"text": "A nation can survive its fools and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners openly against the city. But the traitor moves among those within the gates freely, his sly whispers rustling through all alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears no traitor; he speaks in the accents familiar to his victim, and he wears their face and their garments and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation; he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city; he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared. The traitor is the plague."

Thus, what I am and am capable of is by no means determined by my individuality. I am ugly, but I can buy for myself the most beautiful of women. Therefore I am not ugly, for the effect of ugliness – its deterrent power – is nullified by money. I, according to my individual characteristics, am lame, but money furnishes me with twenty-four feet. Therefore I am not lame. I am bad, dishonest, unscrupulous, stupid; but money is honoured, and hence its possessor. Money is the supreme good, therefore its possessor is good. Money, besides, saves me the trouble of being dishonest: I am therefore presumed honest. I am brainless, but money is the real brain of all things and how then should its possessor be brainless? Besides, he can buy clever people for himself, and is he who has power over the clever not more clever than the clever? Do not I, who, thanks to money, am capable of all that the human heart longs for, possess all human capacities? Does not my money, therefore, transform all my incapacities into their contrary?"

Unless I am able to analyze the unconscious aspects of the society in which I live, I cannot know who I am, because I don't know which part of me is not me."

He cannot help doubting himself and his own convictions, if not his sanity. He cannot help suffering, even though he can experience moments of joy and clarity that are absent in the life of his \"normal\" contemporaries. Not rarely will he suffer from neurosis that results from the situation of a sane man living in an insane society, rather than that of the more conventional neurosis of a sick man trying to adapt himself to a sick society."

Unfortunately, it also makes them prone to see only what they want to see, and the patterns they are used to, and not what is actually in front of them. It makes it hard for them to analyze anything dispassionately : they are both the center of their world and the lens through which they see it. - Matriarch Historian SIYYAS BUR"

"text": "We're all seeking that special person who is right for us. But if you've been through enough relationships, you begin to suspect there's no right person, just different flavors of wrong. Why is this? Because you yourself are wrong in some way, and you seek out partners who are wrong in some complementary way. But it takes a lot of living to grow fully into your own wrongness. And it isn't until you finally run up against your deepest demons, your unsolvable problems--the ones that make you truly who you are--that we're ready to find a lifelong mate. Only then do you finally know what you're looking for. You're looking for the wrong person. But not just any wrong person: the right wrong person--someone you lovingly gaze upon and think, this is the problem I want to have. I will find that special person who is wrong for me in just the right way. Let our scars fall in love."

"text": "Love is a temporary madness, it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion, it is not the desire to mate every second minute of the day, it is not lying awake at night imagining that he is kissing every cranny of your body. No, don't blush, I am telling you some truths. That is just being \"in love\", which any fool can do. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident."

"text": "As it is, we are merely bolting our lives--gulping down undigested experiences as fast as we can stuff them in--because awareness of our own existence is so superficial and so narrow that nothing seems to us more boring than simple being. If I ask you what you did, saw, heard, smelled, touched and tasted yesterday, I am likely to get nothing more than the thin, sketchy outline of the few things that you noticed, and of those only what you thought worth remembering. Is it surprising that an existence so experienced seems so empty and bare that its hunger for an infinite future is insatiable? But suppose you could answer, \"It would take me forever to tell you, and I am much too interested in what's happening now.\" How is it possible that a being with such sensitive jewels as the eyes, such enchanted musical instruments as the ears, and such a fabulous arabesque of nerves as the brain can experience itself as anything less than a god? And, when you consider that this incalculably subtle organism is inseparable from the still more marvelous patterns of its environment--from the minutest electrical designs to the whole company of the galaxies--how is it conceivable that this incarnation of all eternity can be bored with being?"

Which does not necessarily mean that they exist somewhere else, but means rather that they exist in different dimensions of being. What is more, the various worlds interpenetrate and interact in such a way that they can be considered counterparts of one another, each reflecting or projecting itself on the one below or above it, with all the modifications, changes, and even distortions that are the result of such interaction. It is the sum of this infinitely complex exchange of influence back and forth among different domains that comprises the specific world of reality we experience in our everyday life.\r\n\r\nIn speaking of higher or lower worlds, I do not mean to describe an actual physical relation; for in the realm of the spiritual there is no such division, and the worlds \"high\" and \"low\" refer only to the place of any particular world on the ladder of causality. To call a world higher signifies that it is more primary, more basic in terms of being close to a primal source of influence; while a lower world would be a secondary world–in a sense, a copy..."

