The burden of all song and praise "unto the highest" has been that god stands for justice and mercy. yet injustice among men is ever on the increase; the outrages committed against the masses in this country alone would seem enough to overflow the very heavens. but where are the gods to make an end to all these horrors, these wrongs, this inhumanity to man? no, not the gods, but man must rise in his mighty wrath. he, deceived by all the deities, betrayed by their emissaries, he, himself, must undertake to usher in justice upon the earth.

We got to face some facts. that the masses are poor, that the masses belong to what you call the lower class, and when i talk about the masses, i'm talking about the white masses, i'm talking about the black masses, and the brown masses, and the yellow masses, too. we've got to face the fact that some people say you fight fire best with fire, but we say you put fire out best with water. we say you don't fight racism with racism. we're gonna fight racism with solidarity. we say you don't fight capitalism with no black capitalism; you fight capitalism with socialism.

What is sin? it is the glory of god not honored. the holiness of god not reverenced. the greatness of god not admired. the power of god not praised. the truth of god not sought. the wisdom of god not esteemed. the beauty of god not treasured. the goodness of god not savored. the faithfulness of god not trusted. the commandments of god not obeyed. the justice of god not respected. the wrath of god not feared. the grace of god not cherished. the presence of god not prized. the person of god not loved. that is sin.

If i marry: he must be so tall that when he is on his knees, as one has said he reaches all the way to heaven. his shoulders must be broad enough to bear the burden of a family. his lips must be strong enough to smile, firm enough to say no, and tender enough to kiss. love must be so deep that it takes its stand in christ and so wide that it takes the whole lost world in. he must be active enough to save souls. he must be big enough to be gentle and great enough to be thoughtful. his arms must be strong enough to carry a little child.

In the nineteenth year and the eleventh month speak your tattered kaddish for all suicides: praise to life though it crumbled in like a tunnel on ones we knew and loved praise to life though its windows blew shut on the breathing-room of ones we knew and loved praise to life though ones we knew and loved loved it badly, too well, and not enough praise to life though it tightened like a knot on the hearts of ones we thought we knew loved us praise to life giving room and reason to ones we knew and loved who felt unpraisable. praise to them, how they loved it, when they could.
Suicide Heart Years
God must act and pour himself into you the moment he finds you ready. don't imagine that god can be compared to an earthly carpenter, who acts or doesn't act, as he wishes; who can will to do something or leave it undone, according to his pleasure. it is not that way with god: where and when god finds you ready, he must act and overflow into you, just as when the air is clear and pure, the sun must overflow into it and cannot refrain from doing that.

I remember so clearly, in the early days, if i had to do a piece of press, they'd phone for me and say, 'oh, we're going to bring hair and makeup, it'll take about five hours.' and i said, 'well, if it was ian mcewan, would it take about five hours? would there be hair and makeup? cause if that's not the case, then don't bring the hair and makeup.' so, it's fascinating that they just assume: it's a young woman, she must want to be photographed for five hours. she must have nothing better to do than delight in trying on all your shoes. but it's not the case.
