Lord, if I thought you were listening, I'd pray for this above all: that any church set up in your name should remain poor, and powerless, and modest. That it should wield no authority except that of love. That it should never cast anyone out. That i...
You should be spreading the good word. You should be etching the good word onto the glass scanning beds of library photocopiers. You should be scraping the truth onto old auto parts and throwing them off bridges so that people digging in the mud in a...
People should be heard, and music should be listened to.
One should always be in love. That's the reason one should never marry.
People should be shrouded in mystery. Especially actors. No, hang on, maybe actors should be blown up.
One should expect that the expected can be prevented, but the unexpected should have been expected.
The government should set a goal for a clean environment but not mandate how that goal should be implemented.
Marriage should be viewed as an institution ordained by God and should be out of the control of the state.
Kings in this world should imitate God, their mercy should be above their works.
Women should have choices, and women should feel good in what they wear.
Those who are compassionate when they should be tough will be tough when they should be compassionate.
My wife determined that my genius should prevail, and that my final success as an ornithologist should be triumphant.
And I feel that we in our society should not be held by any such myth; that we should do everything we can to gain a delight and joy in our society with all the available parts of the palette.
War should be made a crime, and those who instigate it should be punished as criminals.
The world should not be organized to require heroines, and when one is required but fails to appear we should not judge. We should just say, poor Camille, she turned into a bitch the way most people would have—and stay out of her way.
She taught me all about real sacrifice. That it should be done from love... That it should be done from necessity, not without exhausting all other options. That it should be done for people who need your strength because they don't have enough of th...
If life has taught me anything, it’s that no matter what you should do, you should love. Even if you’re in the process of murdering someone, possibly a politician, your heart should be filled with love.
We have to remember not to tell them, each of them, that they are our new leader. It would only frighten them off, W. says. No one should ever know he or she is our leader, we agree. Only we should know. And we should follow them in secret.
For the canons of good society are, or should be, the same as the canons of art. Form is absolutely essential to it. It should have the dignity of a ceremony, as well as its unreality, and should combine the insincere character of a romantic play wit...
Who made the law that men should die in meadows? Who spake the word that blood should splash in lanes? Who gave it forth that gardens should be boneyards? Who spread the hills with flesh, and blood, and brains? Who made the law?" Leslie Coulson
