“NEWT: What d’you think I should say to her, if I see her?
JACOB: Oh, well, it’s best not to plan these things. You know, you just say whatever comes to you in the moment.
A beat. They walk.
NEWT (reminiscently): She has eyes just like a salamander.
JACOB: Don’t say that.”
― J.K. Rowling, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald: The Original Screenplay

“Jacob wrestled with God for the blessing. He wrestled with Esau for the blessing. He wrestled with Isaac for the blessing, with Laban for the blessing, and in each case he eventually prevailed. He wrestled because he recognized that the blessings were worth the struggle. He knew that you only get to keep what you refuse to let go of.”
― Jonathan Safran Foer, Here I Am

“It had not been Edward and Jacob that I'd been trying to force together. It was the two parts of myself, Edward's Bella and Jacob's Bella but they could not exist together, and I never should have tried.”
― Stephenie Meyer, Eclipse

“NEWT: Jacob, she was here. Tina stood here. She has incredibly narrow feet, have you noticed?
JACOB: Can’t say that I have.”

“I am not God, and I am not judge. Your fate is your own And you need not to budge.”

“Jacob smiled from ear to ear when he shook the man’s hand on stage. The man then handed him a trophy. "Tell the audience about your book."
My little brother confidently walked up to a microphone his height and beamed to the crowd. "I wrote about the person I love the most, my older brother, Noah. We don’t live together so I wrote what I imagine he does when we’re not together."
"And what is that?" prodded the stout man.
"He’s a superhero who saves people in danger, because he saved me and my brother from dying in a fire a couple of years ago. Noah is better than Batman." The crowd chuckled.
"I love you, too, lil� bro." I couldn’t help it. To see him standing there, still worshipping me like he did when he was five � it was too much.
Jacob’s smile reached a whole new level of excitement. "Noah!" He pointed right to me. "That’s Noah. That’s my brother, Noah!" Ignoring his foster parents, Jacob flew off the stage and ran down the middle aisle.
Joe lowered his head and Carrie rubbed her eyes. Jacob raced into my arms and the crowd erupted into applause.
"I’ve missed you, Noah." Jacob’s voice broke, bringing tears to my eyes. I couldn’t cry. Not in front of Jacob and not in front of Mrs. Collins. I needed to be a man and stay strong.
"I’ve missed you, too, bro. I’m so proud of you." ”

“For just as Jacob and Esau came from their mother Rebecca and their father Isaac, so also both zombies and werewolves came from rabies and blind blessings of theology.”

“Mungu alilibariki taifa la Israeli katika misingi ya kidini na si katika misingi ya kisiasa au misingi ya kihistoria; na asili ya dini ya Kikristo ni kutoka katika taifa hilo ambalo Biblia imelitaja kama taifa teule la Mwenyezi Mungu. Mgogoro wa Israeli na Palestina ulianzishwa na Israeli mwenyewe. Yakobo alipokea baraka iliyokuwa si ya kwake kwa kutumia hila ya Rebeka. Baraka ya Yakobo ilikuwa ya Esau.”

“She could get lost staring into the kaleidoscope of unfathomable lifetimes swirling in a human iris. They were haunting and sober and wise, even when she coaxed a jaw-cracking sunny smile from the face they were set in.”

“So when a 'heterosexual' man learns to appreciate the noble woman of Proverbs 31, regardless of her looks, he is transcending his sexuality, not EXPRESSING it. Jacob labored fourteen years for Rachel 'beautiful in form and beautiful of face.' But Leah of the 'tender eyes' (Gen. 29:17) proved a much better and nobler wife. Perhaps a 'homosexual' man - a man whose venereal desires are focused more on men than on women - would not have been distracted by Rachel's looks and could have seen Leah's goodness and nobility from the beginning, as Jacob did not (29:30f). Biblically, the dwindling of such desire is not grounds for divorce (Mal. 2:14-16).”
― Jonathan Mills, Love, Covenant & Meaning

“So it is in our HEART, not in our sexualness, that we human beings think and decide how to live - even if the decision is to indulge in venery of whatever sort. A man sees the complementarity of woman and man not through the eyes of lust but in his heart. Jacob's lust for Rachel distracted him from perceiving the virtue of Leah, a virtue to complement or complete his. It's in his heart, not through the lust of his eyes, that a man sees or learns to see the complementation of woman and man. If a man is 'homosexual' or has little lust toward attractive women, this is no obstacle to his perceiving woman as his complement or helper.”
― Jonathan Mills, Love, Covenant & Meaning

“Lakini ukweli ni upi? Ukweli ni kwamba utajiri una changamoto nyingi kuupata na kuudumisha pia kuliko usomi na kwamba ukweli ni amani ya Mungu katika moyo wa mwanadamu. Heri msomi kuliko tajiri â€� Heri yule aliyesoma kuliko tajiri asiyesoma au yule aliyesoma kuliko vile alivyosoma tajiri au tajiri asiyesoma au aliyesoma lakini asiyekuwa na tamaa kabisa na dunia hii ambaye kukosa kwake tamaa na dunia hii kunamfanya msomi. Ndivyo Kristo anavyomaanisha. Si kwamba tajiri hawezi kuuona ufalme wa mbinguni. Ibrahimu, Isaka, Yakobo, Yusufu, Daudi, Sulemani, Yehoshafati, Hezekia, Zakayo, Yoana, Susana, na Lidia watauona ufalme wa mbinguni na walikuwa matajiri. Mali zao zilivyozidi hawakuangalia moyoni, hawakuwa na tamaa kabisa na dunia hii, bali walimtumaini Mungu kwa kila kitu walichokuwa nacho. Anaweza. Lakini asiipende dunia bali ayapende mambo ya ufalme wa Mungu kwa moyo wake wote.”

“Señor Jesús, ven a buscarme. Atrapa mi corazón con tu amor. No tengo la fuerza de Jacob; dame el valor de pedir la libertad y las bendiciones que son mías en Cristo. Usa este libro para renovar mi esperanza y exponer aquellas áreas de mi vida que no te he entregado. Muéstrame quién soy y tu plan para mi vida, mi identidad y mi destino. Bendíceme para que yo pueda ser una bendición para los demás.”
― Neal Lozano, Unbound: A Practical Guide to Deliverance

“Sin embargo, siente el alma en sí una fuerza fundamental que la centra en Dios, y escucha en su interior una voz que le asegura que todo irá bien, siempre que ella le deje hacer a Dios y no viva sino de la fe. Como dice Jacob, «verdaderamente Dios está aquí, y yo no lo sabía» [Gén 28,16]. Alma querida, tú andas buscando a Dios, y Él está en todas partes. Todo te lo revela, todo te lo da, está junto a ti, a tu alrededor, en ti misma ¡y andas buscándole! Posees la sustancia de Dios, y buscas su idea. Buscas la perfección, y está en todo cuanto de sí mismo se te presenta. Tus sufrimientos, tus acciones, tus inclinaciones, son enigmas bajo los cuales se da Dios a ti por sí mismo, mientras que vanamente sueñas ideas sublimes, de las que no quiere servirse para morar en ti.”
