“Wie gesagt, wenn man nicht glauben kann, dass Jesus ohne Surfbrett das Wasser überqueren konnte, ist man mit den Jüngern in guter Gesellschaft. Mich interessiert vor allem die Botschaft. Wag es! Lass dich herausfordern!”

“Die Male auf meiner Seele sind pechschwarz. Sie breiten sich aus, wie dunkelste Schatten, die den Tag verschlucken. Einst warst du es, die sie repräsentierten, doch irgendwann verschob sich das Bild. Weiß wurde zu Schwarz, was mich in Sicherheit wog, zerfiel zu Staub und die Grenzen zwischen Gut und Böse verschwammen vor meinen Augen.”

“Sie [Lorena] sagte, das Niveau der Barbarei einer Gesellschaft messe sich an der Distanz, die sie zwischen die Frauen und die Bücher zu bringen versuchte. "Nichts erschüttert einen Kaffer so sehr wie eine Frau, die lesen, schreiben und denken kann und obendrein noch die Knie zeigt.”
“Divisionism and dollarism are the curse of society, yet society worships them as the greatest boon. Peace and peoplism are cussed as commie claptrap, while populism continues to give power to goons.”

“We measure time by its deaths, yes, and by its births. For time is told also by life. As some depart, others come. The hand opened in farewell remains open in welcome. I, who once had grandparents and parents, now have children and grandchildren. Like the flowing river that is yet always present, time that is always going is always coming. And time that is told by death and birth is held and redeemed by love, which is always present. Time, then, is told by love’s losses, and by the coming of love, and by love continuing in gratitude for what is lost. It is folded and enfolded and unfolded forever and ever, the love by which the dead are alive and the unborn welcomed into the womb. The great question for the old and the dying, I think, is not if they have loved and been loved enough, but if they have been grateful enough for love received and given, however much. No one who has gratitude is the onliest one. Let us pray to be grateful to the last.”

“Two Politics (The Sonnet)
There is not one but two politics in the world,
One involves issues of society, another is partisanism.
Affairs of society is how politics is defined in books,
But in real life politics is all about partisan nimrodism.
Even the politicians are aware of this simple fact,
So they boast about placing people before politics.
But they never really have any intention of doing that,
So they continue with their usual partisan histrionics.
Real politics is supposed to be all about the people,
Yet today politics is all about politicians, not people.
Then they throw around some words for good measure,
Like socialist, capitalist and so on, at the sheeple.
Enough with this primitive left and right nonsense!
For once be whole and act with civilized sentience.”
