“Dr. Murray points to the Nazarite system as what he calls an external scaffolding supporting human efforts at righteousness, reminding the participant that he is set apart. Christ, he said, needed no external reminder that the Father was His joy and that wine was not, that He was Life and was wholly Other from death, that He bore on Himself the shame that long hair but vaguely pointed to.”

“Like characters in good books or movies, families and friends don't communicate with one another in composed prose. It's all action. Even the words we use- the movie characters' dialogue- are action. And it's almost all improvised.”
― David Murray, An Effort to Understand: Hearing One Another (and Ourselves) in a Nation Cracked in Half
