“For some reason, the most vocal Christians among us never mention the Beatitudes (Matthew 5). But, often with tears in their eyes, they demand that the Ten Commandments be posted in public buildings. And of course, that's Moses, not Jesus. I haven't heard one of them demand that the Sermon on the Mount, the Beatitudes, be posted anywhere. 'Blessed are the merciful' in a courtroom? 'Blessed are the peacemakers' in the Pentagon? Give me a break!”
― Kurt Vonnegut, A Man Without a Country

“It’s all the old tales sailors tell about Finns. How they are a race of magicians and warlocks. How they can sing up a storm any time they’ve a mind to. Why, back in the old sailing days you’d be hard put to find a captain who would sign up a Finn—or a crew who would tolerate having him aboard!”
― Emil Petaja
