moving hypocrite idols
Charles Caleb Colton Those who worship gold in a world so corrupt as this we live in have at least one thing to plead in defense of their idolatry--the power of their idol. It is true that, like other idols, it can neither move, see, hear, feel, nor understand; but, unlike other idols, it has often communicated all these powers to those who had them not, and annihilated them in those who had. This idol can boast of two peculiarities; it is worshipped in all climates, without a single temple, and by all classes, without a single hypocrite.
moving grace firsts

moving-on break-up breakup

moving unique often-is

The point, which can hardly be repeated too often, is that differentiation is not separation.

moving writing play
Alan Rickman I have every sympathy for writers. It's a mystery to me what they do. I can edit. I can cross out and say, 'I'm not saying that' or, 'How about we move this to here?

You have struck it dead, I think, and I sometimes wish you had struck me dead along with it.
