From the point of view of the lawful owner this gold is a gift; Form the point of view of the burglar it is a theft. He must go and give it back. It is the same with our existence. We have stolen a little of God's being to make it ours. God has made us a gift of it. But we have stolen it. We must return it.

Bunuel, Luis

32.

We didn't think much in the air corps of a fellow who wangled a cushy job out of his C.O. by buttering him up.
