“Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs.
I am haunted by waters.”
― Norman Maclean, A River Runs Through It and Other Stories

“Men think it a shame to be ignorant of their trade—but no shame to be ignorant of God. There is no going to heaven blindfold.”
― Thomas Watson, The Godly Man's Picture

“The smooth speeches of genocidal leaders most often portray killing as a clean, surgical act, necessary to remove a dangerous part from the human race. The supposed purity of genocidal discourse is nothing more than the uniform cloak of a murderer. It not only authorizes him but also justifies and encourages him. The supposed purity of murderers is part of the pretense of a just genocide. They call themselves pure to justify their duty to exterminate those they deem impure.”
