But what minutes! Count them by sensation, and not by calendars, and each moment is a day.
I've been on a calendar, but I've never been on time.

Regardless of what anyone may personally think or believe about him, Jesus of Nazareth has been the dominant figure in the history of western culture for almost twenty centuries... It is from his birth that most of the human race dates its calendars, it is by his name that millions curse and in his name that millions pray.