Torah, Judaism, science, the physical and the spiritual world, this life and the afterlife, religious and non-religious, Jew and non-Jew–all were pieces of a whole, a puzzle which he strove to complete.\r\n\r\nIt was this world view which gave Rabbi Kaplan the extraordinary breadth and depth for which he was famous, the ability to glide between seemingly contradictory or incompatible subjects within a single talk. He was no pedant, though he had an encyclopedic knowledge of both secular and Torah literature. But he had no need of a scholarly pedestal–a profound teaching from the Zohar could be used to clarify a child's questions, and a popular novel could illustrate a fundamental Jewish value. The Midrash could illuminate the Laws of Relativity, and developments in biogenetics could explain Messianic prophecies.\r\n\r\nThere are seventy faces to the Torah: this famous dictum explains the wealth of interpretation, the levels of meaning, to be found in every verse, and indeed, in every word, of the Torah. But for Rabbi Kaplan, the entire world could be a kodesh, holy and a part of the Torah. As such, everything in the world has meaning, layers upon layers of meaning. In this way, he would focus on a social development, a political movement, a scientific advancement, or a new school of thought, and turn it around and around, until he had uncovered an abundance of meanings and ramifications."

While pursuing this goal, driven by an urge which he cannot but obey, Adam the first transcends the limits of the reasonable and probable and ventures into the open spaces of a boundless universe. Even this longing for vastness, no matter how adventurous and fantastic, is legitimate. Man reaching for the distant stars is acting in harmony with his nature which was created, willed and directed by his Maker. It is a manifestation of obedience to rather than rebellion against G-d."

"text": "There is a river in the ocean. In the severest droughts it never fails, and in the mightiest floods it never overflows. The Gulf of Mexico is its fountain, and its mouth is in the Arctic seas. It is the Gulf Stream. There is in the world no other such majestic flow of waters. Its current is more rapid than the Mississippi or the Amazon, and its volume more than a thousand times greater. Its waters, as far out from the Gulf as the Carolina coasts, are of an indigo blue; they are so distinctly marked that their line of junction with the common sea-water may be traced by the eye. Often one-half of a vessel may be perceived floating in the Gulf Stream water, while the other half is in the common water of the sea, so sharp is the line and such is the want of affinity between those waters, and such, too, the reluctance, so to speak, on the part of those of the Gulf Stream to mingle with the common water of the sea.\r\n\r\nThis curious phenomenon in the physical world has its counterpart in the moral. There is a lonely river in the midst of the ocean of mankind. The mightiest floods of human temptation have never caused it to overflow, and the fiercest fires of human cruelty, though seven times heated in the furnace of religious bigotry have never caused it to dry up, although its waves for two thousand years have rolled crimson with the blood of its martyrs. Its fountain is in the grey dawn of the world 's history, and its mouth is somewhere in the shadows of eternity. It, too, refuses to mingle with the surrounding waves, and the line which divides its restless billows from the common waters of humanity is also plainly visible to the eye. It is the Jewish people."

It's the Universe's job not to respect those comfort zones, but to bust 'em. We're not at the mountaintop until any zone is comfortable. Love isn't love until it's unconditional... and the Universe has a highly individualized curriculum for everyone. Every encounter, every circumstance can be used for these purposes."

All we have to do is, as it were, to make a little clearing in the wild jungle of our human will, and then keep our rendezvous with our Creator. He is sure to come; His presence falls like a comforting shadow, and then we are at peace. Our tiny exercise in Time is lost in the immensity of Eternity as Blake puts it: \"all the world is a grain of sand, infinity in the palm of your hand'(page 66).\""

