British journalists tend to believe that people who become good at something do so because they seek fame and fortune. This is because these are the sole motives of people who become British journalists. But some people, operating at higher levels of mental health, pursue activities because they actually love them.
~ John Cleese
Yes, I know it's easy to make fun of the organised churches, but has it occurred to anyone to wonder why it's so easy? What gets my goat is that "Religion" should be the most exciting topic of all.

The mind of a teacher of Latin and a reader of Greek is a queer thing.

Suddenly, with a cynical frankness, he began comparing his feelings for these two girls. 'The truth is,' he said to himself, 'I love them both! I love Gerda because she's so simple, and because I've slept with her all these months ; and I love Christie because she's so subtle, and because I've never slept with her!

It may well be that what gives to the wind along that Wessex coast its indescribable mixture of vague sorrow and wild obscure joy comes from its passing, on its unpredictable path, the floating hair of so many love-lorn maidens and the wild-tossed beards of so many desolate old men.
~ John Cowper Powys
Looking at her lying there, he thought what an appalling risk these lovers of 'happiness' take, when they bum their ships and trust their lives to the caprice of men.

Secretly John regarded himself as the most unlovable human creature then living in Glastonbury.
