The way I see it, God gave me the body, so I intend to use it. It’s a big ego trip.... You know, you look around a bar, you pick out a guy and you say, that’s the one: I’m going to take all of his money tonight.
—Teresa Beaty (b. c. 1975)
“I gave no prescriptions,
And those who have taken my moods for prophecies
Mistake the matter.”
—Louis Simpson (b. 1923)
He asked water, and she gave him milk; she brought forth butter in
a lordly dish.
She put her hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workmen’s
hammer; and with the hammer she smote Sis’e-ra, she smote off his
head, when she had pierced and stricken through his temples.
—Bible: Hebrew Judges (l. V, 25–26)
