Christ and the life of christ is at this moment inspiring the literature of the world as never before, and raising it up a witness against waste and want and war. it may confess him, as in tolstoi's work it does, or it may deny him, but it cannot exclude him; and in the degree that it ignores his spirit, modern literature is artistically inferior. in other words, all good literature is now christmas literature.

At the heart of every really good christmas movie is the threat, i suppose, to christmas. something is wrong with christmas, in all of these movies. in 'the polar express,' there's a kid that doesn't really believe, and that's the threat to christmas. in 'santa claus: the movie,' jealousy and greed are threatening to overrun his christmas.

You should be real witnesses of a world of doing and acting differently. but in life it is difficult for everything to be clear, precise, outlined neatly. life is complicated; it consists of grace and sin. he who does not sin is not human. we all make mistakes and we need to recognise our weakness. a religious who recognises himself as weak and a sinner does not negate the witness that he is called to give, rather he reinforces it, and this is good for everyone. what i expect of you therefore is to give witness. i want this special witness from religious.

One of the major symptoms of the general crisis existent in our world today is our lack of sensitivity to words. we use words as tools. we forget that words are a repository of the spirit. the tragedy of our times is that the vessels of the spirit are broken. we cannot approach the spirit unless we repair the vessels. reverence for words - an awareness of the wonder of words, of the mystery of words - is an essential prerequisite for prayer. by the word of god the world was created.

Once a little boy sent me a charming card with a little drawing on it. i loved it. i answer all my children’s letters — sometimes very hastily — but this one i lingered over. i sent him a card and i drew a picture of a wild thing on it. i wrote, “dear jim: i loved your card.” then i got a letter back from his mother and she said, “jim loved your card so much he ate it.” that to me was one of the highest compliments i’ve ever received. he didn’t care that it was an original maurice sendak drawing or anything. he saw it, he loved it, he ate it.

I feel that the connection with children and mothers is so strong in places where there are not so many 'things' to get in the way, no electronic distraction devices, no high-tech baby equipment, just a mother carrying her little one everywhere, sharing a family bed and having the help of all the other women around to raise the baby.

Until the day she died, my mother continued to fight for the rights of women. she joined all the women's movements of the time; she stirred up a lot of revolts. she was a great woman, a great figure. women today would like her immensely.
