Will’s Quotes

“Rav Yehuda did not like to pray He preferred to learn Torah and say: “You may call my soul dirty But one day in thirty Is better than three times a day.”

“The last bed was occupied by a Black man covered in bandages. He writhed, babbled unintelligibly. Then he screamed as if in pain. “He’s not comatose but not fully conscious, either. He has a chance at some kind of recovery. Most don’t, honestly. We’ve developed the skills to save their bodies, but not their lives,” Captain Smith said.”
― Kristin Hannah, The Women

“There were cuttings about flying saucers, about secret weapons, about truth drugs used by Russians, and claims for fantastic drugs discovered by American doctors. All the witchcraft, so Neele thought, of our twentieth century.”

“In front of them, on the ground, was a massive bell, with a Wayne standing either side of it, looking as if breathing in and out in the right order was taking up a huge amount of mental effort. Claremont was no campanologist–in fact, his knowledge of bells extended only to knowing the word ‘campanologist’–but the thing looked pretty damn big to him.”

“We have convinced church leaders and music ministers that classical choral styles are unattractive to the younger crowd, that so-called ‘seekers’ will be—what’s the American term?—turned off by a Mendelssohn psalm or a hymn arranged for choral singing. At the same time we have allowed such music to flourish in secular environments and liberal churches where its spiritual effect is negligible. Many evangelical music ministers now consider it a fact beyond question that radio styles, driven to popularity by clever marketing schemes, are the way to penetrate the hearts of those attending church. Repetitive phrases and a beat that encourages clapping are taken as sure signs of our Enemy working in the hearts of the congregation.”
― T.G. Brown, The Wormwood Archive
