• I think of bad news as a huge bird, with the wings of a crow and the face of my Grade Four school teacher, sparse bun, rancid teeth, wrinkly frown, pursed mouth and all, sailing around the world under cover of darkness pleased to be the bearer of ill tidings, carrying a basket of rotten eggs, and knowing- as the sun comes up- exactly where to drop them. On me, for one.

• Isn't that something-to know your own soul by hearsay, instead of its own tidings? Why should I let a preacher tell me if I had one or not? If I could believe I hada soul, all by myself, then I could listen to its tidings all by myself.

  Mary Ann Shaffer

  Believe, Soul, Should

• Well had the boding tremblers learn'd to trace The day's disasters in his morning face; Full well they laugh'd with counterfeited glee At all his jokes, for many a joke had he; Full well the busy whisper circling round Convey'd the dismal tidings when he frown'd. Yet was he kind, or if severe in aught, The love he bore to learning was in fault; The village all declar'd how much he knew, 'Twas certain he could write and cipher too.

• God rest you merry, gentlemen,
  Let nothing you dismay,
  For Jesus Christ, our Saviour,
  Was born upon this day,
  To save us all from Satan's power
  When we were gone astray.
  O tidings of comfort and joy!
  For Jesus Christ, our Saviour,
  Was born on Christmas Day.

• The enemy's spies who have come to spy on us must be sought out, tempted with bribes, led away and comfortably housed. Thus they will become double agents and available for our service. It is through the information brought by the double agent that we are able to acquire and employ local and inward spies. It is owing to his information, again, that we can cause the doomed spy to carry false tidings to the enemy.

• The Internet causes billions of images to appear on millions of computer monitors around the planet. From this galaxy of sight and sound will the face of Christ emerge and the voice of Christ be heard? For it is only when his face is seen and his voice heard that the world will know the glad tidings of our redemption. This is the purpose of evangelization. And this is what will make the Internet a genuinely human space, for if there is no room for Christ, there is no room for man.

  Pope John Paul II

• Los sueños son ciertamente difíciles, confusos, y no todo en ellos se cumple para la humanidad. Porque los sueños fugaces tienen dos puertas: una de cuerno y otra de marfil. Los que pasan por la de marfil aserrado son engañosos y traen noticias que no sirven para nada, pero los que salen de la de cuerno pulido traen resultados verdaderos cuando un mortal los ve.

• Difunde la buena nueva de que no decepcionará a los muchos admiradores de la Srta. Heyer. A juzgar por las cartas que he recibido de personas obviamente débiles mentales que desean que escriba otro These Old Shades, debería venderse como rosquillas. Yo misma creo que deberían fusilarme por escribir semejante disparate, pero es literatura de evasión cuestionablemente buena y creo que me gustaría bastante si estuviera sentada en un refugio antiaéreo o recuperándome de una gripe. Los detalles de la época son buenos; mi marido dice que es ingenioso... y sin llegar a estos extremos, diré que es muy divertido.

• Like the shepherds of old, we need to say in our hearts, “Let us see this thing which is come to pass.” We need to desire it in our hearts.
