“Or maybe I should say a few things that I “like like” In that same way that in the 7th grade I knew That there was a difference between how to like a sandwich And how I like liked Katie Elbin’s pale blonde pigtails. So..I like like Vietnamese Coffee and the long wait for it to drip Drops down into my clear glass coffee mug with penguins on it. I like like that the penguins playfully dance as the black of my coffee Meets the creaminess of condensed milk. I like like the way that Gatsby read when I was twelve And thought that Romanticism and the early twenties Would be as romantic in my early twenties. As if a field of daisies would be the same as the field of Daisy’s. However, I like like the melancholic tone of my chemicals as well When they become overly emotive. Haven’t you heard the news that we’re dead? Wouldn’t it be grand to go exactly as we planned? I like like wondering if wandering is a wanderlust Or just a wanderlust? I think this was address by a Tribe Called Quest But I’ve lost just who it is whom I was promised I could trust. I like like driving with a GPS Not playing it too close to the chest Or relying on all the Redbull and Slim Jim’s Which my passenger-self digests. And I like like a gentle sadness like a reminder I can feel The realizations that this is all just so ever gosh golly really real That my dream board has visions of what I can do And that what absolutely matters is only relatively true.”

“I, SINUHE, the son of Senmut and of his wife Kipa, write this. I do not write it to the glory of the gods in the land of Kem, for I am weary of gods, nor to the glory of the Pharaohs, for I am weary of their deeds. I write neither from fear nor from any hope of the future but for myself alone. During my life I have seen, known, and lost too much to be the prey of vain dread; and, as for the hope of immortality, I am as weary of that as I am of gods and kings. For my own sake only I write this; and herein I differ from all other writers, past and to come.”

“When it comes to dressing, let's remember that modesty and humility are key. Even Adam and Eve, after sinning, attempted to cover themselves with leaves, showing an instinctual understanding of shame and modesty. Yet, some modern styles seem to ignore this principle, revealing more than covering. Let's consider the impact of our clothing choices on ourselves and others. As Christians, we should strive to dress in a way that honors God, reflecting His love and purity. By doing so, we'll show the world a different standard of beauty and modesty, one that points to Christ.”

“Sinuhe, my friend, we have been born into strange times. Everything is melting – changing its shape – like clay on a potter’s wheel. Dress is changing, words, customs are changing, and people no longer believe in the gods – though they may fear them. Sinuhe, my friend, perhaps we were born to see the sunset of the world, for the world is already old, and twelve hundred years have passed since the building of the pyramids. When I think of this, I want to bury my head in my hands and cry like a child.”

“Tänä aikana oli näet huonoimmassa asemassa ihminen, joka tahtoi säilyttää silmänsä avoimina ja antoi jokaisen pitää uskonsa. Hänen kimppuunsa näet karkasivat kaikki syytellen ja solvaten häntä veltoksi ja välinpitämättömäksi, tyhmäksi ja paatuneeksi, kovakorvaiseksi ja luopioksi, kunnes hän kiusaantuneena repi vaatteensa ja ummisti silmänsä ja otti ristin tai sarven sen mukaan, miten laski tästä itselleen olevan vähimmin harmia.”
