"A voice with no hunger. No grief. No gossip. A voice that’s never bitten itself trying not to speak. Real language stumbles. It hesitates. It remembers. I think of Tin Ujevic, Croatia’s great poet, who [had] once entered a tavern unshaven and was refused wine. He returned the next day in a suit. They served him. He poured the wine into his pocket. Feeding the coat, he said. You weren’t serving me. That, too, is language. Who’s being fed? What’s being served?"

"Long ago there was a King called Kakutstha in the Ikṣvāku dynasty. When he was ruling over the kingdom of Ayodhyā, a war broke out between Devas and Asuras. In that war, the Devas were not able to defeat the Asuras. Seeing no other way, Indra assumed the form of a bull and Kakutstha, riding on the back of the bull fought against the Asuras and defeated them."

"You are the strong one, whom I praise, the bull-calf of Anu! You are the strong one, whom I praise."

"When, o Wisdom (Mazda), will the bulls of the days come?"

"...the light of the sun and the shining bull of the midday."

"(Talking to Ruth) My daughter, listen to me. Don’t go and glean in another field and don’t go away from here. Stay here with the women who work for me. Watch the field where the men are harvesting, and follow along after the women. I have told the men not to lay a hand on you. And whenever you are thirsty, go and get a drink from the water jars the men have filled."

"(Talking to Ruth) I’ve been told all about what you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband—how you left your father and mother and your homeland and came to live with a people you did not know before. May the Lord repay you for what you have done. May you be richly rewarded by the Lord, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge."

"My daughter, I must find a home for you, where you will be well provided for. Now Boaz, with whose women you have worked, is a relative of ours. Tonight he will be winnowing barley on the threshing floor. Wash, put on perfume, and get dressed in your best clothes. Then go down to the threshing floor, but don’t let him know you are there until he has finished eating and drinking. When he lies down, note the place where he is lying. Then go and uncover his feet and lie down. He will tell you what to do."

"Salmon the father of Boaz, whose mother was Rahab, / Boaz the father of Obed, whose mother was Ruth, Obed the father of Jesse,..."

"Gospel of Matthew 1:5 NIV (about the Genealogy of Jesus)."

"Despite internal conflicts, the church grew because it offered something many Mexicans sought. They had welcomed the Mexican Revolution and were critical of the Catholic Church’s involvement with the old, reactionary order. However, they were not atheists and did not support the secularist or Marxist ideas of some revolutionary leaders. They were wary of Protestant churches from abroad, especially the United States. La Luz del Mundo was critical of Catholicism, deeply spiritual, and proudly Mexican."

"The idea, repeated today, that Aarón was guilty of immorality but protected because of his connection with , is absurd. It is doubtful that Calles even knew of La Luz del Mundo during his time in office. Later, some local politicians in Guadalajara did speak favorably of the early church—not to win votes, but because they saw its impact. Members in their Hermosa Provincia settlement avoided alcohol, promoted education, and lifted themselves out of poverty. They were, in short, model citizens. Yet the rumors persisted. As the church grew, so did its internal tensions."

"I very strongly believe that you should only give an important job to people who can do it."

"The way people are elected to parliament right now leaves a lot to be desired, vis-à-vis their ability to do what they have been elected to do. I think there’s a huge gap there."

"Just because somebody’s father was a good person in charge of burial societies or helping the elderly and so on, it doesn’t qualify that person to go to parliament. Some will say this man has a right to go to parliament because his grandfather was a great man who did so many things for the nation. Right now, many people get rewarded just like that. I don’t believe in that. I believe that the nation should move towards a space where everyone who is in parliament and is called an honourable member, truly deserves that title because of merit."

"Lately, I have seen an attempt in some quarters to sift through and try to pick people who are equal to the job. I think that should be encouraged."

"As a country, we have become very notorious for being careless people."

"We have a careless parliament by the way. We’ve been told of a missing M6, 1 billion, we’ve also been told of the theft of more than M50 million (by finance ministry staffers). These are massive amounts but you don’t hear parliament pronouncing itself strongly on these matters."

"The thing is that we have four estates, namely, parliament, the executive, the judiciary and the media. As the legislative arm of state, parliament makes laws, the executive implements the same laws while judiciary interprets them. And the media plays a watchdog role over the other three arms of state. The media can only shout and tell the nation that money is being stolen. It cannot do anything else. But parliament is the only institution charged with the oversight function. It has teeth and should be using them to bite, to act against the theft and misappropriation of public funds. Yet it is not performing its oversight function."

"Parliament must make laws and stop the theft of public funds. Right now, we are embarrassed that we were not able to pass the reforms bills. These things were expected of us by our people, SADC and our development partners. Everybody had expectations. It’s not an easy thing to pass laws. But then again, I have an appreciation of what needs to be done and how to talk to people so that they can deliver on their mandate."