"text": "The process of death wishing, in the guise of liberalism has been eroding the civilization of the West for a century or more, and now would seem to be about to reach its apogee. The Liberal mind, effective everywhere, whether in power or in opposition, has provided the perfect instrument. Systematically, stage by stage, dismantling our Western way of life, depreciating and deprecating all its values so that the whole social structure is now tumbling down, dethroning its God, undermining all its certainties. And all this, wonderfully enough, in the name of the health, wealth and happiness of all mankind. Previous civilizations have been overthrown from without by the incursion of barbarians hordes; ours has dreamed up its own dissolution in the minds of its own intellectual elites. \r\n\r\nNot Bolshevism, not Nazism, which perished with Hitler in his Berlin bunker; not Fascism, which was left hanging upside down from a lamp-post along with Mussolini and his mistress - - none of these, history will record, was responsible for bringing down the darkness on our civilization, but Liberalism. A solvent rather than a precipitate, a sedative rather than a stimulant, a slough rather than a precipice; blurring the edges of truth, the definition of virtue, the shape of beauty; a cracked bell, a mist, a death wish. . . It was, of course Darwin's theory of Natural Selection which first popularized the notion that Man and his environment are involved in an endless and automatic process of improvement. Who can measure the consequences of this naive assumption. What secret subversive organization, endowed with unlimited funds and resources, could hope to achieve a thousandth of what it achieved in the way of discrediting the then prevailing moral values and assumptions, putting in their place nothing more than vague, sentimental hopes of collective human betterment, and the Liberal Mind to entertain them (page 61)?\r\n\r\n"

\r\n And how should I presume?\r\n\r\n And I have known the arms already, known them all--\r\nArms that are braceleted and white and bare\r\n[But in the lamplight, downed with light brown hair!]\r\nIs it perfume from a dress\r\nThat makes me so digress?\r\nArms that lie along a table, or wrap about a shawl.\r\n And should I then presume?\r\n And how should I begin?\r\n . . . . .\r\n\r\nShall I say, I have gone at dusk through narrow streets \r\nAnd watched the smoke that rises from the pipes\r\nOf lonely men in shirt-sleeves, leaning out of windows? . . .\r\n\r\nI should have been a pair of ragged claws\r\nScuttling across the floors of silent seas.\r\n . . . . .\r\n\r\nAnd the afternoon, the evening, sleeps so peacefully!\r\nSmoothed by long fingers,\r\nAsleep . . . tired . . . or it malingers,\r\nStretched on the floor, here beside you and me.\r\nShould I, after tea and cakes and ices,\r\nHave the strength to force the moment to its crisis? \r\nBut though I have wept and fasted, wept and prayed,\r\nThough I have seen my head (grown slightly bald) brought in upon a platter,\r\nI am no prophet–and here's no great matter;\r\nI have seen the moment of my greatness flicker,\r\nAnd I have seen the eternal Footman hold my coat, and snicker,\r\nAnd in short, I was afraid.\r\n\r\n And would it have been worth it, after all,\r\nAfter the cups, the marmalade, the tea,\r\nAmong the porcelain, among some talk of you and me,\r\nWould it have been worth while, \r\nTo have bitten off the matter with a smile,\r\nTo have squeezed the universe into a ball\r\nTo roll it toward some overwhelming question,\r\nTo say: \"I am Lazarus, come from the dead,\r\nCome back to tell you all, I shall tell you all\"\r\nIf one, settling a pillow by her head,\r\n Should say, \"That is not what I meant at all.\r\n That is not it, at all.\"\r\n\r\n And would it have been worth it, after all,\r\nWould it have been worth while, \r\nAfter the sunsets and the dooryards and the sprinkled streets,\r\nAfter the novels, after the teacups, after the skirts that trail along the floor--\r\nAnd this, and so much more?--\r\nIt is impossible to say just what I mean!\r\nBut as if a magic lantern threw the nerves in patterns on a screen:\r\nWould it have been worth while\r\nIf one, settling a pillow or throwing off a shawl,\r\nAnd turning toward the window, should say:\r\n \"That is not it at all,\r\n That is not what I meant, at all.\" 110\r\n . . . . .\r\n\r\nNo! I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be;\r\nAm an attendant lord, one that will do\r\nTo swell a progress, start a scene or two\r\nAdvise the prince; no doubt, an easy tool,\r\nDeferential, glad to be of use,\r\nPolitic, cautious, and meticulous;\r\nFull of high sentence, but a bit obtuse;\r\nAt times, indeed, almost ridiculous--\r\nAlmost, at times, the Fool.\r\n\r\n I grow old . . . I grow old . . . \r\n \r\nI shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.\r\n\r\n Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?\r\nI shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.\r\nI have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.\r\n\r\n I do not think they will sing to me.\r\n\r\n I have seen them riding seaward on the waves\r\nCombing the white hair of the waves blown back\r\nWhen the wind blows the water white and black.\r\n\r\n We have lingered in the chambers of the sea\r\nBy sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown \r\nTill human voices wake us, and we drown."

