To follow Christ is also to identify ourselves with the poor and powerless as he did. The Incarnation is the symbol of this identification. Through his incarnation he inserted himself into the human family and became one with us. As Soares-Prabhu observes, “Jesus ‘declasses’ himself and adopts the life of an itinerant preacher without a home or means of subsistence.”
Kurien Kunnumpuram
When it turned on the Jew, Christianity and European civilization turned on the incarnation — albeit an incarnation often wayward and unaware — of its own best hopes.
George Steiner
Through life’s dark road his sordid way he wends,
An incarnation of fat dividends.Charles Sprague

Isadora Duncan
I don't take criticisms personally, which must be very annoying for people who mean them personally.
