On Malcolm X

"In prison he joined the Black Muslims, became an avid reader, broke the habits of smoking, eating pork, using drugs, and uttering profanities."
~The Religious Care of the Psychiatric Patient, Wayne E. Oates.

An interesting list, to be sure...

From my community service paper

"People won’t listen to you unless they respect you. And they won’t respect you unless you respect them."

I wrote it, then read it and was really please with what I saw. Praise God for insight! :-D

Sorry Amy

"Faith alone saves, but the faith that saves is not alone."
~John Calvin(?)

A very well phrased answer to the question, "How can we be saved by grace alone through faith alone if 'faith apart from works is useless/dead' (James 2:20)?"

From "Introduction to Spanish Translation" by Jack Child

'The translator has another problem...whether to make his/ her translation so pleasing and beautiful in the target language...that it begins to lose faithfulness to the deeper meaning in the source language. The French express this "translator's dilemma" [as such:] "Translations are like lovers: the faithful are not beautiful and the beautiful are not faithful."'

A quote from "City of Angels"

Seth: Why do people cry?
Maggie: What do you mean?
Seth: I mean... what happens physically?
Maggie: Well... umm... tear ducts operate on a normal basis to lubricate and protect the eye and when you have an emotion they overreact and create tears.
Seth: Why? Why do they overreact?
Maggie: [pause] I don't know.
Seth: Maybe... maybe emotion becomes so intense your body just can't contain it. Your mind and your feelings become too powerful... and your body weeps.

So appropriate for this weekend...

Wow

That's all I can say to this quote.

Any woman whose I.Q. hovers above her body temperature must be a feminist.
~Rita Mae Brown
