this comment in light (or darkness) of this week’s readings:
“
My idea of our civilization is that it is a shabby poor thing and
full of cruelties, vanities, arrogancies, meannesses, and hypocrisies.
As for the word, I hate the sound of it, for it conveys a lie; and
as for the thing itself, I wish it was in hell, where it belongs.”
(Mark Twain, Letter to Joseph H. Twichell, 27 January 1900) |
