• And while I'm on the subject, let me say something about Harry Potter. [Gravels her voice.] Warlocks are enemies of God!! [Back to normal screech.] And I don't care what kind of hero they are, they're an enemy of God. And had it been in the Old Testament, Harry Potter woulda been put to death! [Applause.] You don't make heroes out of warlocks. This is the generation that's gonna stand for purity, an' righteousnesss, an' holiness, an' you're gonna serve the lord all the days of your life.

• La vida familiar en la sociedad occidental desde los tiempos del Antiguo Testamento ha sido una lucha por mantener el patriarcado, la dominación masculina y la doble moral frente a una tendencia natural hacia la unión monógama. A los hombres jóvenes se les ha pedido que demuestren su masculinidad estando dispuestos a morir en la guerra, y a las mujeres jóvenes se les ha pedido que demuestren su feminidad estando dispuestas a morir por su hombre. Se ha pedido a las mujeres que parecieran pequeñas, tontas e indefensas para que los hombres se sintieran grandes y fuertes, valientes e inteligentes. Ha sido un truco.

• Muchas expresiones del Nuevo Testamento acuden naturalmente a los labios de todos los protestantes, y proporciona los textos más pregnantes y prácticos. No hay en él ensoñaciones inofensivas, ni sabias especulaciones, sino en todas partes un sustrato de buen sentido. Nunca reflexiona, sino que se arrepiente. No hay poesía en ella, podemos decir, nada considerado meramente a la luz de la belleza, sino que la verdad moral es su objeto. Todos los mortales son condenados por su conciencia.

• Si yo fuera una persona de color en Florida, cogería un ladrillo y empezaría a caminar hacia ese juzgado de Sanford. Los que no lo hacen, los que guardan el dolor y la traición en su interior y de alguna manera se las arreglan para resistirse a la violencia - estos ciudadanos son testimonio de una tolerancia estoica que es más de lo que el resto de nosotros merecemos. Confieso que su paciencia y patriotismo superan con creces los míos.

• To deny the possibility, nay, the actual existence of witchcraft and sorcery, is at once flatly to contradict the revealed word of God in various passages both of the Old and New Testament, and the thing itself is a Truth to which every nation in the world hath, in its turn, borne testimony, by either example seemingly well attested or by prohibitory laws, which at least suppose the possibility of a commerce with evil spirits.

• Pero eso no era suficiente para Lord Byron, no, tuvo que inventar un montón de figuras retóricas y luego interpolarlas,
  Con el resultado de que cada vez que se mencionan los soldados del Antiguo Testamento a
  la gente dice Oh sí, son los que un montón de lobos vestidos de oro y púrpura se comieron.

• My mom has never been a big meddler and isn't like extremely opinionated or at least just doesn't voice it to me. She's sort of let me come into my own by myself and I think that's just a testament to what my parents did in terms of raising us.

• [On the New Testament:] I ... must enter my protest against the false translation of some passages by the men who did that work, and against the perverted interpretation by the men who undertook to write commentaries thereon. I am inclined to think, when we [women] are admitted to the honor of studying Greek and Hebrew, we shall produce some various readings of the Bible a little different from those we now have.

• Our Last Will and Testament, providing for the only future of which we can be reasonably certain, namely our own death, shows thatthe Will's need to will is no less strong than Reason's need to think; in both instances the mind transcends its own natural limitations, either by asking unanswerable questions or by projecting itself into a future which, for the willing subject, will never be.

• I am damnably sick of Italy, Italian and Italians, outrageously, illogically sick.... I hate to think that Italians ever did anything in the way of art.... What did they do but illustrate a page or so of the New Testament! They themselves think they have a monopoly in the line. I am dead tired of their bello and bellezza.

• Can any deny that in the modern church setup the main cause of anxiety is money? Yet that which tries the modern churches the most, troubled the New Testament Church the least. Our emphasis is on paying; theirs was on praying. When we have paid, the place is taken; when they had prayed, the place was shaken!
