“If they do not share equally enjoyments and toils, those who labor much and get little will necessarily complain of those who labor little and receive or consume much. But indeed there is always a difficulty in men living together and having all human relations in common, but especially in their having common property.”
“I go farther, and say, that it is plainly our duty to desire pastors and teachers to take the care of such congregations, and that God did raise up such in the church as we see it in the word.”
“To stop challenging someone from using anti-gay language simply because they persist in using anti-gay language strikes me as a defeatist approach.”
“I wish I had met you first. Before we met them.”
“When people see you're happy doing what you're doing, it sort of takes the power away from them to tease you about it.”
“It would be nice, wouldn't it? if we could get comfortable about the problem of freedom. Kant thinks that we can't.”
“Sometimes, you still have days when you don't just feel right, like there is a kind of congestion, and the flow isn't there. You're just not playing clearly.”
