"If holiness is happening, it is happening in the thick of reality, not replacing the world as we know, not banishing death, but defying its terror as the last word."

Bulls vs. literary critics:
"Bulls don't run reviews. Bulls of 25 don't marry old women of 55 and expect to be invited to dinner. Bulls do not get you cited as co-respondent in Society divorce trials. Bulls don't borrow money. Bulls are edible after they have been killed." -Ernest Hemingway
"One of the few good things about modern times: If you die horribly on television, you will not have died in vain. You will have entertained us."
-Kurt Vonnegut
"The majority of women (happily for society) are not very much troubled with sexual feelings of any kind... Love of home, of children, and of domestic duties are the only of any kind." - William Acton, British physician, 1875
“A stern man is a stern man. A stern woman is a bitch.”

I'm trying to imagine how that conversation would go down. Hmmm....
George: Hey Unka Dick, I gotta try to get this aid to Africa I promised to Bono or he's not going to play at Jenna's wedding.
Dick: Christ, I've had it up to here with these starving kids in Africa. What was it Bono wanted again? Mosquito nets? Jesus, if these kids can't handle a mosquito bite, how are they going to work in our diamond mines? Shit, they're no good to us anyway. And you went along with that? Why is it that you're so focused on helping the hungry and diseased in strange parts of the world?
It's often followed by a "Fuck, George, we've got a poker game to finish!"
