...like a small stone deflected off a larger one, my brother had spun off toward the Almighty, though to my mind the events of that morning could just as well have cast him the other way. ↗

I noticed that all the prayers I used to offer to God, and all the prayers I now offer to Joe Pesci, are being answered at about the same fifty percent rate. Half the time I get what I want, half the time I don't...Same as the four-leaf clover and the horseshoe...same as the voodoo lady who tells you your fortune by squeezing the goat's testicles. It's all the same...so just pick your superstition, sit back, make a wish, and enjoy yourself... ↗

They put aside all thoughts of obstacles and forget the precipice does not show itself to the man in a blind rush until it's to late. ↗

The women's movement will present a growing threat to patriarchal religion less by attacking it than by simply leaving it behind. ↗
