Summary

This quote suggests that a woman asking for equality in the church would be like a black person demanding equality in the Ku Klux Klan, a racist organization. It emphasizes the belief that the church, metaphorically represented as the Ku Klux Klan, is heavily biased against women, similar to how the Klan is biased against black people. The quote implies that asking for equal treatment in such an institution is seen as unlikely to be successful or reconcilable, due to the deeply ingrained discrimination.

The most important ingredient we put into any relationship i

The most important ingredient we put into any relationship is not what we say or what we do, but what we are. And if our words and our actions come from superficial human relations techniques (the Personality Ethic) rather than from our own inner core (the Character Ethic), others will sense that duplicity. We simply won't be able to create and sustain the foundation necessary for effective interdependence.

The car as we know it is on the way out. To a large extent, I deplore its passing, for as a basically old-fashioned machine, it enshrines a basically old-fashioned idea: freedom. In terms of pollution, noise and human life, the price of that freedom may be high, but perhaps the car, by the very muddle and confusion it causes, may be holding back the remorseless spread of the regimented, electronic society.
