“I think my books give people a language to have a conversation about God that's not religious. There isn't enough new literature that brings the conversation of God into a modern context. I love the Bible, but in the West we've analyzed it until it fits into a structure of control. We need more new stories. We need different ways of looking at things, and I think it's coming.” PeopleThinkingWayNeedsGivingBookDifferentEnoughStoriesLiteratureLanguageReligiousModernFitConversationStructureWestDifferent Ways Author:William P.

“At each stage of development the child needs different resources from the family. During the first year, a variety of experience and the availability of the parents for attachment are primary. During the second and third years, stimulation of language development is critical. During the years prior to school entrance, information that persuades children they are loved becomes critical, and during the school years it is important for children to believe that they can succeed at the tasks they want to master.” WantNeedsYearsFirstsBelieveChildrenImportantDifferentSchoolLanguageParentStageInformationMastersDevelopmentSucceedResourcesTasksThirdsCriticalVarietyPrimariesAttachmentEntrancesStimulationAvailabilitySchool YearsStages Of DevelopmentLanguage Development Author:Jerome Kagan

And I said 'No, I don't. I speak a little Spanish, but I can learn a foreign language.' And they go 'Okay, do you think you can learn Portuguese?' And I go 'Yeah, whatever it takes.

“If you're a writer and you are at all inclined to speak as a Christian in some way, you realize very quickly that the conventional language is pretty much useless. It takes a long time to get past that, or it has taken me a long time. People in conventional Christianity have spoken lightly and sometimes frivolously of God for a long time. It's a word that needs to be used sparingly, in my opinion.” PeopleIfsWayNeedsLongSometimesChristianPastUsedSpeakLanguageRealizingChristianityOpinionTakenLong TimeUselessConventional Author:Wendell Berry
“I just don't think people get off on language anymore. Language used to be an elevated art. It used to be for people what music can be.

Eloquence - it's dead and who needs it?” PeopleThinkingNeedsArtMatterUsedLanguageWasteUsed To BeVocabularyEloquence Author:Kurt Vonnegut
