Kurt Vonnegut Quotes About Eyes

• Por alguna razón, los cristianos más ruidosos de entre nosotros nunca mencionan las Bienaventuranzas (Mateo 5). Pero, a menudo con lágrimas en los ojos, exigen que se coloquen los Diez Mandamientos en los edificios públicos. Y, por supuesto, ese es Moisés, no Jesús. No he oído a ninguno de ellos exigir que el Sermón de la Montaña, las Bienaventuranzas, se coloquen en ningún sitio. ¿"Bienaventurados los misericordiosos" en un tribunal? ¿"Bienaventurados los pacificadores" en el Pentágono? Por favor.
