“And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do to his people.” – Exodus 32:14.
“Even then, When two mouths, thirsty each for each, find slaking, And agony's forgot, and hushed the crying Of credulous hearts, in heaven -- such are but taking Their own poor dreams within their arms, and lying Each in his lonely night, each with a ghost.” -- Rupert Brooke, 1913
“Unconceivable, unbelievable; Grammar like a hammer information receivable; Sent by the Lord, here and abroad; with words well adored now they can't be ignored!” Run DMC, “Tougher Than Leather”
“...hypothetical, political, lyrical, Miracle Whip; just like butter, my ryhmes are legit.” -- “Same Song,” Digital Underground.
“...some small boys came out of the city and jeered at him, saying, ‘Go up, you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead!’ And he turned around, and when he saw them, he cursed them in the name of the LORD. And two she-bears came out of the woods and tore forty-two of the boys.” -- 2 Kings 2:23-24
"You don't get it, do you? This isn't 'good cop, bad cop.' This is fag and New Yorker. You're in a lot of trouble."
