Conversations in Hell
Part I: Locating Hell
"Noi siam venuti al loco ov' i' t'ho detto
che tu vedrai le genti dolorose
c'hanno perduto il ben de l'intelletto."
"We have come to where I warned you
we would find
Those wretched souls who no longer have
The intellectual benefits of the mind."
From a Harvard student's weblog:
Heard in Mather I hope you get gingivitis You want me to get oral cancer?! Goodnight fartface Turd. Turd. Turd. Turd. Turd. Make your own waffles!! Blah blah blah starcraft blah blah starcraft blah starcraft. It's da email da email. And some blue hair! Oohoohoo Izod! 10 gigs! Yeah it smells really bad. Only in the stairs though.

" … one more line / unravelling from the dark design / spun by God and Cotton Mather"
— Robert Lowell
Part II: The Call of Stories
From a website on college fund-raising:
• “The people who come to us bring their stories. They hope they tell them well enough so that we understand the truth of their lives.”—Robert Coles, Harvard professor, The Call of Stories: Teaching and the Moral Imagination
• “If there’s anything worth calling theology, it is listening to people’s stories, listening to them and cherishing them.”—Mary Pellauer, quoted in Kathleen Norris’ Dakota: A Spiritual Geography
From a website on "The West Wing":

From a website illustrating language in Catholic religious stories:
"Headquartered in Dayton, Ohio, the Sisters of the Precious Blood is a Catholic religious congregation…"
From a Catholic religious story by J. R. R. Tolkien:

'Precious, precious, precious!' Gollum cried.
'My Precious! O my Precious!'"
From a website on Philip Pullman, author of His Dark Materials:
"'Stories are the most important thing in the world. Without stories, we wouldn't be human beings at all."
From the same website, a short story:
