Stewie: Ah, look at this, she's taped photographs of Virginia Woolf and Katy Perry on the inside cover, as if she's some sort of hip hybrid of those two things.
Brian: Yeah, like she could ever write "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"
Stewie: "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" was not written by Virginia Woolf.
Brian: Yeah, obviously, but y'know, it's pretty much about her.
Stewie: It really isn't, Brian.

I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.

Rulers must understand that they are not placed over stocks and stones, nor over swine and dogs, but over the congregation of God: they must therefore be afraid of acting against God himself when they act unjustly.

How quickly death unrobes the great. He is no advocate for liberty, but in promoting equality he is a masterly democrat. No places are too high for death's arrows

They know not, neither will they understand. A wretched plight for a nation to be in when its justices know no justice, and its judges are devoid of judgment. Neither to know his duty nor to wish to know it is rather the mark of an incorrigible criminal than of a magistrate, yet such a stigma was justly set upon the rulers of Israel. They walk on in darkness. They are as reckless as they are ignorant. Being both ignorant and wicked they yet dare to pursue a path in which knowledge and righteousness are essential: they go on without hesitation, forgetful of the responsibilities in which they are involved, and the punishment which they are incurring. All the foundations of the earth are out of course. When the dispensers of law have dispensed with justice, settlements are unsettled, society is unhinged, the whole fabric of the nation is shaken. When injustice is committed in due course of law the world is indeed out of course. When "Justices' justice" becomes a byword it is time that justice dealt with justices. Surely it would be well that certain of "the great unpaid" should be paid off, when day after day their judgments show that they have no judgment. When peasants may be horsewhipped by farmers with impunity, and a pretty bird is thought more precious than poor men, the foundations of the earth are indeed sinking like rotten piles unable to bear up the structures built upon them. Thank God we have, as an almost invariable rule, incorruptible judges; may it always be so. Even our lesser magistrates are, in general, most worthy men; for which we ought to be grateful to God evermore.

The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed

I prefer to take it more literally. The relationships we form with siblings are like nothing else. They're easy but the're tense, supportive but competitive and they have a way of reverting us to adolescence in the best and (more often) worst ways. And that's when they're going well.

The Blair creature appears in a black shirt and a gold chain. What does he think he is? The bomber of Belgrade and Baghdad, and the man who let in the biggest wave of immigration in our history, never understood what was actually going on. If he did, he’d be in hiding. He wanted to be a rock star, but failed. He wanted to be a lawyer, and failed at that too. So he chose politics, the only trade where failure is rewarded with riches and praise.

CONTAGION

On the highly selective bowdlerisation of TV series, I see it's the same predictable, narrowly defined set of sensibilities which must be protected from the risk of offence. For the BBC to claim that it has a general policy not to cause offence is of course completely risible. The Corporation continually boasts and crows about its much cherished freedom to shock and "occasionally cause offence" - just as long as it's only the people it despises ( traditionalists, conservatives, Christians, etc.) who are offended. Their sensibilities can be dismissed and waived away in a single, glib press release. Whereas if you're a member of TWMNBOAAP those who must not be offended at any price, they'll re-edit the programme for you.

He's just not that into EU

‘But another very important point he keeps on getting wrong is his insistence that he wouldn't want the kind of relationship with the EU enjoyed by the Norwegians, because although they have full access to the single market, as members of the European Free Trade Association (Efta), they only do so at the price of having to obey rules they have no part in shaping: what is dismissively described as "fax democracy". Mr Cameron clearly has not been properly briefed: the Norwegians in fact have more influence on shaping the rules of the single market than Britain does. ‘Like many other people, he hasn't grasped that the vast majority of the single market's rules are decided by a whole range of international and global bodies even higher than the EU - from the International Labour Organisation, which decides working-time rules, to the UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation, which agrees worldwide standards on food safety and plant and animal health. On these bodies, Norway is represented in its own right, as an independent country, while Britain is only represented as one of the 28 members of the EU.

It is the humble man who does the big things. It is the humble man who does the bold things. It is the humble man who has the sensational sights vouchsafed to him, and this for three obvious reasons: first, that he strains his eyes more than any other men to see them; second, that he is more overwhelmed and uplifted with them when they come; third, that he records them more exactly and sincerely and with less adulteration from his more commonplace and more conceited everyday self. Adventures are to those to whom they are most unexpected--that is, most romantic. Adventures are to the shy: in this sense adventures are to the unadventurous.

As a recognised, registered and duly patronised ‘minority’ (the patronising laid on thick so that they can never forget their reduced standing) Christians may be able to wear crosses on their clothes provided an officious health and safety officer doesn’t rule them unhygienic.

Black British History? You believe black and mixed race kids need role models for an integrated society then! So what exactly is wrong with Ms Nightingale? Her colour? How can you have black role models for black kids resulting in integration? Utter nonsense.
