Gospel According to Pontius Pilate
by James R. Mills
Memorable Quotes by Pontius Pilate:
“"It is not uncommon for parents to contribute to the destruction of their children. Fortunately, the pattern is seldom so imperial"”
“I have always been inclined to the view that his delusions were rooted in the stories that Mary and Joseph told him when he was young. I suppose he would have been as normal as most of us, except for that.”
“"A writer of some note among the Jews, named Philo of Alexandria, charges me with being stubbord--it seems odd to hear that from a Jew---and tyrannnical. He acuuses me of extortion and persecution of his people. He says that I dislike them. However, it is not necessary to ike people to govern them well. Sometimes is is better not to.”
“"they have no merry gods like Bacchus, and the one god they have is terribly serious at every season of the year. They have no festivals in which they see him in a joyful mood...Many a Roman in Judea has felt that, if those bearded puritans could loosen up and celebrate one good Saturnalia, it would diminish the problem they present to themselves and to the world.”
