#4. Successful writers say you should never work from a desk with a view, and the view I have from this one is a huge distraction. There's a garden bursting with fresh vegetation, and just beyond the high wall at the end of it, I can see the sign of the local pub across the road. Distractions, eh? I'm so easily led. #Quote by Matt Roper

#6. The problem with our churches today is that the lead pastor is some sissy boy who wears cardigan sweaters, has The Carpenters dialed in on his iPod, gets his hair cut at a salon instead of a barber shop, hasn't been to an Ultimate Fighting match, works out on an elliptical machine instead of going to isolated regions of Russia like in Rocky IV in order to harvest lumber with his teeth, and generally swishes around like Jack from Three's Company whenever Mr. Roper was around. #Quote by Mark Driscoll

#7. "Historians of every generation, I believe, unless they are pure antiquarians, see history against the background - the controlling background - of current events.

#10. I'd never seen a Christmas tree so big in person.
"Isn't she beautiful?" Deidra asked when she reached my side.
I'd been so busy gawking I hadn't heard her approach.
"It's huge." Again with the stating the obvious. "Where'd you
get it?"
"Gregory grows them at the edge of the property."
Sure, because getting a tree that big so far from the city was
completely ludicrous. No wonder the entire house smelled of
pine. "How'd you get it in here?"
"Do you really want to know or do you want to help decorate it?"
Deidra picked up my bags of presents and brought them toward the
monster tree. They'd already wrapped it with white twinkle lights.
"I think I saw a squirrel in there," I teased, finally able to
move. The closer I got the bigger the tree seemed."Really?" one of
the guys said, stopping mid-chorus while the others continued. A
lock of gray hair fell over his forehead when he scanned the tree.
"I could have sworn we'd checked to make sure none of the tenants
were left over."
I chuckled at his consternation. "Chill. I didn't really see one."
Placing his hand at the center of his chest, he breathed a sigh
of relief. Afterwards he rounded the tree, making sure the squirrel
I'd joked about wasn't really there.
Mental note:don't tease the servants.
They were way too dedicated. #Quote by Kate Evangelista

#11. Sympathy is never waisted except when you give it to yourself. #Quote by John W. Roper

#12. WILLIAM ROPER: So now you'd give the Devil benefit of law!
THOMAS MORE: Yes. What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?
ROPER: I'd cut down every law in England to do that!
MORE: Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned round on you -where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country's planted thick with laws from coast to coast -man's laws, not God's -and if you cut them down- and you're just the man to do it -d'you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I'd give the Devil the benefit of the law, for my own safety's sake. #Quote by Robert Bolt

#13. For tonight, I have to get back to Three's Company. I stopped last night in the middle of the episode where Mr. Roper saw something and took it out of context. #Quote by Andy Weir

#14. Thomas More: ... And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned around on you
where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country's planted thick with laws from coast to coast
man's laws, not God's
and if you cut them down ... d'you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake. #Quote by Robert Bolt

#15. I'd go there again if I had the funding," Roper told me wistfully. One of his big issues is the lack of funding for ocean research, something he feels is both unwise and unjust. "Why aren't we spending billions studying our oceans?" he asked me. "We know more about the moon's behind than we do about the ocean's bottom. #Quote by Wendy Williams