Or, maybe, not quite?\r\nOr go around back and sneak in from behind?\r\nSimple it's not, I'm afraid you will find,\r\nfor a mind-maker-upper to make up his mind.\r\n\r\nYou can get so confused\r\nthat you'll start in to race\r\ndown long wiggled roads at a break-necking pace\r\nand grind on for miles across weirdish wild space,\r\nheaded, I fear, toward a most useless place.\r\nThe Waiting Place...\r\n\r\n...for people just waiting.\r\nWaiting for a train to go\r\nor a bus to come, or a plane to go\r\nor the mail to come, or the rain to go\r\nor the phone to ring, or the snow to snow\r\nor waiting around for a Yes or a No\r\nor waiting for their hair to grow.\r\nEveryone is just waiting.\r\n\r\nWaiting for the fish to bite\r\nor waiting for wind to fly a kite\r\nor waiting around for Friday night\r\nor waiting, perhaps, for their Uncle Jake\r\nor a pot to boil, or a Better Break\r\nor a string of pearls, or a pair of pants\r\nor a wig with curls, or Another Chance.\r\nEveryone is just waiting.\r\n\r\nNO!\r\nThat's not for you!\r\n\r\nSomehow you'll escape\r\nall that waiting and staying.\r\nYou'll find the bright places\r\nwhere Boom Bands are playing.\r\n\r\nWith banner flip-flapping,\r\nonce more you'll ride high!\r\nReady for anything under the sky.\r\nReady because you're that kind of a guy!\r\n\r\nOh, the places you'll go! There is fun to be done!\r\nThere are points to be scored. there are games to be won.\r\nAnd the magical things you can do with that ball\r\nwill make you the winning-est winner of all.\r\nFame! You'll be famous as famous can be,\r\nwith the whole wide world watching you win on TV.\r\n\r\nExcept when they don't.\r\nBecause, sometimes, they won't.\r\n\r\nI'm afraid that some times\r\nyou'll play lonely games too.\r\nGames you can't win\r\n'cause you'll play against you.\r\n\r\nAll Alone!\r\nWhether you like it or not,\r\nAlone will be something\r\nyou'll be quite a lot.\r\n\r\nAnd when you're alone, there's a very good chance\r\nyou'll meet things that scare you right out of your pants.\r\nThere are some, down the road between hither and yon,\r\nthat can scare you so much you won't want to go on.\r\n\r\nBut on you will go\r\nthough the weather be foul\r\nOn you will go\r\nthough your enemies prowl\r\nOn you will go\r\nthough the Hakken-Kraks howl\r\nOnward up many\r\na frightening creek,\r\nthough your arms may get sore\r\nand your sneakers may leak.\r\n\r\nOn and on you will hike\r\nand I know you'll hike far\r\nand face up to your problems\r\nwhatever they are.\r\n\r\nYou'll get mixed up, of course,\r\nas you already know.\r\nYou'll get mixed up\r\nwith many strange birds as you go.\r\nSo be sure when you step.\r\nStep with care and great tact\r\nand remember that Life's\r\na Great Balancing Act.\r\nJust never forget to be dexterous and deft.\r\nAnd never mix up your right foot with your left.\r\n\r\nAnd will you succeed?\r\nYes! You will, indeed!\r\n(98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed.)\r\n\r\nKID, YOU'LL MOVE MOUNTAINS!\r\n\r\nSo...\r\nbe your name Buxbaum or Bixby or Bray\r\nor Mordecai Ali Van Allen O'Shea,\r\nyou're off to Great Places!\r\nToday is your day!\r\nYour mountain is waiting.\r\nSo...get on your way!"

It is one thing to conclude that it is right and another to conclude that it is always right. I had never believed the tradition that is was diabolical; I had soon come to doubt the idea that it was inhuman, but that would only have left me with the obvious inference that it was human. It is a considerable step from that to the inference that it is divine. When we come to that conviction of divine authority, we come to the more mysterious matter of divine aid. In other words, we come to the unfathomable idea of grace and the gift of faith; and I have not the smallest intention of attempting to fathom it. It is a theological question of the utmost complexity; and it is one thing to feel it as a fact and another to define it as a truth.\r\n--G. K. Chesterton"

