Quotes on another blog
January 19th 2011 20:19
I've been reposting quotes on this blog over the last couple of months or so, but I also put quotes on my main blog - in fact, that's what it's purpose was intended to be when I first began it. If you go right back to the beginning you'll find it mainly consists of quotes.
Anyway, this post is just to point you to a couple of longish quotes that I've recently put on that blog, in case you're a person who enjoys reading such things....
Firstly, two from Joan Metge, out of her book, Tuamaka.
The first of these looks at the wide use of the Maori word, 'hui', and the second picks up a wide variety of uses in contemporary New Zealand English of a couple of other Maori words,
The other quote is from Helmut Thielicke, a German theologian (a far more readable German theologian than many others, incidentally). It's discussing the way in which 'eros' (sex) is debased in contemporary society.
