“Without the Mexican labor much of the city’s infrastructure wouldn’t be built.”
PBS Latino Americans Documentary

Rick Yancey
“I prefer not to call them demons. It demeans their nature.

"But isn't that what they are?"

"We should pity them more than fear them Alfred. They were angels once."

"Yea, but didn't you say they rebelled against God? They got what they deserved."

"Perhaps." He sighed. "Yet do we not all hope and pray that we ourselves escape that we truly deserve? None have fallen as far or as irrevocably as the outcasts of heaven. Did you not find them beautiful." "...They have gazed upon the very face of God, the face they will see no more for all eternity-and so I pity them. Even as I envy them for having seen it.”
Rick Yancey, The Seal of Solomon

Todd Rose
“I care a lot about people finding their own path, and I think the world’s a better place if we let people figure out their passions and what they’re good at and give them the knowledge and skills to do that, but our education system isn’t designed to do that — it rounds you out and makes you interchangeable with everyone else.”
Todd Rose

“Technology is amazing. We humans are more connected than ever, but sometimes it can disconnect us from people we love most.”
Brad Montague and Robby Novak

J. Budziszewski
“God could have made a single self-sufficient sex that felt perfectly complete and didn't long for anybody, but He didn't. Why not?

Do you know what I think? I think God made us male and female because we need to long for each other. It's not good not to long for someone; it's not good to be absorbed in yourself. Somehow, each of us needs to get out of self. With the help of God's grace, the marriage of a man and woman can make that happen. Solitary sex can't do that, it sinks him into a looking-glass idol of the self. Casual sex can't do that, it merely uses the other for the purposes of the self.

But a marriage with Christ at the center of it pulls you right out of yourself. It teaches each partner, the husband and the wife, to forget about self for a while in care and sacrifice for the other. We come to ourselves by losing ourselves.”
J. Budziszewski
