    “I learned early in life that you get places by having the right enemies.”
    —Bishop John Spong (b. 1931)

    “Although the stupid, unthinking world may approve what you have done, in your heart you know that, but for your treachery, the boy you loved would be alive today. If anyone is responsible for his death, you killed him, and for that murder you will live and die in the contempt and loathing of your own heart.”
