“I call this my church house trilogy. Souls' Chapel really was music from the Mississippi Delta, which to me is a church within itself. The Delta is the church of American Roots music. The Badlands is a cathedral without a top on it. And the Ryman has been called the Mother Church of Country Music, but to me it's the Mother Church of American Music. If you can think it up, it's been done there. In my mind, this is kind of a spiritual odyssey as much as anything else, and I had the settings of three churches to make it in.” IfsThinkingMindKindHas BeensSoulCountryDoneSpiritualMotherThreeHouseChurchRootsSettingSettingsMississippiCathedralsChapelOdysseyAmerican MusicTrilogiesDeltaMississippi Delta Author:Marty Stuart
“The translation of the Veda will hereafter tell to a great extent on the fate of India and on the growth of millions of souls in that country. It is the root of their religion, and to show them what the root is, I feel sure, is the only way of uprooting all that has sprung from it during the last 3000 years.” WayFeelsYearsSoulCountryShowsLastsGrowthMillionsFateRootsIndiaTranslationsHereafterSprungVedasUprooting Author:Max Muller

“The Court is most vulnerable and comes nearest to illegitimacy when it deals with judge-made constitutional law having little or no cognizable roots in the language or design of the Constitution.... There should be, therefore, great resistance to ... redefining the category of rights deemed to be fundamental. Otherwise, the Judiciary necessarily takes to itself further authority to govern the country without express constitutional authority.” ShouldLittlesMadeCountryLawLanguageDealsRightsDesignJudgingAuthorityRootsConstitutionFundamentalsCourtResistanceVulnerableCategoriesJudiciaryConstitutional LawRedefining Author:Byron White
