All writers of the Chaldaean period associate monotheism in the closest way with unity of worship.

The stone which Jacob consecrated at Bethel the generation of the living continues to anoint, paying the tithes which of old he vowed to the house of God there.

The Priestly Code preponderates over the rest of the legislation in force, as well as in bulk; in all matters of primary importance it is the normal and final authority.

It is only in the case of the Priestly Code that opinions differ widely; for it tries hard to imitate the costume of the Mosaic period, and, with whatever success, to disguise its own.

For the earliest period of the history of Israel, all that precedes the building of the temple, not a trace can be found of any sanctuary of exclusive legitimacy.

To my thinking, this: - that the Priestly Code rests upon the result which is only the aim of Deuteronomy.

And finally, it was Deuteronomy that brought about the historical result of Josiah's reformation.

I guess forgiveness, like happiness, isn’t a final destination. You don’t one day get there and get to stay.

Better to accept whatever happens.

Sometimes I stand there going, 'I'm not doing any of this right!' And then I get this big man belch out of her, and I go, 'Ah, we accomplished this together.'

In order to love simply, it is necessary to know how to show love.

I think there are steps that can be taken that haven't been required or energy to make that fight more secure and we are going to continue to push the federal government to do that.

I let my feet spend as little time on the ground as possible. From the air, fast down, and from the ground, fast up.

I don't really want to direct myself, but I'm certainly torn in that direction.

I was bruised, but I wasn’t broken.

It's been over 15 years since I toured... over 12 years since I did any recording under my own name. I never really intended to take that long of a hiatus.

Ethnic stereotypes are boring and stressful and sometimes criminal. It's just not a good way to think. It's non-thinking. It's stupid and destructive.
