WIST Quotations Has Moved!Aug 29, 2025

A quotation from Robert Ingersoll

I thank Luther for protesting against the abuses of the church, and I denounce him because he was the enemy of liberty. I thank Calvin for writing a book in favor of religious freedom, and I abhor him because he burned Servetus. I thank Knox for resisting Episcopal persecution, and I hate him because he persecuted in his turn. I thank the Puritans for saying “Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God,” and yet I am compelled to say that they were tyrants themselves.

Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) American lawyer, agnostic, orator
Lecture (1877-06-23), “The Ghosts,” Carson Theater, Carson City, Nevada

Nick and I went to #Edinburgh to catch the Strawmoddie Theatre group again, in Terry Pratchett’s #FeetOfClay. Carrot was a Geordie! Which somehow only made him funnier 😁

A couple of fun musical turns, notably Detritus playing ‘Rock Lobster’, the Python classic ‘I’m a Lumberjack’ & J-Lo’s epic ‘I’m still Nobby from the block’ 😂

They’re doing more #GNUTerryPratchett plays this year so we’ll be back. Great fun! #Discworld #UKtheatre

EDIT: More shows this weekend at Cymera festival!

Cached US Kindle giveaway: 10 copies of Terry Pratchett's FEET OF CLAY, a Discworld novel, and I think it was the 4th or 5th that I read. I loved it. "Either All Days Are Holy Or None Are." This is a mostly-acceptable entry point to DW. #KindleBookGiveaway #GNUTerryPratchett

Sir Terry Pratchett was one of two people who I quoted directly in my dissertation. This line from Feet of Clay was the motto for my introductory chapter:

"This is where we’ve filled ourselves up with so many questions that they’re starting to overflow and become answers."

It resonated with me, because this is what doing research often feels like for me.
