More From Reinhold Niebuhr

At the still point of the turning world. neither flesh nor fleshless; neither from nor towards; at the still point, there the dance is, but neither arrest nor movement. and do not all it fixity, where past and future are gathered. neither movement from nor towards, neither ascent nor decline. except for the point, the still point, there would be no dance, and there is only the dance.

No sovereign, no court, no personal loyalty, no aristocracy, no church, no clergy, no army, no diplomatic service, no country gentlemen, no palaces, no castles, nor manors, nor old country-houses, nor parsonages, nor thatched cottages nor ivied ruins no cathedrals, nor abbeys, nor little norman churches no great universities nor public schools -- no oxford, nor eton, nor harrow no literature, no novels, no museums, no pictures, no political society, no sporting class -- no epsom nor ascot some such list as that might be drawn up of the absent things in american life.

What i mean by socialism is a condition of society in which there should be neither rich nor poor, neither master nor master's man, neither idle nor overworked, neither brain­slack brain workers, nor heart­sick hand workers, in a word, in which all men would be living in equality of condition, and would manage their affairs unwastefully, and with the full consciousness that harm to one would mean harm to all - the realisation at last of the meaning of the word 'commonwealth.'

Naught is possessed, neither gold, nor land nor love, nor life, nor peace, nor even sorrow nor death, nor yet salvation. say of nothing: it is mine. say only: it is with me.

What can i do my friends, if i do not know? i am neither christian nor jew, nor muslim nor hindu. what can i do? what can i do? not of the east, nor of the west, nor of the land, nor of the sea, not of nature's essence, nor of circling heavens. what could i be?

Thank and glorify his beloved son, who, with indescribable suffering, gave his life on calvary's cross to pay the debt of mortal sin. he it was who, through his atoning sacrifice, broke the bonds of death and with godly power rose triumphant from the tomb. he is our redeemer, the redeemer of all mankind. he is the savior of the world. he is the son of god, the author of our salvation.

I got the feeling poseidon really didn't know what to think of me. he didn't know whether he was happy to have me as a son or not. in a strange way, i was glad that poseidon was so distant. if he'd tried to apologize, or told me he love me, or even smiled. it would've felt fake. like human dad, making some lame excuse for not being around. i could live with that. after all, i wasn't sure about him yet, either.

I was very impressed with hanson's performance. i thought that little drummer was a kick-ass drummer, and uh, that they sang great, i mean i didn't know either, y'know, that these little boys, y'know, i was very impressed. i think they'll probably be around in 20 years writing good songs, and being a great band.

Nine times out of 10 when people do a tribute album or tribute songs for somebody, it's what i call 'white boys playing reggae'. they know they can't, we know they can't, so they sing like they can't and play like they can't. they gently make fun of the idiom or sing in a false accent.
