Christ wants us to have a child's heart but a grown-up's head.

For the past twenty years you and I have been fed all day long on good solid lies about sex

For jokes as well as justice come in with speech.

When the police arrived and found no lion, no broken wall, and no convicts, and the Head behaving like a lunatic, there was an inquiry into the whole thing. And in the inquiry all sorts of things about Experiment House came out, and about ten people got expelled. After that, the Head's friends saw that the Head was no use as a Head, so they got her made an Inspector to interfere with other Heads. And when they found she wasn't much good even at that, they got her into Parliament where she lived happily ever after.

Only the skilled can judge the skillfulness, but that is not the same as judging the value of the result.

Children have one kind of silliness, as you know, and grown-ups have another kind.

Most people, if they had really learned to look into their own hearts, would know that they do want, and want acutely, something that cannot be had in this world. There are all sorts of things in this world that offer to give it to you, but they never quite keep their promise.
