Resistance is the secret of joy!

I think America has always been polarized... It's a racist country and it has always been.

The protection of evil must be the most self-destructive job.

The hardest part is when you're in danger yourself. You have to face what could happen and might be likely to happen to you. It's not just that you're there standing next to somebody that something bad is likely to happen to. That is a true moment of reckoning with who you really are.

Language is an intrinsic part of who we are and what has, for good or evil, happened to us.

I know from having had a child, and from having been a child myself, that children will copy you. So, the best way to get them to read, is to read. The best way to get them to do anything is to do it yourself, and they will absolutely copy you. That way, you don't have to worry about what's supposedly age appropriate, a child will pick something up when the child is ready.

What a burden to think one is conceived in sin rather than in pleasure; that one is born into evil rather than into joy.
