“Palestinian youths used stones and marbles, often in slingshots, to taunt young Israeli soldiers, who shot back with tear gas and live fire. The Palestinians always came off worse. Funerals would turn into protests and so it would roll on, violence ebbing and escalating, the world transfixed by the desperation of a Palestinian generation who saw no future.” WarPalestineMarie Colvin Book:In Extremis: The Life of War Correspondent Marie Colvin Source: In Extremis: The Life of War Correspondent Marie Colvin
“Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice should create in the discerning male reader a deeply rooted concupiscence for Elizabeth Bennet that springs not from her vivacity or from her wit but from her unerring instinct to follow the deeply moral directives of her own character even against the influences and arguments of society, of convention, of seeming necessity, and of her friends and family. Properly read, Austen should be a form of pornography for the morally and spiritually discriminating man.” Jane AustenYaleMoliereGerald WeaverGospel PrismMarie Colvin Book:Gospel Prism Source: Gospel Prism
