“Onward Christian Lawyers
KELLY SHACKELFORD, LIBERTY LEGAL
INSTITUTE, PLANO, TEXAS
Kelly Shackelford founded Liberty Legal Institute in 1997 to fight for the protection of religious freedoms and First Amendment rights for individuals, groups, and churches. Shackelford clerked for a federal judge after law school.
"When their freedoms are taken away, the average person isn't 0. J. Simpson and can't just go out and hire the dream team. My heart has always been to make sure that those people have the best representation possible so that the government can't erode all of our freedoms by picking on the people who don't have the money to fight.
"Religion is the new pornography. If somebody says something religious, the average government official feels like he or she has to run from the room, screaming with their hair on fire. Religion is treated like pornography would be treated if you brought it into the school. I mean, there's a fear. There's a shame, almost, directed toward it.
"The ACLU is mainly operating on remote control. They've injected this chilling atmosphere that's antireligious in the schools and they don't even have to do anything in most instances to effectuate a religious cleansing in the schools. They've managed to scare and intimidate and the lore in school districts is religion is bad, religion will get you in trouble.
''I'd say a decent percentage of the time, the person who engages in the violation of our clients' rights is somebody who later will tell us, Tm a religious person.' They just didn't know any better, and what they're doing is reacting. They go to the kneejerk, shut-it-down action. 'Oh, it's religion? We must shut it down .' That is the general approach.
"These are young kids. They're in third grade or fourth grade or fifth grade. And the lesson they learn is there are words you can't say. You can't say these curse words, and then you can't say your religion. You can't talk about your religion. And it's a very powerful message.
"We had a case where the kids could could draw a tracing of their foot, then put a message on the drawing of their foot, and then put it up on the board in class. And all these kids had all these very innocuous messages, 'Jenny loves Johnny' and 'Peace' and such. A girl very innocently wrote 'Jesus Loves Me.' And the teacher ripped it down, and said to her, 'Don't you ever do this again.' The girl went home crying and wondering what she'd done wrong.
"The father was just infuriated. We called the school. And that time, the school had already realized they were in big trouble. And so they went back to this little girl and they told her, unbeknownst to any of us, 'Go ahead and do another - go ahead and do another one and put it up.' She redrew her foot. And instead of writing 'Jesus Loves Me' in the innocent and pure way she did before, she put a little tiny cross up in the very top corner that you could just barely see.
''And I thought, 'There's the picture of what happens inside to these little kids.' She's learned the lesson. Don't be open about your faith. Don't be honest about your faith. Hide it. You can still be whoever you are as long as you'll hide it. They taught her selfoppression and self-censorship through this hysterical reaction to her. They robbed her of that innocence and of that purity of being open about her faith.
"That's the sort of thing I decided to fight.”

“Onwards and upwards, and never give your failures a second thought.”
“Onyx is angry," Damian says. "Onyx has a right to be angry. You've got to remember, for many elephants, their life is that of a human in a war-torn country. Ravaged homes, killed relatives, separation," Damian says. Here's another thing I've learned over two months--every elephants here has a sad story. Every captive elephant's story is one of loss and separation. Something to remember every time you see happy people getting elephant rides.”

“Onze wil om qua prestaties niet onder te doen voor anderen, in combinatie met het idee dat we in vrijheid ervoor kunnen kiezen om er een schepje bovenop te doen, kan leiden tot zelfuitbuiting. We dwingen onszelf om verder te gaan dan goed voor ons is – totdat we ‘opbranden’.”

“oo often, we lose ourselves in the weight of society’s rules, family’s hopes, and culture’s demands. And somewhere along the way, we forget the most sacred thing :
to live authentically, to honor the quiet truth of what our soul longs for.”
“Oof!" Adam caught me all right, with the side of his head. I could tell by the feel of his skull on my foot as I kicked him. He grabbed me the best he could anyway, and we half landed, half fell in the pine needles.
He lay facedown on the ground. I flopped him over on his back to make sure he was alive. If he had a concussion, we'd have to call the ambulance, which meant we'd get caught and he'd get sent to military school.
On the bright side, maybe the military school would not take him if he had brain damage.
"I'm so sorry."
"Worth it," he grunted. He rolled onto his feet like a ninja and grabbed my hand.
"Hurry, before they release the hounds.”

“Ooh, but the most surprising dish of all was Mr. Tsukasa's four shades of Green Tea Puree! He pureed each type of tea leaf together with the vegetables, mushrooms or beans that best complemented it and then wove them together into a single, harmonious dish!"
He boiled the chickpeas. And for the asparagus and artichoke, he cleaned and sliced them before sautéing them in butter. Once all were gently heated through, he teamed them up with their specific tea leaf, placed them in a food processor and pureed them!
He seasoned the resulting puree with just a touch of salt, pepper and butter and then plated them in spinning-wheel arrangement, making an elegant dish of the gently shifting flavors of green tea!”

