And the sculptor woman was so clever in the way she did it. she had the beret just about to leave my hand. so it's attached to this finger and that's what will keep it there. and i'm looking up at it, so there's no question but that that beret is going to fly.

Funny Fashion Humor
Franny has the measles, for one thing. incidentally, did you hear her last week? she went on at beautiful length about how she used to fly all around the apartment when she was four and no one was home. the new announcer is worse than grant - if possible, even worse than sullivan in the old days. he said she surely dreamt that she was able to fly. the baby stood her ground like an angel. she said she knew she was able to fly because when she came down she always had dust on her fingers from touching the light bulbs.
Beautiful Baby Home
From woman, man is born; within woman, man is conceived; to woman he is engaged and married. woman becomes his friend; through woman, the future generations come. when his woman dies, he seeks another woman; to woman he is bound. so why call her bad? from her, kings are born. from woman, woman is born; without woman, there would be no one at all.
Kings Men Generations
She smiled. she knew she was dying. but it did not matter any longer. she had known something which no human words could ever tell and she knew it now. she had been awaiting it and she felt it, as if it had been, as if she had lived it. life had been, if only because she had known it could be, and she felt it now as a hymn without sound, deep under the little whole that dripped red drops into the snow, deeper than that from which the red drops came. a moment or an eternity- did it matter? life, undefeated, existed and could exist. she smiled, her last smile, to so much that had been possible.

A religious belief is not a statement about reality, but a hint, a clue about something that is a mystery, beyond the grasp of human thought. in short, a religious belief is only a finger pointing to the moon. some religious people never get beyond the study of the finger. others are engaged in sucking it. others yet use the finger to gouge their eyes out. these are the bigots whom religion has made blind. rare indeed is the religionist who is sufficiently detached from the finger to see what it is indicating - these are those who, having gone beyond belief, are taken for blasphemers.
Religious Taken Eye
It is often said that the buddha's teaching is only a raft to help you cross the river, a finger pointing to the moon. don't maistake the finger for the moon. the raft is not the shore. if we cling to the raft, if we cling to the finger, we miss everything. we cannot, in the name of the finger or the raft kill each other. human life is more precious than any ideology, any doctrine.
