"I have a hard time with the idea of two sects Catholic and Protestants being at odds with one another’s religious beliefs. I certainly wouldn’t have taken my anger out on the streets of Belfast or Londonderry. The rants of Ian Paisley against Catholic is what I’d like to delve deeper into. Like growing up in Chicago at a very young age I was hearing slurs about Jewish people. Not really knowing why?" Oct 28, 2025 08:50AM

Dick Francis
“Most people think, when they're young, that they're going to the top of their chosen world, and that the climb up is only a formality. Without that faith, I suppose, they might never start. Somewhere on the way they lift their eyes to the summit and know they aren't going to reach it; and happiness then is looking down and enjoying the view they've got, not envying the one they haven't.”
Dick Francis, Reflex
