• 'Believing' cannot tip the scales in making a historical judgement about whether something really happened. I can choose to believe that George Washington threw a silver dollar across the Rappahannock, but my believing that he did it has nothing to do with whether or not he really did do it. So also with the story of Jesus walking on water: Believing that he did it has nothing to do with whether he really did do it. 'Belief' cannot be the basis for historical conclusions; it has no direct relevance.

• When the grass was closely mown,
  Walking on the lawn alone,
  In the turf a hole I found,
  And hid a soldier underground.
  
  Spring and daisies came apace;
  Grasses hide my hiding place;
  Grasses run like a green sea
  O'er the lawn up to my knee.

• If you walked by a street and you was walking a concrete and you saw a rose growing from concrete, even if it had messed up petals and it was a little to the side you would marvel at just seeing a rose grow through concrete. So way is it that when you see some ghetto kid grow out of the dirtiest circumstance and he can talk and he can sit across the room and make you cry, make you laugh, all you can talk about is my dirty rose, my dirty stems and how am leaning crooked to the side, u can't even see that I've come up from out of that.

• I have walked this south stream when to believe in spring was an act of faith. It was spitting snow and
  blowing, and within two days of being May ... But as if to assert the triumph of climate over weather,
  one ancient willow managed a few gray pussy willows, soft and barely visible against the snow-blurred
  gray background.

• What a joy it is to feel the soft, springy earth under my feet once more, to follow grassy roads that lead to ferny brooks where I can bathe my fingers in a cataract of rippling notes, or to clamber over a stone wall into green fields that tumble and roll and climb in riotous gladness!
