1 " Imagine life without parties. Imagine life without the thousand things we do, large and small, that give shape to who we are, that give extra meaning and value to people, to occasions, to the way we do things. I guess you can just about imagine living without any little outward signs as to what you were thinking – no hugs and kisses at the start and end of the day, no wave of the hand, no handshakes, no raising of a glass to toast a bride, or a colleague, or an exam passed. I suppose we might, if we tried very hard, be able to organize our lives without special meals on special occasions, without special trips to special places, without all those things that bring colour and depth to our world. We might just manage it. But life would be very dull. "
― N.T. Wright , The Meal Jesus Gave Us: Understanding Holy Communion
2 " Luther’s strong point was what Jesus said at the Last Supper: ‘This is my body’. He wrote the Latin in beer-froth on the table: Hoc est corpus meus. "
