It is a chalice held out to you in silent communion, where gaspingly you partake of a shifting identity never your own.” ~ R. S. Thomas

For it emerged that the history of life was his history too.” ~ Gustav Heinrich Ralph von Koenigswald

- “I like the poem on the page and not at the podium. I like to address the poem in peace and quiet, not on the edge of a folding chair with a full bladder. I can’t stand hearing a poem that I can’t see. I did a reading at Wayne State, and it ended with the comedy such occasions deserve.

The hinge was to the front, under my knees, so that as I tried to get up, I merely opened the lid.” ~ Ted Kooser

He knew how to make eye contact and solicit the attention of those who were thinking of other things.” ~ Jane Smiley

There are huge potential consequences… and the nation faces much more serious challenges which the government needs to address” ~ Gerald Howarth

If individuals be not influenced by moral principles it is in vain to look for public virtue.”” ~ Thomas G. West

Many can fake an attempt at keeping God’s standards in some external way. What we cannot fake is the resulting, distinctive aroma of pleasure to God.

Godly marriages proceed from an obedient heart, and the greatest desire of an obedient heart is the glory of God, not the happiness of the household.” ~ Douglas Wilson
