I'm even stunned at some of the majors you can get in college these days. like you can major in the mating habits of the australian rabbit bat, major in leisure studies... okay, get a journalism major. okay, education major, journalism major. right. philosophy major, right. archeology major. i don't know, whatever it is. major in ballroom dance, of course. it doesn't replace work. how about a major in film studies? how about a major in black studies? how about a major in women studies? how about a major in home ec? oops, sorry! no such thing.

I really believe that an awakening, a greater perspective on our lives and existence is happening. it's really the firing of archetypes that are already built into our brains, we just are able to awaken to a point where we can see a greater beauty in the world, a greater connection and sense of well being. this is what the mystics speak about. the insights fire us up into a greater consciousness on the planet. so it is a greater consciousness at the same time and a greater awareness of our spiritual nature. that is what the 'aha' is.

As an advocate of birth control i wish ... to point out that the unbalance between the birth rate of the 'unfit' and the 'fit,' admittedly the greatest present menace to civilization, can never be rectified by the inauguration of a cradle competition between these two classes. in this matter, the example of the inferior classes, the fertility of the feeble-minded, the mentally defective, the poverty-stricken classes, should not be held up for emulation.... on the contrary, the most urgent problem today is how to limit and discourage the over-fertility of the mentally and physically defective.

The task of all christian scholarship—not just biblical studies—is to study reality as a manifestation of god’s glory, to speak and write about it with accuracy, and to savor the beauty of god in it, and to make it serve the good of man. it is an abdication of scholarship when christians do academic work with little reference to god. if all the universe and everything in it exist by the design of an infinite, personal god, to make his manifold glory known and loved, then to treat any subject without reference to god’s glory is not scholarship but insurrection.

There’s a clear and strong connection between fertility reduction and women’s literacy and empowerment, including women’s gainful employment. if you look at the more than 300 districts of india, the strongest influences in explaining fertility variations are women’s literacy and gainful economic employment.

That is very important to me, to make fertility mainstream so everyone understands it. if you want to have your miracle child, there are options: adoption, surrogacy, fertility procedures. it is also sadly very expensive, and not all insurance companies cover it.

The thing is, 'discworld' had been going on for a very long time, and i've written children's books as well. usually when people have a really big series they franchise it, which i thought is a bit of a no-no, so i thought what i'd do is i'd franchise it to myself.

I speak now, harry potter, directly to you. you have permitted your friends to die for you rather than face me yourself. i shall wait for one hour in the forbidden forest. if, at the end of that hour, you have not come to me, have not given yourself up, then battle recommences. this time, i shall enter the fray myself, harry potter, and i shall find you, and i shall punish every last man, woman, and child who has tried to conceal you from me. one hour.
