More From Harriet Martineau

Your ancestors fought for you to have a share in that institution over there. it's yours. see the school board, and every friday night hold your meetings there. have your wives clean it up saturday morning for the children to enter monday. your organization is not a praying institution. it's a fighting institution. it's an educational institution along industrial lines. pray for the dead and fight like hell for the living!

But what i would like to say is that the spiritual life is a life in which you gradually learn to listen to a voice that says something else, that says, "you are the beloved and on you my favour rests."... i want you to hear that voice. it is not a very loud voice because it is an intimate voice. it comes from a very deep place. it is soft and gentle. i want you to gradually hear that voice. we both have to hear that voice and to claim for ourselves that that voice speaks the truth, our truth. it tells us who we are.

ِan offer you can't refuse.

First of all, i had the desire for that format [silent movie], and then when i was talking to people, i felt that people needed justification. why are you doing a silent movie? is it just for your own pleasure? i felt it was not enough for them so i realized i have to choose the subject that will make things easier for them and to tell the story of a silent actor makes sense for doing a silent movie.

There are no words and there is no singing, but the music has a voice. it is an old voice and a deep voice, like the stump of a sweet cigar or a shoe with a hole. it is a voice that has lived and lives, with sorrow and shame, ecstasy and bliss, joy and pain, redemption and damnation. it is a voice with love and without love. i like the voice, and though i can't talk to it, i like the way it talks to me. it says it is all the same, young man. take it and let it be.

I'm not sure that it's right to view this as excluding a particular group. when the institution of marriage developed historically, people didn't get around and say, 'let's have this institution, but let's keep out homosexuals.' the institution developed to serve purposes that, by their nature, didn't include homosexual couples.

The government has to treat all citizens equally. i am a strong supporter not of a weak version of civil unions, but of a strong version, in which the rights that are conferred at the federal level to persons who are part of the same-sex union are compatible. when it comes to federal rights, the over 1,100 rights that right now are not being given to same-sex couples, i think that's unacceptable.

Many couples have made commitments to sexual purity, but instead of adopting a lifestyle that supports this commitment, they continue relationships that encourage physical expression and place themselves in dangerous settings. the path you take with your feet should never contradict the conviction of your heart.

I have met a couple of six-year-olds who were apparently quite excited to meet me - before they actually met me. and when they actually met me they ran behind their parents' legs and cowered for shelter.

I tried botox one time and was permanently surprised for a couple of months. it was not a cute look for me. my feeling is, i have three children who should know what emotion i'm feeling at the exact moment i'm feeling it... that is critical.