No human lover would allow that if he could help it. Neither did God. Papal infallibility, like every other Catholic dogma, is properly understood only by the primacy of love.\r\nInfallibility is God's loving gift in response to our need to persevere in the unity of love and truth--which is what God wants above all because that is what he is: love (1 Jn 4:18) and truth (Jn 6:14). Without infallibility, uncertainties and schisms are inevitable among us fallen and foolish humans for whom Christ designed his Church.\r\nThe gift of infallibility flows from God's character. He is so generous that he does not hold back anything that we need. He is not a stingy God! The creation of the world, the Incarnation and death of Christ, the gift of the Holy Spirit, the Eucharist, and heaven are six spectacular examples of God's unpredictable and amazing generosity. The gift of infallibility to the Church fits this same pattern.53\r\n--Peter Kreeft"

Then when I observed that public affairs were so ordered that the sources of the power of the Roman Pontiff would necessarily be examined, I gave myself up to a most diligent examination of that question for the space of seven years, and found that the authority of the Roman Pontiff which you rashly--I will not use stronger language--have set aside, is not only lawful, to be respected, and necessary, but also grounded on the Divine law and prescription. That is my opinion, that is the belief in which by the grace of God I shall die.\" \r\n--St. Thomas More, quoted in Luke Rivington, Authority; or a Plain Reason For Joining the Church of Rome \r\n"

It is unimaginable how this drastic step was taken by people who had all the good intentions in the world.\r\n\r\nYou may never have even suspected what has destroyed love. It is the continuous teaching of love that has destroyed it.\r\n\r\nHate is still pure, love is not. When you hate, your hate has an authenticity. And when you love it is only hypocrisy.\r\n\r\nThis has to be understood. For thousands of years all the religions, politicians, pedagogues, have been teaching one thing, and that one thing is love: Love your enemy, love your neighbor, love your parents, love God. Why in the beginning did they start this strange series of teachings about love?\r\n\r\nThey were afraid of your authentic love, because authentic love is beyond their control.You are possessed by it. You are not the possessor, you are the possessed. And every society wants you to be in control. The society is afraid of your wild nature, it is afraid of your naturalness, so from the very beginning it starts cutting your wings. And the most basic thing which is dangerous in you is the possibility of love, because if you are possessed by love you can go even against the whole world."

When we're frightened, the hair on our skin stands up, just like it did when we had fur. We ARE history! Everything we've ever been on the way to becoming us, we still are. Would you like the rest of the story? I'm made up of the memories of my parents and my grandparents, all my ancestors. They're in the way I look, in the color of my hair. And I'm made up of everyone I've ever met who's changed the way I think."

So train your mind to dwell on sweet perfumes, the touch of this silk, tender raindrops against the shoji, the curve of this flower arrangement, the tranquility of dawn. Then, at length, you won't have to make such a great effort. "

Pessimism about man serves to maintain the status quo. It is a luxury for the affluent, a sop to the guilt of the politically inactive, a comfort to those who continue to enjoy the amenities of privilege."

For me, I am driven by two main philosophies, know more today about the world than I knew yesterday. And lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you."

But mainly because, to understand someone, it's not enough to sit there tapping your foot while he talks. You've got to listen, rather than merely waiting for a pause so that you can insert the response you'd already formulated before he even opened his mouth. And when you're a young man who thinks he's got the religious question all figured out, you're in little mood to listen -- especially if you've fallen in love with one side of the question, the side that's new and sexy because it's not what you grew up believing."

Nothing less than a restoration of the shattered covenant will save us. That will require a fundamental transformation of our ways of thinking, feeling, and acting. At the core of prophetic religion is transformation--a change of heart, a revolution of the spirit, a conversion of the soul that isues forth in new personal and social behavior... We are suffering today not just from greed, injustice, and violence, but from a lack of imagination. For lack of a vision, we are perishing. We need new visions and dreams; our future depends upon fresh imagination."

At what point, then, is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us; it cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen we must live through all time, or die by suicide."

To be allowed, like Endymion, to make love to the moon and then to complain that Jupiter kept his own moons in a harem seemed to me (bred on fairy tales like Endymion's) a vulgar anti-climax. Keeping to one woman is a small price for so much as seeing one woman. To complain that I could only be married once was like complaining that I had only been born once. It was incommensurate with the terrible excitement of which one was talking. It showed, not an exaggerated sensibility to sex, but a curious insensibility to it. A man is a fool who complains that he cannot enter Eden by five gates at once."

