John U. Bacon
“There's a port on a western bay
and it serve 100 ships a day
Lonely sailors pass the time away
And talk about their homes.

There's a girl in this harbour town
And she works laying whiskey down
They say, "Brandy, fetch another round"
She serves them whiskey and wine,

The sailors say, Brandy, you're a fine girl
What a good wife you would be
But my life, my love, and my lady is the sea”
John U. Bacon, The Gales of November: The Untold Story of the Edmund Fitzgerald

Marcel Lefebvre
“I want to be and to stay Catholic. So why am I required to suppress our seminary? Why am I required to suppress our Sacerdotal Fraternity of Saint Pius X? Why am I required not to perform these ordinations? There is only one reason: to bring me into line with this policy. They want me to lend a hand in this destruction of the Church, to join in this communion which, for the Church, is adultery. I will not be an adulterer. I will Keep my Catholic Faith!

That is why I refuse. I refuse to collaborate in the destruction of the Church. I refuse to collaborate in loss of faith, in the general apostasy. I know perfectly well that if I do not perform these ordinations, if I stop, I shall be given nothing.

Ordination sermon of June 29, 1977”
Marcel Lefebvre

Sidney Powell
“right to do what the law does not prohibit, without fear of harassment or punishment, is one of the hallmarks of a free society.”
Sidney Powell, Licensed to Lie: Exposing Corruption in the Department of Justice

Jason Fung
“This is the ancient secret. This is the cycle of life. Fasting follows feasting. Feasting follows fasting. Diets must be intermittent, not steady. Food is a celebration of life. Every single culture in the world celebrates with large feasts. That’s normal, and it’s good. However, religion has always reminded us that we must balance our feasting with periods of fasting—“atonement,” “repentance” or “cleansing.” These ideas are ancient and time-tested. Should you eat lots of food on your birthday? Absolutely. Should you eat lots of food at a wedding? Absolutely. These are times to celebrate and indulge. But there is also a time to fast. We cannot change this cycle of life. We cannot feast all the time. We cannot fast all the time. It won’t work. It doesn’t work.”
Jason Fung, The Obesity Code: Unlocking the Secrets of Weight Loss

Roger Scruton
“Nobody who is alert to beauty, therefore, is without the concept of redemption—of a final transcendence of mortal disorder into a ‘kingdom of ends’. In an age of declining faith art bears enduring witness to the spiritual hunger and immortal longings of our species. Hence aesthetic education matters more today than at any previous period in history.”
Roger Scruton, Beauty: A Very Short Introduction
