In this dirty-minded world you are either somebody's wife or somebody's whore, or fast on your way to becoming one or the other. - John Irving

In this dirty minded world, you are either someone's wife or someone's whore.

"You've witnessed what you c-c-c-call a miracle and now you believe-you believe everything," Pastor Merrill said. "But miracles don't c-c-c-cause belief-real miracles don't m-m-m-make faith out of thin air; you have to already have faith in order to believe in real miracles."

This is a writer’s lesson:
To learn that the sounds that we imagine can be the clearest, loudest sounds of all.

it's not god who's fucked up, it's the screamers who say they believe in him and who claim to pursue their ends in his holy name.
