If there is a religious agency in our lives, it has to appear in the manner of our times. Not from on high, but a revelation that hides itself in our culture, it will be ground-level, on the street, it'll be coming down the avenue in the traffic, hard to tell apart from anything else.

Like art and politics, gangsterism is a very important avenue of assimilation into society.

It's like driving a car at night. You never see further than your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.
