charms of sweetness; in the middle the contests of temptation; and in the end the fullness of perfection.

Pope Gregory I

I'd love to do a film. I'd love to play a character that I know the beginning, middle and end of.

Cassidy Freeman

We can tell much by what we have already willing discarded along the pathway of discipleship. It is the only pathway where littering is permissible, even encouraged. In the early stages, the debris left behind includes the grosser sins of commission. Later debris differs; things begin to be discarded which have caused the misuse or underuse of our time and talent.

Neal A. Maxwell

I love the finality of film. When you make a movie, you know the beginning, middle, and end.

Elizabeth Banks

A good speech has a beginning, a middle and an end, the best example being, 'I love you.'

Robert Breault

I love the theater because it's alive. It's a beginning, a middle and an end, and it begins a life.

Jason Robards

Lots of people do stand up shows with no narrative, but I love a beginning, a middle and an end.

Ellie Taylor

Discipleship means adherence to Christ and, because Christ is the object of that adherence, it must take the form of discipleship. An abstract theology, a doctrinal system, a general religious knowledge of the subject of grace or the forgiveness of sins, render discipleship superfluous, and in fact exclude any idea of discipleship whatsoever, and are essentially inimical to the whole conception of following Christ....Christianity without the living Christ is inevitably Christianity without discipleship, and Christianity without discipleship is always Christianity without Christ.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

I love that there's a beginning, middle and end to a film and you can craft what the whole journey is going to look like.
