“I learned [playing Chuck Berry] that there's something to be said for the courage of conviction, that sense of belief, being bold enough to believe in your vision. And there's a quote that really fits his particular energy. It says - they say don't go where the path may lead, but go where there's no path and leave a trail.

“As long as the Southern colleges have revivals on their campuses and students get converted to Methodism and join the YMCA and are accepted as gentlemen, it will be impossible to think of the South as civilized...The educated folk of the Old South took theology lightly, and religion to them was hardly more than a charming ritual, useful on solemn occassions.” ThinkingLongBeliefImpossibleStudentsCollegeSouthFolksAcceptedTheologyEducatedGentlemanCivilizedRitualSouthernSuperstitionsCharmingRevivalSolemnCampusYmca Author:H.

“There exists in society a very special class of persons that I have always referred to as the Believers. These are folks who have chosen to accept a certain religion, philosophy, theory, idea or notion and cling to that belief regardless of any evidence that might, for anyone else, bring it into doubt.

They are the sheep who beg to be fleeced and butchered, and who will battle fiercely to preserve their right to be victimized.” PersonsIdeasMatterPhilosophyMightAgeCertainBeliefStrongGivenAcceptingClassSupportDoubtSpecialTheoryAmountBattleEnlightenmentEvidenceNotionFolksBelieverChosenPreservesFraudSheepFanaticsPhilosophy Of ReligionStrong Will Book:The Mask of Nostradamus: The Prophecies of the World's Most Famous Seer Source: The Mask of Nostradamus: The Prophecies of the World's Most Famous Seer
