TwoConservatives: Venerable Book Meme
TwoConservatives leads. I follow!
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open it to page 161.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence along with these instructions.
5. Don’t search around and look for the coolest book you can find. Do what’s actually next to you.
My pick?
"This is the problem of the existence of law, for law is the name given to that which imposes an obligation."
-- from Right and Reason by Fr. Austin Fagothey, S.J., (which beat out Benedict XVI's The Meaning of Christian Brotherhood in a stack of books on my desk).

"Whatever burning fire of faith had borne him, inspired on wings of hope, upward through the branches of the tree in the magic hours of the night, had also not provided him with instructions on how to get back down again when, like altogether too many of these burning fiery nighttime faiths, it had deserted him in the morning"
From Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency by Douglas Adams
From Why Don't Cats like to Swim? By David Feldman
That was such a lame sentence. Can I choose another book?
