Now why should that man have fainted? But he did,and right across my path by the wall, so that I had to creep over him every time!

Eternity is not something that begins after you are dead. It is going on all the time.

We are pushed forward by the social forces, reluctant and stumbling, our faces over our shoulders, clutching at every relic of the past as we are forced along; still adoring whatever is behind us. We insist upon worshipping 'the God of our fathers.' Why not the God of our children? Does eternity only stretch one way?

But we were made to believe and not allowed to think. We were told to obey, rather than to experiment and investigate.

But I MUST say what I feel and think in some way — it is such a relief! But the effort is getting to be greater than the relief.

A family unity which is only bound together with a table-cloth is of questionable value.
