Church Sides Demand

More From Agnes Repplier

We don't think that we're begging for anything. we think we're demanding what is ours by right. and all we're asking for is an opportunity to do something for ourselves, rather than to sit around as a beggar, begging for jobs and begging for education from - for someone else for the rest of our lives.

I sit in the sink (while applying makeup). i do. i've broken more sinks...i sit in the sink, on top of a big square sink in my bathroom with my feet in the basin so i'm very close to the mirror with the good light, and i'm very comfortable. i also manage to put my two phones in the sink so that nothing, but nothing, could get me out of there.

I do not believe in the creed professed by the jewish church, by the roman church, by the greek church, by the turkish church, by the protestant church, nor by any church that i know of. my own mind is my own church.

We must avoid the spiritual disease of the church that can become self-referential: when this happens, the church itself becomes sick. it’s true that accidents can happen when you go out into the street, as can happen to any man or woman. but if the church remains closed onto itself, self-referential, it grows old. between a church that goes into the street and gets into an accident and a church that is sick with self-referentiality, i have no doubts in preferring the first.

Love is not all: it is not meat nor drink nor slumber nor a roof against the rain; nor yet a floating spar to men that sink and rise and sink and rise and sink again; love can not fill the thickened lung with breath, nor clean the blood, nor set the fractured bone; yet many a man is making friends with death even as i speak, for lack of love alone.

A private enterprise system needs some measuring rod, it needs something, it needs money to make its transactions. you can't run a big complicated system through barter, through converting one commodity into another. you need a monetary system to operate. and the instability in that monetary system is devastating to the performance of the economy.

The truth is that we have long had a multi-track europe with very different objectives. the traditional differences between the north and the south in fiscal and economic policy are far less problematic than those that exist between eastern and western europe. in the south and east, china is steadily gaining more influence, such that a few eu member states no longer dare to make decisions that run counter to chinese interests. you see it everywhere: china is the only country in the world that has a real geopolitical strategy.

There are so few people given us to love. i want to tell my daughters this, that each time you fall in love it is important, even at nineteen. especially at nineteen. and if you can, at nineteen, count the people you love on one hand, you will not, at forty, have run out of fingers on the other. there are so few people given us to love and they all stick.
