I believe there was a big bang and that because of that we are all connected into infinity, and I know very little having to do with human beings that doesn’t also have to do with connection.

Service is the rent we pay for being. It is the very purpose of life, and not something you do in your spare time.

Three very crowded hours went past. They involved quite a lot of phone calls, telexes, and faxes. Twenty-seven people were got out of bed in quick succession and they got another fifty-three out of bed, because if there is one thing a man wants to know when he s woken up in a panic at 4:00 A.M., it’s that he’s not alone.

Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch

Although it is very easy to marry a wife, it is very difficult to support her along with the children and the household. Accordingly, no one notices this faith of Jacob. Indeed, many hate fertility in a wife for the sole reason that the offspring must be supported and brought up. For this is what they commonly say: Why should I marry a wife when I am a pauper and a beggar I would rather bear the burden of poverty alone and not load myself with misery and want. But this blame is unjustly fastened on marriage and fruitfulness. Indeed, you are indicting your unbelief by distrusting God s goodness, and you are bringing greater misery upon yourself by disparaging God s blessing. For if you had trust in God s grace and promises, you would undoubtedly be supported. But because you do not hope in the Lord, you will never prosper.
