You've got to keep asserting the complexity and the originality of life, and the multiplicity of it, and the facets of it. This is about being a complex human being in the world, not about finding a villain. This is no time for anything else than the best that you've got.”

“Who, LORD, shall abide in Thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in Thy holy hill? He that beareth his own witness in every Thing, he that singeth his own Song in Thy praise, he that giveth not his own Words to his Neighbours mouth, nor taketh his neighbours Words as his own.”
