More From Philip Roth

If cathedrals had been universities if dungeons of the inquisition had been laboratories if christians had believed in character instead of creed if they had taken from the bible only that which is good and thrown away the wicked and absurd if temple domes had been observatories if priests had been philosophers if missionaries had taught useful arts instead of bible lore if astrology had been astronomy if the black arts had been chemistry if superstition had been science if religion had been humanity the world then would be a heaven filled with love, and liberty and joy

Sexy Sorry Thinking
She sat down on one of her grandmother's uncomfortable armchairs, and the cat sprang up into her lap and made itself comfortable. the light that came through the picture window was daylight, real golden late-afternoon daylight, not a white mist light. the sky was a robin's-egg blue, and coraline could see trees and, beyond the trees, green hills, which faded on the horizon into purples and grays. the sky had never seemed so sky, the world had never seemed so world ... nothing, she thought, had ever been so interesting.
Real Cat Grandmother
In the ancient world individuals have sold themselves as slaves, in order to eat. so in society. here is a witch-doctor who can save us from the sorcerers - a war-lord who can save us from the barbarians - a church that can save us from hell. give them what they ask, give ourselves to them bound and blindfold, if only they will! perhaps the terrible bargain will be made again. we cannot blame men for making it. we can hardly wish them not to. yet we can hardly bear that they should.
War Men Doctors
Madge: i don't know why i keep shouting at them. the doctor: because every time you see them happy you remember how sad they're going to be. and it breaks your heart. because what's the point in them being happy now if they're going to be sad later. the answer is, of course, because they are going to be sad later. ~ the doctor, the widow, and the wardrobe

There must have been moments even that afternoon when daisy tumbled short of his dreams -- not through her own fault, but because of the colossal vitality of his illusion. it had gone beyond her, beyond everything. he had thrown himself into it with a creative passion, adding to it all the time, decking it out with every bright feather that drifted his way. no amount of fire or freshness can challenge what a man will store up in his ghostly heart.

Open your minds and hearts to the beauty of all that god has made and to his special, personal love for each one of you.
Heart Mind Special
It was only when i lay there on the rotting prison straw that i sensed within myself the first stirrings of good. gradually it was disclosed to me that the line separating good and evil passes not between states nor between social classes nor between political parties, but right through every human heart, through all human hearts. and that is why i turn back to the years of my imprisonment and say, sometimes to the astonishment of those about me, bless you, prison, for having been a part of my life.
Party Heart Years
'worship' is the term we use to cover all the acts of the heart and mind and body that intentionally express the infinite worth of god. this is what we were created for, as god says in isaiah 43:7, everyone who is called by my name, and whom i have created for my glory. that means that we were all created for the purpose of expressing the infinite worth of god's glory. we were created to worship.
