“I don't go to Mass every day. But I go to church every day. Just sitting there, thinking - it's a great way to start the morning, you know? You feel so good coming out, and your approach to everything is suddenly really clear.” ThinkingKnowsWayFeelsChurchMorningClearApproachMassSittingComing Out Author:Mark Wahlberg
“I’ll keep it short and sweet. Family, religion, friendship. These are the three demons you must slay if you wish to succeed in business.

“Every art is a church without communicants, presided over by a parish of the respectable. An artist is born kneeling; he fights to stand. A critic, by nature of the judgment seat, is born sitting.” ArtArtistFightingBornChurchJudgmentArt IsSittingCriticsSeatsRespectableParishKneeling Book:Herself: An Autobiographical Work Source: Herself: An Autobiographical Work
“My fan base is extremely random. It's the 14-year-old white kid sitting next to your auntie from St. Luke's Baptist Church, to the 20-year-old Black girl who probably would go to a Rihanna concert, but she's coming to my show.” YearsShowsKidsGirlNextBlackChurchWhiteFansSittingConcertsBaptistsLukeBlack GirlAuntie Author:Robert Glasper
“The usual struggle squeezing my bloated Citroën, absurdly named “Picasso,” in or out of any old Italian town. I should be taking a year over this and doing it on a donkey. Eventually found the road to the church of the Madonna of San Biagio, a foursquare temple sitting all alone in the plain. Sangallo's fantasy of the Doric order in honey-colored sandstone, with shell-niches, rosettes, oculi under heavy entablatures. Any one ignorant of geometry scarcely dare enter this shrine to number, measure, and weight. So clean and crisp I could eat it for breakfast.” ShouldYearsOrderFoundChurchNumbersFantasyStruggleSittingWeightTownsCleanDareHeavyIgnorantTemplesBreakfastItalianHoneyUsualShellsGeometryNicheAll AloneCrispsDonkeyShrinesSqueezingFoursquareSandstone Author:Joscelyn Godwin
