That the religious right completely took over the word christian is a given. at one time, phrases such as christian charity and christian tolerance were used to denote kindness and compassion. to perform a "christian" act meant an act of giving, of acceptance, of toleration. now, christian is invariably linked to right-wing conservative political thought -- christian nation, christian morality, christian values, christian family.

No sovereign, no court, no personal loyalty, no aristocracy, no church, no clergy, no army, no diplomatic service, no country gentlemen, no palaces, no castles, nor manors, nor old country-houses, nor parsonages, nor thatched cottages nor ivied ruins no cathedrals, nor abbeys, nor little norman churches no great universities nor public schools -- no oxford, nor eton, nor harrow no literature, no novels, no museums, no pictures, no political society, no sporting class -- no epsom nor ascot some such list as that might be drawn up of the absent things in american life.

What can i do my friends, if i do not know? i am neither christian nor jew, nor muslim nor hindu. what can i do? what can i do? not of the east, nor of the west, nor of the land, nor of the sea, not of nature's essence, nor of circling heavens. what could i be?

A christian boy or girl can learn mathematics, for example, from a teacher who is not a christian; and truth is truth however learned. but while truth is truth however learned, the bearing of truth, the meaning of truth, the purpose of truth, even in the sphere of mathematics, seem entirely different to the christian from that which they seem to the non-christian; and that is why a truly christian education is possible only when christian conviction underlies not a part but all, of the curriculum of the school.

After a pause, he asked, 'what do you think of nasuada's plans?' 'mmm...she's doomed! you're doomed! they're all doomed!'she cackled, doubling over, then straightened abruptly. 'notice i didn't specify what kind of doom, so no matter what happens, i predicted it. how very wise of me.' she lifted the basket again, setting it on one hip. 'i supposed i won't see you for a while, so farewell, best of luck, avoid roasted cabbage, don't eat earwax, and look on the bright side of life!' and with a cheery wink, she strolled off, leaving eragon blinking and nonplussed.

On the other side, the conservative party, composed of the most moderate, able, and cultivated part of the population, is timid, and merely defensive of property. it vindicates no right, it aspires to no real good, it brands no crime, it proposes no generous policy, it does not build, nor write, nor cherish the arts, nor foster religion, nor establish schools, nor encourage science, nor emancipate the slave, nor befriend the poor, or the indian, or the immigrant.

The persons on whom i have bestowed my dearest love lie deep in their graves; but, although the happiness and delight of my life lie buried there too, i have not made a coffin of my heart, and sealed it up for ever on my best affections. deep affliction has only made them stronger; it ought, i think, for it should refine our nature.

But remember that if the struggle were to resort to violence, it will lose vision, beauty and imagination. most dangerous of all, it will marginalize and eventually victimize women. and a political struggle that does not have women at the heart of it, above it, below it, and within it is no struggle at all.

The debut show, “second lives: remixing the ordinary,” is supposed to be about how artists reuse humble or unusual materials. there’s good work here, but much of what’s on view is actually more about obsession and repetition: a couch made out of 3,500 quarters, a necklace composed of 100 handgun triggers. the building, too, seems caught between wanting to be an object of decorative delectation and making an architectural statement.
