• When loud by landside streamlets gush,
  And clear in the greenwood quires the thrush,
  With sun on the meadows
  And songs in the shadows
  Comes again to me
  The gift of the tongues of the lea,
  The gift of the tongues of meadows.
  So when the earth is alive with gods,
  And the lusty ploughman breaks the sod,
  And the grass sings in the meadows,
  And the flowers smile in the shadows,
  Sits my heart at ease,
  Hearing the song of the leas,
  Singing the songs of the meadows.

  Robert Louis Stevenson

• Wherever applause breaks out in the liturgy because of some human achievement, it is a sure sign that the essence of liturgy has totally disappeared and been replaced by a kind of religious entertainment. Such attraction fades quickly - it cannot compete in the market of leisure pursuits, incorporating as it increasingly does various forms of religious titillation.

• I had crashes when I was small and Gumby-like that would have killed me now. I would just fly off jumps and go 40 or 50 meters when I was 6 years old - break skis, smash my goggles and get a bloody nose and go crawl inside for a little while and then come back out and ski more in the afternoon.

• Short of preventing harm to the child, the standard of 'best interest of the child' is insufficient to serve as a compelling state interest overruling a parent's fundamental rights.... To suggest otherwise would be the logical equivalent to asserting that the state has the authority to break up stable families and redistribute its infant population to provide each child with the 'best family.' It is not within the province of the state to make significant decisions concerning the custody of children merely because it could make a 'better' decision.
