“Dis maklik om te sê die kerk is ’n droë ou moeder. Tog wil ek my nie indink wat sal in die woestyn van barmhartigheid gebeur as die wêreld op ’n oggend wakker word en alle kerke het oornag hulle deure gesluit en hulle aktiwiteite gestaak nie. Geen brood om uit te deel nie. Geen sendingstasies of sopkombuise nie. Niemand om mense te doop en te begrawe nie. Eers op daardie dag sal ons besef die ou moeder was toe al die tyd nie so dor as wat ons gedink het nie.”

“Anyway, I don’t know what your plans are, but we’re on our way to church, and the rest of our church would love to meet you and thank you for all you’ve done.” That was one of the most hellish proposals I’d ever heard, and I’ve had crime lords threaten to do all manner of nasty things to me.”
― Frank J. Fleming, Superego

“So friends care about each other and their problems. That was something I’d have to remember to fake.”
― Frank J. Fleming, Superego

“Oh, but Barack Obama was no mere man. He was a paragon of intelligence and civilized society. A savior to the world’s depressed. A lightbringer. A genius thinking thoughts the common man could never hope to comprehend. And his words—his beautiful words read from crystal panes—reached down to our souls and told us all would be well. With the simple act of casting a ballot for Barack Obama, we could make the world an immeasurably better place—a world of peace, of love, of understanding, of unicorns, of rainbows, of expanded entitlements. This was his promise. And now, having had him as president for more than two years, we can say without reservation that he has delivered all his promises and more and is the best president this country—or any country—has ever had or could even imagine to have.”
