“No segment of the population has lost more by the agendas of the liberal constituencies of the Democratic Party than the black population. The teachers' unions, environmental fanatics and the ACLU are just some of the groups to whose interests blacks have been sacrificed wholesale. Lousy education and high crime rates in the ghettos, and unaffordable housing elsewhere with building restrictions, are devastating prices to pay for liberalism.”
“No, según el credo de Garric, eso era tener demasiada confianza en la naturaleza de los seres humanos Era darle explicación a por qué alguien elige ser un villano. Puede que nadie elija eso, puede que se nazca siendo un lobo para el hombre, sin más, que cada uno es vil por el acto de ser, y no hay otra puerta, una salida de emergencia. Ante esa realidad tan oscura, lo único que te hace seguir respirando es imponer un falso orden entre el caos, creer que la gente se vuelve malvada por una razón y que no siempre fue así, porque de lo contrario, ¿qué esperanza habría? Ninguna. Para el bienpensado, el mal necesita razones, no puede venir de la nada, porque entonces nadie dormiría al ser consciente de que en medio de ese océano que es la vida, una ola o un tiburón (que pueden ser cualquier otro) podían devorarlos para siempre. Era así como el hijo de Odell se engañaba a sí mismo, flotando en la nada, creyendo que su padre no siempre fue lo que era ahora. Servía, ¿no?”

“No Self stands alone. Behind it stretches an immense chain of physical and - as a special class within the whole - mental events, to which it belongs as a reacting member and which it carries on. Through the condition at any moment of its somatic, especially its cerebral system, and through education, and tradition, by word, by writing, by monument, by manners, by a way of life, by a newly shaped environment... by so much that a thousand words would not exhaust it, by all that, I say, the Self is not so much linked with what happened to its ancestors, it is not so much the product, and merely the product, of all that, but rather, in the strictest sense of the word, the SAME THING as all that: the strict, direct continuation of it, just as the Self aged fifty is the continuation of the Self aged forty.”

If Nature thunder'd in his opening ears, And stunn'd him with the music of the Spheres... Who finds not Providence all-good and wise, Alike in what it gives, and what denies?”

“No separation between the spiritual and the physical. It is all one.”
“No separation from the world ever saved a soul. It was not by leaving Egypt that the Israelites were saved, but by the blood of the lamb; and so it is by faith in the blood of Jesus that your souls are to be saved. First salvation and then —in its right order—separation from the world. It is not by giving up the world or the things of the world that you can gain Christ, but it is by taking Christ as your Saviour that you get power to give up the things of the world. First drink of the water of life—it is offered "without money and without price" in Christ —and you will not thirst after the waters of this world. Taste of the "river of God's pleasures," and you will cease to care for the "pleasures of sin.”

“No serious courtship or engagement or marriage is worth the name if we do not fully invest all that we have in it and in so doing trust ourselves totally to the one we love.

The very nature of the endeavor requires that you hold on to each other as tightly as you can and jump in the pool together.”
“No serious historian of nations and nationalism can be a committed political nationalist... Nationalism requires too much belief in what is patently not so.”

The voice of the people expresses the mind of the people, and that mind is made up for it by the group leaders in whom it believes and by those persons who understand the manipulation of public opinion. It is composed of inherited prejudices and symbols and clichés and verbal formulas supplied to them by the leaders.”
