a: Gospels ~
b: four witnesses in a court

What:

"For somebody who thinks the four gospels are like four witnesses in a court trying to tell exactly how the accident happened, as it were, this is extremely troubling. It is not at all troubling to me because they told me, quite honestly, that they were gospels. And a gospel is good news ... "good" and "news" ... updated interpretation. So when I went into Matthew, I did not expect journalism. I expected gospel. That's what I found. I have no problem with that."

a: civic engagement ~
b: noisy head of the hydra

What:

"Individual civic engagement is like being one, noisy head of the hydra. As members of a larger, living system, we have no choice but to express our pleasure or discontent with what goes on around us through our words and actions. These words and actions will invariably conflict with those of others, but this conflict, these challenges, must happen in order to move the body forward."
