"Anyone can be sentimental about the nativity; any fool can feel like a Christian at Christmas. But Easter is the main event; if you donâ€™t believe in the resurrection, youâ€™re not a believer." â€œIf you donâ€™t believe in Easter,â€ Owen Meany said. â€œDonâ€™t kid yourselfâ€”Donâ€™t call yourself a Christian."

-- John Irving

“I mean, if your about to tell me something like I'm dead, that i need to start acquiring a taste for blood, and I can't even eat sushi, I wont be able to handle it. Or if you're going to tell me that I'm going to start howling at the moon, eating peoples cats, and will spend the rest of my life having to get waxed if I want to wear a bathing suit, then I don't think I can handle it, either. I like cats and I tried waxing once, and that hurt like a son of a gun." -Kylie”
