We were greeted by the minister whose inclusive, non-judgemental smile was no more than a whisker away from a smirk. Have I made it clear? I don't like belief systems and even less like those that peddle self-righteousness. I have no doubt the minister was a sincere man, but I am not as impressed by the idea of sincerity as the sincere seem to be. ↗

After all the damages that had been done, there would be a lot of things I want to be gone. Life’s not easy before, but I never thought it could get any harder or even more. ↗

Non ti fidare mai di chi dice di servire Dio. Ti parleranno con serenità e buone parole, così colte che non riuscirai a capire. Cercheranno di convincerti con argomentazioni che solo loro sanno imbastire per catturare la tua ragione e la tua coscienza. Ti si presenteranno come uomini buoni e affermeranno di volerci salvare dal male e dalla tentazione, ma in realtà la loro opinione sul nostro conto è scritta e tutti loro, come i soldati di Cristo che sono, seguono fedelmente quanto trovano nei libri. Le loro parole sono scuse e le loro ragioni identiche a quelle che tu potresti dare a un moccioso. ↗

I was at the vice president's Christmas party. I thought that his speech was spectacular, and I knew that it was a very emotional and difficult thing for him to do, but I admonished him for not waiting just one more stinking day. ↗

Her lips touched his brain as they touched his lips, as though they were a vehicle of some vague speech and between them he felt an unknown and timid preasure, darker than the swoon of sin, softer than sound or odor. ↗
