'he Is Very Ugly,' Said

Giving A Phenomenon A Label Does Not Explain It.

I Am Not Alone At All, I Thought. I Was Never Alone At All. And That, Of Course, Is The Message Of Christmas. We Are Never Alone. Not When The Night Is Darkest, The Wind Coldest, The World Seemingly Most Indifferent. For This Is Still The Time God Chooses.

Men Who Retain Irony Are Not To Be Trusted. They Can't Always Resist An Impulse To Tickle Themselves.

. . . A Statement That Is Repugnant To One's Beliefs Can Be As True As One That Is Pleasurable.

Don't Let The Past Steal Your Present. This Is The Message Of Christmas: We Are Never Alone.
