Quote by Kevin W. Irwin

“That the Eucharist is the sacrifice of Christ is clear; that his sacrifice should be imitated and lived out by us in the lives of self-transcendence, self-sacrifice, and service should be equally clear.”

“The altar reminds us of the remoteness in which He lives “beyond the altar,” as we might say, meaning divine distance; or “above the altar,” meaning divine loftiness both to be understood of course not spatially, but spiritually. They mean that God is the Intangible One, far removed from all approaching, from all grasping; that He is the all-powerful, Majestic One immeasurably exalted above earthly things and earthly striving. Such breadth and height are founded not on measure, but on God’s essence: His holiness, to which man of himself has no access.”

“Seconds later, the female security officer grabbed a pair of my father's shorts from the top of the duffel bag, and emptied out the contents of his pockets. A lighter, three nail files, a pocket wrench, a pair of pliers, a screwdriver, and a nectarine fell onto the folding table. I looked at the woman, looked at my father, and then looked around to see if anyone else was watching. "What's the problem?" my father asked the woman. "Sir, I'm going to have to take this lighter away from you," she said. "The lighter?" I asked her. "What about the bomb kit he's carrying around? He could do a lot more damage to a person with that wrench." "I need the wrench!" he shrieked. "For what?" "What if something goes wrong with the plane?”

“Jest faktem - faktem, czyli nieubłaganą potęgą przed którą trzeba się ugiąć - że wierszy się nie czyta. Że nikt prawie nie jest w stanie odróżnić dobrego obrazu od złego. Że wyścigi tych koni, to jest, przepraszam, rozmaitych zziajanych pianistów, czy innych wirtuozów, ubiegających się o pierwszeństwo, mają akurat tyle wspólnego ze sztuką co wyścigi końskie. Że muzea są czymś arcymartwym i przyprawiającym o zawrót głowy.”
