“This is a jury of your peers. They watch the same TV movies. They belong to Oprah’s Book Club. You can take any monster, slap a bad dad into his past, and all of a sudden he’s just another lost soul, lashing out. And you were the poor lady that got in the way. They’ll argue you lacked compassion. You were the one who took things too far.” WayBookSoulPastLostPoorCompassionWatchesTvsDadClubsArguingMonstersPeersJurySlapLost SoulsBook ClubLashing Out Author:Jeremy Robert Johnson
“We had stayed up all night, my friends and I, under hanging mosque lamps with domes of filigreed brass, domes starred like our spirits, shining like them with the prisoned radiance of electric hearts. For hours we had trampled our atavistic ennui into rich oriental rugs, arguing up to the last confines of logic and blackening many reams of paper with our frenzied scribbling.” WayWritingHeartSoulNightPaperMy FriendsLogicFinalsArguingElectricLampsFrontiersAll NightCrushedCeilingsBrillianceMosquesBrassDomesUp All NightLethargyDelirious Author:Filippo Tommaso Marinetti
“Death did not first strike Adam, the first sinful man, nor Cain, the first hypocrite, but Abel, the innocent and righteous. The first soul that met with death, overcame death; the first soul that parted from earth went to heaven. Death argues not displeasure, because he whom God loved best dies first, and the murderer is punished with living.” MenFirstsSoulEarthDeathDiesHeavenMetsStrikesArguingInnocentGod LoveAdamRighteousMurdererHypocriteCainDispleasureAbel Book:Works: With Some Account of His Life and Sufferings Source: Works: With Some Account of His Life and Sufferings
