“Quite frankly, Barack Obama knows what it's like to pay a mortgage and student loans. He knows what it's like to watch a beloved family member in a medical crisis and worry that treatment is out of reach. Barack Obama knows our struggles.

“The climate, financial and national security crises are all connected. They share the same cause: Our [the USA's] absurd dependency on foreign oil.

“Essentially I see the new atheism as largely part of the crisis of the left.

“I first had money for investment just at the time of the 2008 crisis and shares have been highly volatile since then.

“You know, Miss Holly, you look very dramatic like that, backlit by the fire. Very attractive, if I may say so. I know you shared a moment passionne with Artemis which he subsequently fouled up with his typical boorish behavior. Let me just throw something out there for you to consider while we're chasing the probe: I share Artemis's passion but not his boorishness. No pressure; just think about it. This was enough to elicit a deafening moment of silence even in the middle of a crisis, which Orion seemed to be blissfully unaffected by.” IfsThinkingKnowsLooksMayEnoughMomentsPassionSilenceFireShareMiddleMissingBehaviorLet MePressureCrisisAttractiveDramaticTypicalChasingArtemisHolliesNo PressureMoment Of SilenceOrion Author:Eoin Colfer
“I share the belief of many of my contemporaries that the spiritual crisis pervading all spheres of Western industrial society can be remedied only by a change in our world view.

“Perhaps peace is not, after all, something you work for, or 'fight for.' It is indeed 'fighting for peace' that starts all the wars. What, after all, are the pretexts of all these Cold War crises, but 'fighting for peace?' Peace is something you have or do not have. If you are yourself at peace, then there is at least some peace in the world. Then share your peace with everyone, and everyone will be at peace.” IfsWorldWarFightingShareColdCrisisCold WarPretext Author:Thomas Merton
