“That line was really cheesy,” I said as I pushed my face into her fur. “Yeah, I’m still working on it,” she said. “I stole it from some movie. Now let’s go kill that nun.”
“The dread had not left my soul. But there was a kitten on my pillow, and it was purring in my face and vibrating gently with every purr, and, very soon, I slept.”

“I sang it to myself, the whole song, all the way through, two or three times, and I was relieved that I remembered the words, even if I did not always understand them.”

“God scoffs at (smiles at) those he sees denouncing the evils of which they are the cause.”

“But what did that prove? Only that still more stringent measures should be applied.
"How? You can't make more stringent ones than those we have now."

“Now for some hope. It's Easter Sunday. The day that is usually spent with family and friends. This year is more chill. That's all. Just hanging out by staying in. ON the other side of this we will all talk about this time. It will be like where you were for the great quake of 1989 or 9-11 or where you were when JFK was shot. It's going to be one of those kinds of moments. BUT the we made it through those times. We will make it through this. We are stronger together. Plus we will have a big Easter together next year! This year let's all just chill in place.”
