The texts are remarkably bawdy, which suggests people from the 13th century are very much like us. Fate, drinking and love are still topical today.

When the Devil quotes Scriptures, it's not, really, to deceive, but simply that the masses are so ignorant of theology that somebody has to teach them the elementary texts before he can seduce them.
Paul Goodman
When two texts, or two assertions, perhaps two ideas, are in contradiction, be ready to reconcile them rather than cancel one by the other; regard them as two different facets, or two successive stages, of the same reality, a reality convincingly human just because it is complex.
Marguerite Yourcenar
The faculty tries very hard not to assign books that the students won't need or find useful in their careers. It really hits people in the technical fields, like nursing students. But the texts that they buy become part of their permanent reference library.
George Cartsonis
Businesses are using texts more than ever because they are seeing the power of convenience.
Mike Short
It wasn't until I assembled these texts that I realized that they fell naturally into thematic sections. They're concerned with different fields of study, but you no longer have to be a polymath to blur those. You can type in a keyword and gigantic, world-spanning machines will instantly blur them for you.
Bruce Sterling
The panel exactly mirrors the style, size, subject matter and historical chronology of the Site Q texts.
Marcello Canuto
The lines of poetry, the period of prose, and even the texts of Scripture most frequently recollected and quoted, are those which are felt to be preeminently musical.
William Shenstone
We owe the Aboriginal peoples a debt that is four centuries old. It is their turn to become full partners in developing an even greater Canada. And the reconciliation required may be less a matter of legal texts than of attitudes of the heart.
Romeo Leblanc
The party of God and the party of Literature have more in common than either will admit; their texts may conflict, but their bigotries coincide. Both insist on being the sole custodians of the true word and its only interpreters.
Frederic Raphael
I would get texts like, 'What's up?' and 'Are you thinking about our school? What are your top five college choices right now?' to crazy long ones.
Adrian Cannon
I think the mind-altering effect and the fermentation process made it seem otherworldly. The red color also could represent fertility and fecundity of nature. In early religious texts, there's a lot of allusion to a well-tended vineyard.
Patrick Mcgovern
With the river right down the street here and the whole idea of Sarah Orne Jewett, I thought it would be fitting to commission a composer to set her texts to music.
Harry Moon
In English, we teach people how to read critically. Movies are texts, so we teach students to read them with more understanding and potential with interpretation. If you know how to read it, it will mean a whole lot more to you.
William Palmer
Intelligent design requires no tenet of any specific religion. It does not rely on religious texts, messages from religious leaders or any such thing.
Michael Behe
There are large numbers and proportions of students who read well enough [for us] to assume that they would benefit from these approaches, and we suspect that working more effectively with the high school texts will likely 'pull up' some of those kids who aren't too far below the entry levels of high school.
Timothy Shanahan
The fact that most biology texts act more as cheerleaders for Darwin's theory rather than trying to develop the critical faculties of their students shows the need, I think, for such statements.
Michael Behe
In the time of Galileo it was argued that the texts, 'And the sun stood still ... and hasted not to go down about a whole day' (Joshua x. 13) and 'He laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not move at any time' (Psalm cv. 5) were an adequate refutation of the Copernican theory.
Alan Turing
Sacred texts are universal and their truths are eternal. There is not a thing that we sing that doesn't have our personal conviction.
David Chalmers
Many adults who set aside time for Jewish studies choose to study texts or other subjects, rather than learning Hebrew.
Rachel Miller
Our texts say that your body is the temple of God, and taking care of your body, whatever you eat or drink, is for the glory of God.
Caryn Pierce
The ACT report demonstrates how critical literacy experiences are for high school kids, particularly with regard to assigning them and instructing them in demanding texts in all subjects.
Timothy Shanahan
In those teachings and texts, there is learning everybody can benefit from.
Rami Shapiro
Inscribed texts are of considerable interest to the linguist and philologist. Because of the information contained in them, they are invaluable sources for the historian, archaeologist, art historian and every student of institutions and life in the ancient world.
Kevin Clinton
No matter how thoroughly and searchingly we may have scrutinized works of literature from the historical and biographical point of view, we must be able to tell good from bad, the first-rate from the second-rate. We shall otherwise not write literary criticism at all, but merely social or political history as reflected in literary texts, or psychological case histories from past eras.
