Clement of Alexandria
“Nous avons un livre sur cette histoire, comme nous en avons également uu sur les Machabées. Durant cette captivité, Misaël, Ananias et Azarias ayant refusé d'adorer une statue, furent jetés dans une fournaise ardente, et sauvés des flammes par un ange qui descendit vers eux. Alors aussi, Daniel ayant été jeté dans la fosse aux lions, fut nourri par les mains d'Habacuc, par un miracle, et retiré sain et sauf de la fosse le septième jour. Ce fut alors aussi qu'un miracle fut fait en faveur de Jonas, et que Tobie, avec le secours de l'ange Raphaël, épousa Sara, dont les sept premiers prétendants avaient été tués par le démon; et que Tobie le père, après la célébration des noces, recouvra la vue.”
Clement of Alexandria, Miscellanies

Charles Barkley
“One billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the cosmos. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips, I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my veins. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk, and free throw. I am there.”
Charles Barkley