They make flippant comments from buses that imply you're not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else. They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate. They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it. They are \"The Advertisers\" and they are laughing at you.\r\n\r\nYou, however, are forbidden to touch them. Trademarks, intellectual property rights and copyright law mean advertisers can say what they like wherever they like with total impunity.\r\n\r\nFuck that. Any advert in a public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It's yours to take, re-arrange and re-use. You can do whatever you like with it. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head.\r\n\r\nYou owe the companies nothing. Less than nothing, you especially don't owe them any courtesy. They owe you. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don't even start asking for theirs."

Inspiration is for amateurs; the rest of us just show up and get to work. If you wait around for the clouds to part and a bolt of lightning to strike you in the brain, you are not going to make an awful lot of work. All the best ideas come out of the process; they come out of the work itself. Things occur to you. If you're sitting around trying to dream up a great art idea, you can sit there a long time before anything happens. But if you just get to work, something will occur to you and something else will occur to you and somthing else that you reject will push you in another direction. Inspiration is absolutely unnecessary and somehow deceptive. You feel like you need this great idea before you can get down to work, and I find that's almost never the case."

"text": "Our ability to imagine a future, one that includes things that don't yet exist, is unique to our species. But the future is just a concept, a fantasy. While America has a long history of innovation, tens of thousands of projects (just check the U.S. patents and trademarks registries) contain unique ideas that are sometimes irrelevant or bizarre. Perhaps because our similarities far outweigh our differences, it's projects that delve into the areas we mutually care about that truly energize us. In that way, the quality of our collective future depends on the initiative of the few to innovate in ways that capture the imagination of the many. And so we evolve."

I'm not an entertainer; I'm a lot closer to a paramedic, a firefighter, a rescue worker. You're here to become a sort of therapist for the human soul, a spiritual version of a chiropractor, physical therapist, someone who works with our insides to see if they get things to line up, to see if we can come into harmony with ourselves and be healthy and happy and well.

Or that anodyne small talk with a neighbour is 'genuine social stimulation,' whereas chatting over Twitter with someone 6,000 miles away who loves Top Gun and Jefferson Airplane as much as you do is just lonely, dysfunctional nerds clashing in cyberspace. This, to my mind, is idiotic. It's time for us all to come out of the closet about our secret internet chums."

Except for pharmaceutical poison, there are essentially only two drugs that Western civilization tolerates: Caffeine from Monday to Friday to energize you enough to make you a productive member of society, and alcohol from Friday to Monday to keep you too stupid to figure out the prison that you are living in."

"text": "The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them - words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they're brought out. But it's more than that, isn't it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you've said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That's the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a teller, but for want of an understanding ear."

The safe, boring democracy will supply him with a defense lawyer as is his right. He will not get more than 21 years in prison as is the maximum extent of the law. Our democracy does not allow for enough punishment to satisfy my need for revenge, as is its intention. We will not become worse, we will be better. We lived in a land where this is possible, even easy. And we will keep living in a land where this is possible, even easy. We are open, we are free and we are together. We are vulnerable by choice. And we will keep on like that, that's how we want to live. We will not be worse because of the worst. We must be good because of the best."

I have my mission--I may never know it in this life, but I shall be told it in the next. I am a link in a chain, a bond of connection between persons. He has not created me for naught. I shall do good, I shall do His work; I shall be an angel of peace, a preacher of truth in my own place, while not intending it, if I do but keep His commandments and serve Him in my calling. Therefore, I will trust Him. Whatever, wherever I am. I can never be thrown away. If I am in sickness, my sickness may serve Him; in perplexity, my perplexity may serve Him. He does nothing in vain. He knows what He is about. He may take away my friends, He may throw me among strangers, He may make me feel desolate, make my spirits sink, hide my future from me--still He knows what He is about. \r\n--Prayer of John Henry Cardinal Newman\r\n\r\n"

