My stomach lurched, an appetizer before the full portion of heartache I had a feeling was going to be served at some point soon.

I love those historians that are either very simple or most excellent.

Pedantry iz the science ov investing what little yu know in one kind ov perfumery, and insisting upon sticking that under every man's knose whom you meet.

Josh Billings

The first reason for the preponderant influence of those Evangelicals who define themselves as advocates of Religious Right theological and political ideologies is that they have both the financial means and technological know-how to make widespread use of modern electronic forms of communication.

Tony Campolo

It's amazing where the paranoid mind can take you.
