Santa Quotes - Page 9

• Adults trying to protect children from reality, right? And adults always trying to fill children with fantasy - the tooth fairy, Santa, make-believe games, etc. But kids are really smart, I think they know from an early age about death, this void and hole they are immediately traveling toward.

• Cuando era niña, la mañana de Navidad mi madre dejaba un libro envuelto a los pies de la cama, lo que era una pista de que Papá Noel había llegado. También era su forma de mantenernos en la cama un poco más antes de bajar. Así que siempre he asociado los libros con la felicidad y los regalos. Y lo son. No me canso de leerlos.

• When I was a freshman in high school, I got a letterman jacket, which you'd think would be great stock. The jacket had the big S on it, for Santa Monica. But rather than having a football or a baseball on the S, I had a little nine iron. Girls thought it was a flute.

• It is often argued that religion is valuable because it makes men good, but even if this were true it would not be a proof that religion is true. That would be an extension of pragmatism beyond endurance. Santa Claus makes children good in precisely the same way, and yet no one would argue seriously that the fact proves his existence. The defense of religion is full of such logical imbecilities.

• The idea of God as a fatherly figure who looks down on us and worries about how we're doing or takes sides when we have fights - it's more irritating than Santa Claus. The world and the universe are far more wonderful if there's not a puppet master.

• Lo que tengo en contra de la religión es que te inician cuando estás tan indefenso. Yo tenía tres años cuando empezaron a meterme esa mierda en la cabeza. Creía en Papá Noel y en el Hada Madrina, por supuesto que creía en un nacimiento virginal, y que un tipo vivía en una ballena, y que una mujer salió de una costilla. Pero entonces pasó algo que me hizo dudar de todo eso: ¡Me gradué en sexto curso!

• It would take more than long-stemmed roses to change my view that you're a despicable cowardy custard and a disgrace to a proud family. Your ancestors fought in the Crusades and were often mentioned in despatches, and you cringe like a salted snail at the thought of appearing as Santa Claus before an audience of charming children who wouldn't hurt a fly. It's enough to make an aunt turn her face to the wall and give up the struggle.
