“I had an uneasy feeling we might be asked to spend the approaching Christmas with Beatrice. Perhaps I could have influenza.”

REAL

“In a modern context, few people worship “idols” in the sense given in Exodus…Rabbi Joseph Telushkin offers a useful insight on this [2nd] commandment:
From Judaism’s perspective, idolatry occurs when one holds any value (for instance, nationalism) higher than God. Thus, a person who, on the basis of “my country right or wrong,” performs acts that God designates as wrong is an idolater”

interesting!

stepping away from my usual genre (thriller/horror/suspense) to try a fun summer read! i want to like emily henry's books so bad, and i feel like this one would be the one that i vibe with the most so let's see...

“Each man is following his destiny as he feels it should be followed; or is abandoning it as he feels it must, by now, be abandoned; or is forgetting it for the moment as he feels he should forget it. Although everyone is dead serious, there is unmistakable smiling and humor in the scene; a sense of the human body and spirit emerging from the world-imposed state of stress and fretfulness, fear and awkwardness…”

starting this again! literally do not remember a single thing.

“Murderer: What, you egg!
[Stabbing him.]
Young fry of treachery!
Son: He has killed me, mother:
Run away, I pray you!
[Dies.]
Exit [Lady Macduff], crying “Murder!” [followed by Murderers].”

this is such a gem

not the “Thou mayst revenge. O slave! [Dies.]” 😭

"Donalbain: What is amiss?
Macbeth: You are, and do not know't.
The spring, the head, the foundtain of your blood
Is stopped; the very source of it is stopped.
Macduff: Your royal father's murdered."

Macbeth: *waxing poetic*
Macduff: he's dead

started out good but it’s dragging. I couldn’t care less about how they’re (not) building the buildings.
