Priesthood is forever and does not cease when a priest cannot carry out that priestly ministry.

Times have changed since George Herbert... but the principle and spirit in which he ministered as a priest remains an inspiration and model for all priests.

There is a kind of thinking in the Church that wants to reduce the priest to a mere functionary, a managing director, where administration rather than doctrine and worship are to determine the form of the Church.

We are to introduce our people into the life of the Church, which is salvation, that they may grasp its meaning, its contents and purpose, to taste and see how good the Lord is.

The task of a priest, in some respects, may be different today, but the principles upon which Herbert built his life as a priest are of universal application.

Priesthood is forever and does not cease when a priest cannot carry out that priestly ministry.

As priests uphold their people in prayer, so their people are to uphold them with prayer and love, for he cannot work without his people.

The Incarnation is the medicine of the soul, undoing the Fall and bringing man to the Tree of Life, and the office of a priest is to administer this medicine in the sacraments.

The priest is Christ's slave, and Christ himself took the form of a slave and became obedient to death. So the priest in serving human needs lives a Godward life, possessed by God and witnessing that only when lives are utterly possessed by God do they find their true freedom.

The Church's note must be a supernatural note which distinguishes incarnation from immanence, redemption from evolution, the Kingdom of God from mere spiritual process.

There is a rising generation in this country who do not know God because of a general decay of religion.

Priesthood is not a convenient, historically conditioned form of Church organisation, but is rooted in the Incarnation, in the priesthood and mission of Christ himself.

Many people experience Gethsemane moments.

We must preserve our planet and grow our economy simultaneously. We cannot become more prosperous without the living systems upon which our prosperity depends.

I got to go back and perform 'God Made Girls' on 'The Voice,' which was awesome. I also got invited to sing on the 'Grand Ole Opry,' which was another unbelievable moment.

You can't blame gravity for falling in love.

'The Simpsons' is about alienation and the ambivalence of living with a family who you love but who drive you completely crazy.

I've always avoided publicity. I've never been good copy at any stage of my life. I don't strive for it, because I don't think it's important whether I'm good copy or not. The two can go together, if that's your personality, but every person on this earth is unique.

Economic issues are a subset of social justice. Social justice is unimaginable without economic justice. Isn't that obvious?

Some of the stuff I do on the court is what most people think they can do.

I really enjoy playing America. I like the audiences there. It's the home of a lot of music I grew up with.

Life likes jokes; life is constantly making jokes, even at the most inopportune moments.

I liked the fact that 'My Week With Marilyn' wasn't a biopic.

No one gossips about other peoples secret virtues.

I don't allow meat in my house or in my oven. My whole family is vegetarian - and although I've given my kids the choice to order meat at a restaurant when they reach five, they're not interested.

I don't have a steady relationship. That's something that women in politics deal with. For some reason, men in politics seem to have a larger charisma, and women drop around their feet. I haven't noticed that so much for me.

Advertising is a valuable economic factor because it is the cheapest way of selling goods, particularly if the goods are worthless.

Religion is confining and imprisoning and toxic because it is based on ideology and dogma. But spirituality is redeeming and universal.

Law and Justice are the most vindictive gang in Europe.

Venezuelans have a deep democratic conviction. If the government hotheads ventured out to stir violence they would encounter the armed forces. I don't believe the armed forces respond to a political party.

Those people are unabashedly ruthless as far as money is concerned.

When I was trying to impress Kate I was trying to cook these amazing fancy dinners and what would happen was I would burn something, something would overspill, something would catch on fire and she would be sitting in the background trying to help, and basically taking control of the whole situation, so I was quite glad she was there at the time.

The future belongs to us, because we have taken charge of it. We have the commitment, we have the resourcefulness, and we have the strength of our people to share the dream across Africa of clean water for all.

Guess what? The world changes. eBay has defined e-commerce.

The human race has one really effective weapon, and that is laughter.

Yeah, I do feel badly sometimes, not for whose coming up and getting roles I'm not right for anymore but the people I compete with, who range from Uma Thurman on up.

What are the sources of poetry? Love and death and the paradox of love and death. All poetry from the beginning is about Eros and Thanatos. Those are the only subjects. And how Eros and Thanatos interweave.
