Quote by Beth Ditto

My mother told me Homer Ditto was not my father. Nope. Mom had had a fling with some other guy who was my dad. Some dude who didn't stick around too long who Mom was happy to get rid of. She chose Homer, and Homer chose me, so he lent me his name even though I didn't have his blood.

Summary

This quote highlights the importance of chosen family over biological ties. The speaker's mother reveals that their biological father was a man who did not stay around, while their mother chose Homer as their father figure. Despite not sharing blood, Homer embraces the speaker as their own and grants them his name. This serves as a reminder that what truly matters is love, support, and the bonds we form with those who choose to be a part of our lives, rather than solely relying on biological relationships.

Christianity is strange. It bids man recognise that he is vile, even abominable, and bids him desire to be like God. Without such a counterpoise, this dignity would make him horribly vain, or this humiliation would make him terribly abject.

The most beautiful and most profound emotion we can experien

The most beautiful and most profound emotion we can experience is the sensation of the mystical. It is the sower of all true science. So to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead. To know that which is impenetretrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their primitive forms-this knowledge, this feeling is at the center of true religiousness.