“Ooh, look." Birdie swerved out of line to a bushy plant full of purple flowers. She plucked a few delightedly. "Lilacs." She thrust them toward Leeda's face, and Leeda smiled, sniffing. Birdie could make something exciting out of anything on the orchard. She knew all the flowers, the species of birds, how much rainfall they could expect, where moss was likely to grow, which mushrooms were edible, and how long many of the trees had been in the ground. To walk across the property with Birdie was never just to walk through unnoticed space.”

“Ooh! The firm, moist texture and flavor of the yuba...
... suits the gratin's white sauce made with lots of milk and butter!"
"Yuba, a traditional Japanese food...
...perfectly matches the sauce in the gratin, which is a Western dish!"
"I made the white sauce with flour, butter and milk...
... and added chopped onions, sliced mushrooms and yuba cut into bite-sized pieces.
I brought the white sauce to a boil after seasoning it with salt and pepper. Then I placed that inside a gratin dish, covered it with grated cheese and baked it in the oven until it turned golden brown."
"Wow. I don't believe it."
"I never thought yuba and white sauce would taste good together. But come to think of it, yuba is basically soy protein."
"It has a rich yet simple taste...
...so I guess it goes well with any kind of dish."
"I know I'm contradicting myself...
...but this is light and heavy at the same time!
Yuba is made from soy milk, and white sauce is made from regular milk. Both beverages are very good for the human body. So it's no surprise that they come together to make such a delicious flavor in yuba gratin.”

“Ook de 'Ethica' bleef achter slot en grendel - en zou voor velen nog jarenlang een gesloten boek blijven. Spinoza wist het en sprak het uit: 'En voorzeker, wèl moet het moeilijk zijn wat men zo zelden aantreft. Want indien de redding voor het grijpen lag en zonder grote inspanning te bereiken was, hoe zou het dan mogelijk zijn dat zij door nagenoeg iedereen over het hoofd wordt gezien? Maar al het voortreffelijke is even moeilijk als zeldzaam.'
Zo onthult zich het geheim van de 'Ethica' voor onze ogen als de kalme, consequente moed, waarmee de meest belangeloze en stoïcijnse denker van de zeventiende eeuw, een tot zwijgen gedoemde, de God die volgens kerken en synagoge buiten de wereld en boven het mensdom moet worden gezocht (en gevreesd), in wereld en mensdom liet opgaan - : uitdrukking van het unieke, duizendvormige, ongeschapen zijn, het éne lichaam met de éne ziel. Door dit te doen heeft Spinoza niet alleen de middeleeuwen ver teruggestoten; hij werd in de eerste plaats ons begin. Zijn 'wellevenskunst' sluit met een accoord van sober optimisme, dat tegelijk het vaste geloof verkondigt in de rede als laatste, hoogste macht die enkeling en samenleving tot hun ware bestemming kan leiden - 'het accoord van de door eigen kracht verlosbare mens'.”

“Ook hij liet een grote stoommachine plaatsen en alles groeide zo overrompelend vlug, dat er echt geen tijd was zich om veiligheid of zelfs een minimum aan hygiëne te bekommeren. In de spinnerijen stonden de vrouwen, meisjes en kinderen in wolken dwarrelend pluk, bijna dagelijks raakten handen vermorzeld bij het 'indraaien' en in werkplaatsen waar men omgeven was van natte dampen, kregen de meeste vrouwen een ziekte die men waterkanker noemde.(...) De vrouwen brachten in de levensgevaarlijke werkplaatsen hun kleinste kinderen van huis mee en lieten ze rondkruipen in vuil, stof en stank.”
“Ook in Europa werd in deze jaren her en der gedemonstreerd tegen de verhoging van de defensie-uitgaven – in Nederland bijvoorbeeld tegen de nieuwe Vlootwet – en gewaarschuwd voor een nieuwe wapenwedloop. Voor Eleanor moest dit een kruistocht worden tegen de oorlog, even machtig als de kruistocht tegen de slavernij, even machtig als de kruistocht van de suffragettebeweging. In de jaren daarna werd ze een centrale figuur binnen de Amerikaanse anti-oorlogsprotesten.”

“Oona's mother resisted the notion that violence was happening, or that substantial violence was happening, and said that if there was violence it was because there were paid aggressors on the other side, saboteurs, and that they were trying to kill both our defenders and our people in general, and they were sometimes killing their own kind, to make us look bad, and also because some of their own kind supported us, and they killed them for that, and that the main point was separation, it was not that we were better than them, although we were better than them, how could you deny it, but that we needed our own places, where we could take care of our own, because our people were in trouble, so many of us in trouble, and the dark people could have their own places, and there they could do their own dark things, or whatever, and we would not stop them, but we would not participate in our own eradication, that had to end, and now there was no time to wait, now they were converting us, and lowering us, and that was a sign, a sign that if we did not act in this moment there would be no more moments left and we would be gone.”
