“Most people don’t care if you’re telling them the truth or if you’re telling them a lie, as long as they’re entertained by it.” ~ Tom Waits

Quote for the Day – E. M. Forster
“Putting her head on one side, Margaret then remarked, “To me one of two things is very clear; either God does not know his own mind about England and Germany, or else these do not know the mind of God.” A hateful little girl, but at thirteen she had grasped a dilemma that most people travel through life without perceiving.” ~~ E. M. Forster in Howards End

Quote for the Day – Timothy Eagan, New York Times Editorialist
‘What’s more, this latest Republican-led assault on the intelligence of young people is anti-American. If you believe in American exceptionalism, then empower students with critical thinking skills so they can defend it. Don’t give them a Bible lesson. That’s for church. Take it from James LeGrand, Oklahoma’s History Teacher of the Year in 2014.
“We teach students to think for themselves using primary sources,” he wrote in a blog post. “I’m not going to sugarcoat slavery or whitewash the treatment of Native Americans or ignore Japanese internment.”’ ~~ Timothy Eagan, New York Times Editorialist

Quote for the Day – Thomas Merton
“If you write for God you will reach many men and bring them joy. If you write for men–you may make some money and you may give someone a little joy and you may make a noise in the world, for a little while. If you write for yourself, you can read what you yourself have written and after ten minutes you will be so disgusted that you will wish that you were dead.”~ Thomas Merton, Seeds of Contemplation
