Don't chew on it. Don't even let it touch your teeth. Above all, don't let it stick to the roof of your mouth. Oh, God, you did it. You let it happen. God is stuck to the roof of your mouth. How are you going to get Him off? You have to get this off and swallow it. What if it just gets hard and stays there? You can't walk around for the rest of the day with God in your mouth. Oh, God. Melt, melt. ↗

Potrei essere qui in quanto qualcuno vuole che sia così. C'è chi lo crede. Dio? dice lei con dolore e ironia nella voce.Se esistesse andrebbe licenziato per giusta causa, incapacità, assenteismo, e poi giustiziato per crudeltà, bruciato per eresia contro le verità che lui stesso ha proclamato. Già fatto, dico io. Già frustato, crocifisso, ucciso e sepolto. Ma pretende l'esistenza, risponde lei, e si sazia feroce dei desideri che ci incidono il cuore. ↗

The federal government neither has the power to site transmission lines, nor do we build them. That's done, as people know, in their own communities. The siting decisions and the permitting is done at the local level, or by state governments if it's interstate in nature. And federal government - this is one area we have no authority. ↗

We sat around and I fed them barbecue and whiskey. And pretty soon everyone started to compete with each other on the guitars. It seemed the more everyone drank and ate, the more everyone got into it. ↗

Everyone knows about the substantive issues of concern, like federal health care, but very little is said about the process, the lack of accountability. ↗

If journalists ask you again and again about the same bands, you'll end up saying you hate them just because you're so fed up with being asked all those stupid questions. ↗

Two special agents at the front door pulled me outside. By that time, they had already had the house surrounded with loaded weapons, machine guns, shotguns... about 25 federal agents. ↗
