In church i was told that if i so much as smoked a cigarette or tasted alcohol, i’d be damned in hell for all eternity... it didn’t take long for me to start thinking that sounded all wrong... i didn’t cotton to the idea that your religion should be flaunted to other people. your religion is for you, and is best kept close to your heart.

More From Willie Nelson

What you and i need to do is learn to forget our differences. when we come together, we don't come together as baptists or methodists. you don't catch hell 'cause you're a baptist, and you don't catch hell 'cause you're a methodist... you don't catch hell because you're a democrat or a republican. you don't catch hell because you're a mason or an elk. and you sure don't catch hell 'cause you're an american; 'cause if you was an american, you wouldn't catch no hell. you catch hell 'cause you're a black man. you catch hell, all of us catch hell, for the same reason.

I think life is cotton candy on a rainy day. for those who grew up with cotton candy the old-fashioned way, it is very delicate. pre-made cotton candy that has preservatives is not nearly as good or true. true cotton candy is sugar, color, and air and it melts very quickly. that was the metaphor - it can't be preserved, it can't be put aside, it can't be banked. it has to be experienced, like life.
Rainy Day Thinking Air
The church's challenge is staying close to the people, close to the people of the united states, not being a detached church from the people but close to them, close, close, and this is something that the church in the united states has understood and understood well.

So long as the bee is outside the petals of the lily, and has not tasted the sweetness of its honey, it hovers around the flower emitting the buzzing sound; but when it is inside the flower, it noiselessly drinks the nectar. so long as a man quarrels and disputes about doctrines and dogmas, he has not tasted the nectar of true faith; when he has tasted it, he becomes quiet and full of peace.

It’s wrong to hate. it always has been wrong and it always will be wrong! it’s wrong in america, it’s wrong in germany, it’s wrong in russia, it’s wrong in china! it was wrong in two thousand b.c., and it’s wrong in nineteen fifty-four a.d.! it always has been wrong, and it always will be wrong!

She suffers according to the digits of my hate. i hear the filaments of alabaster. i would lie down with them and lift my madness off like a wig. i would lie outside in a room of wool and let the snow cover me. paris white or flake white or argentine, all in the washbasin of my mouth, calling “oh.” i am empty. i am witless. death is here. there is no other settlement.

Speak out, educate, do not be intimidated by the apologists, and do not let extreme racism be mainstreamed. hopefully there will come a time when we don't need to tell our kids that halloween is no excuse for hate, and that blackface has no place in a civilized society.
