Famous quotes containing the words response and/or message:

    Because humans are not alone in exhibiting such behavior—bees stockpile royal jelly, birds feather their nests, mice shred paper—it’s possible that a pregnant woman who scrubs her house from floor to ceiling [just before her baby is born] is responding to a biological imperative . . . . Of course there are those who believe that . . . the burst of energy that propels a pregnant woman to clean her house is a perfectly natural response to their mother’s impending visit.
    Mary Arrigo (20th century)

    For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
    Bible: New Testament, 1 Corinthians 1:18.
