• You truly help people with the things that you sell.

• You never enjoy the world aright, till the Sea itself flowers in your veins,
  till you are clothed with the heavens, and crowned with the stars: and
  perceive yourself to be the sole heir of the whole world, and more than
  so, because men and women are in it who are every one sole heirs as well
  as you. Till you can sing and rejoice and delight, as misers do in gold, and
  kings in scepters, you never enjoy the world.

• I have encountered a few "creationists" and because they were usually nice, intelligent people, I have been unable to decide whether they were really mad or only pretending to be mad. If I was a religious person, I would consider creationism nothing less than blasphemy. Do its adherents imagine that God is a cosmic hoaxer who has created the whole vast fossil record for the sole purpose of misleading humankind?

• For me, reggae music and its aesthetic are touchstones in both simple and complex ways. Reggae's capacity to be a folk music that is created in a wholly modern context of the recording studio (and sometimes that is the sole performance space) is riddled with the kinds of contradictory impulses that we have come to expect from the post-modern. I revel in this, for it gives me, shall I say, permission.

• When Isaiah predicted that spears would become pruning hooks, that's a reference to cultivating. Pruning and trimming and growing and paying close attention to the plants and whether they're getting enough water and if their roots are deep enough. Soil under the fingernails, grapes being trampled under bare feet, fingers sticky from handling fresh fruit. It's that green stripe you get around the sole of your shoes when you mow the lawn. Life in the age to come. Earthy.

  Fyodor Dostoevsky
