And they found that they had made what was really a lemon situation into lemonade. View quote

It is a short step from the kynical "sublation" of philosophy to the cynical self-denial of what great philosophy had embodied in its best aspects. View quote
Peter Sloterdijk

(Pope Francis)
It is true that going out on to the street implies the risk of accidents happening, as they would to any ordinary man or woman. But if the church stays wrapped up in itself, it will age.
