I hate all that woozy political and psychotherapeutic crap applied to books and art.

If I go to London, everyone wants to talk about Damien Hirst. I'm just not interested in him. Never have been.

Where do you learn how to act? Not at church. America is a lot more like pagan Rome than we think. We still sacrifice to objects to gain our social goals.

You have the Roman Catholic Church, the Church of England, the Presbyterians, the Wesleyans, represented in each school, and they are each to take alternate days.

I have often seen people uncivil by too much civility, and tiresome in their courtesy.

I was raised in the Baptist church... but I didn't really have a real committed experience with Christ until my father died.
