• In the central cases of physical pain, then, it appears that at least part of what is bad about our condition is the way it makes us feel. Here there seem to be no problems with a purely mental state account, no counterpart to the experience machine that could bring us to think that we are being deceived by mere appearances. [...] If I am suffering physical pain then I can be quite wrong about the organic cause of my affliction, or even about whether it has one, without that error diminishing in the slightest either the reality of my pain or its impact on the quality of my life.

  L. W. Sumner

• As a reader I feel included a lot in Julie Carr’s hard and beautiful book. I can pretty much hear its author speak—a whispering that enables us into its world . . . a masterfully sutured journey, painfully useful. Sarah—Of Fragments and Lines is a book I know I will return to. And urge it on my friends who have lives too and write in them.

• I have learned that I will not change the world, Jesus will do that. I can however, change the world for one person. I can change the world for fourteen little girls and for four hundred schoolchildren and for a sick and dying grandmother and for a malnourished, neglected, abused five-year old. And if one persons sees the love of Christ in me, it is worth every minute. In fact, it is worth spending my life for.

• I think my mother is my biggest influence. There are so many things I hate about her but at the same time I'm thankful for her. All I know is that when I'm a parent I want to be just like my mom. I can talk to my mom more than any of my friends could talk to their parents.

• Little brats yellin 'Trick or Treat' all through my screen door,
  When y'all should be at home sleep,
  Instead of at my front porch 15 deep.
  The jack o' lantern came in handy...
  I can turn my porch light out like I ain't got no candy.
  But ain't that somethin?
  You buy a Halloween costume and a pumpkin,
  Almost gave your children a heart attack.
  It's a tradition, but who the hell started that?

• I came in the door, I said it before
  I never let the mic magnetize me no more.
  But it's biting me, fighting me, inviting me to rhyme,
  I can't hold it back...I'm looking for the line.
  Taking off my coat, clearing my throat,
  My rhyme will be kicking until I hit my last note.

• Now I'm not the type that gets upset,
  Try to disrespect folks just to earn respect.
  But learn this fact: whether white or black,
  I can't be conquered in my style of rap.
  For jealousy and envy are dumb ones' tools,
  So Ricky says nothing, he keeps his cool.
  Revenge is not a mission that the Ruler's on,
  Just forgiveness required for the wrong that's done.

• I bet you never heard of a playa with no game, Told the truth to get what I want, but shot it with no shame. Take this music dead serious while others entertain. I see they makin' they paper so I guess I can't complain...or can I? I feel they disrespectin' the whole thang. Them hooks like sellin' dope to black folks, And I choke when the food they serve ain't tastin' right, My stomach can't digest it even when I bless it.
