My own image of my work is that I no sooner settle into something than a break occurs. These breaks are always painful and depressing but despite them I see that there's a consistency that holds out but is hard to define.

In New York if you weigh under 200 pounds and decline so much as a cookie at a co-worker's party women will flock to your side assuring you of your appealing physique. This is how skittish we are about the dangers of anorexia and the pressures of body image.

To terrify children with the image of hell... to consider women an inferior creation. Is that good for the world?

Men are self-confident because they grow up identifying with super-heroes. Women have bad self-images because they grow up identifying with Barbie.

Black women don't have the same body image problems as white women. They are proud of their bodies.

These days our senses are bombarded with aggression. We are constantly confronted with global images of unending escalating war and violence.

There's no doubt that usually a president's public image is enhanced by going to war. That never did appeal to me.

People talk about 'getting rid of the old image' and I guess there's some merit in that. But the truth is that people loved 'The Wonder Years' - I can't turn my back on it.

This evening I wish to suggest that we Christians should accompany people on their pilgrimages. Specifically we should travel with people as they search for the good the true and the beautiful.

Time which changes people does not alter the image we have retained of them.