"text": "Blowing through heaven and earth, and in our hearts and the heart of every living thing, is a gigantic breath -- a great Cry -- which we call God. Plant life wished to continue its motionless sleep next to stagnant waters, but the Cry leaped up within it and violently shook its roots: \"Away, let go of the earth, walk!\" Had the tree been able to think and judge, it would have cried, \"I don't want to. What are you urging me to do? You are demanding the impossible!\" But the Cry, without pity, kept shaking its roots and shouting, \"Away, let go of the earth, walk!\"\r\n\r\nIt shouted in this way for thousands of eons; and lo! as a result of desire and struggle, life escaped the motionless tree and was liberated.\r\n\r\nAnimals appear-worms-making themselves at home in water and mud. \"We're just fine here,\" they said. \"We have peace and security; we're not budging!\"\r\n\r\nBut the terrible Cry hammered itself pitilessly into their loins. \"Leave the mud, stand up, give birth to your betters!\"\r\n\r\n\"We don't want to! We can't!\"\r\n\r\n\"You can't, but I can. Stand up!\"\r\n\r\nAnd lo! after thousands of eons, humans emerged, trembling on their still unsolid legs.\r\n\r\nThe human being is a centaur; our equine hoofs are planted in the ground, but our body from breast to head is worked on and tormented by the merciless Cry. We have been fighting, again for thousands of eons, to draw ourselves, like a sword, out of our animalistic scabbard. We are also fighting--and this is our new struggle--to draw ourselves out of our human scabbard. Humanity calls in despair, \"Where can I go? I have reached the pinnacle, beyond is the abyss.\" And the Cry answers, \"I am beyond. Stand up!\" All things are centaurs. If this were not the case, the world would rot into inertness and sterility."

The third and fourth fingers remaining fixed, while the other two are carrying the pen to the end of a long word, the hand and the fingers are painfully cramped and strained. On finishing a word, moreover, the hand is jerked along, and the under fingers make to a new position. This they retain until the hand is gradually turned nearly or quite over, and the fingers that hold the pen, are again stretched as far in advance of the others as they can bear, when a new jerk is given to the hand, and so on till the writing is finished."

Only thus will the world be a place where human dignity is valued and respected, a place where men live in peace, in true peace, the peace which is so closely linked to God... Those we live and work with, those we come in contact with, should find us loyal, sincere, joyful and hard-working. We should behave as people who fulfill their duties honestly and live as children of God in the ups and downs of each day. The ordinary norms of courtesy (how we greet others, our cordiality and spirit of service), which for many are merely conventional and external, have to be in us the fruit of charity and an expression of real interest in someone else.

No sceptics work sceptically; no fatalists work fatalistically; all without exception work on the principle that it is possible to assume what it is not possible to believe. No materialist who thinks his mind was made up for him, by mud and blood and heredity, has any hesitation in making up his mind. No sceptic who believes that truth is subjective has any hesitation about treating it as objective."

"text": "The measure of Divine Providence in us depends on the degree of trust that we have in it. Do not anticipate the unpleasant events of this life by apprehension, rather anticipate them with the perfect hope that, as they happen, God, to Whom you belong, will protect you. He has protected you up to the present moment; just remain firmly in the hands of His providence and He will help you in all situations and at those times when you find yourself unable to walk, He will carry you. What should you fear since you belong to God Who has so strongly assured us that for those who love him all things turn into happiness? Do not think of what may happen, tomorrow, because the same eternal Father Who takes care of you today, will take care of you tomorrow and forever. Either He will see that nothing bad happens to you or, if He allows anything bad to happen to you, He will give you the invincible courage to bear it. Remain at peace. Remove from your imagination whatever may upset you and say frequently to our Lord, 'O God, You are my God and I will trust in you; You will help me and You will be my refuge and there is nothing I will fear, because not only are You with me, but, also, You are in me and I in You.' What does a child in the arms of such a Father have to fear? Be as a little child. As you know, children don't concern themselves with many matters; they have others who think for them. They are strong enough if they remain with their father. Therefore, act accordingly and you will be at peace."

"text": "To be entirely modern (which very few of us are) is to believe in nothing. This is not to say that it is to have no beliefs: the truly modern person may believe in almost anything, or even perhaps in everything, so long as all these beliefs rest securely upon a more fundamental and radical faith in the nothing--or, better, in nothingness as such. Modernity's highest ideal--its special understanding of personal autonomy--requires us to place our trust in an absence underlying all of reality, a fertile void in which all things are possible, from which arises no impediment to our wills, and before which we may consequently choose to make of ourselves what we choose. We trust, that is to say, that there is no substantial criterion by which to judge our choices that stands higher than the unquestioned good of free choice itself, and that therefore all judgment, divine no less than human, is in some sense an infringement upon our freedom. This is our primal ideology. In the most unadorned terms possible, the ethos of modernity is--to be perfectly precise--nihilism. . . A perfectly consistent ethics of choice would ultimately erase any meaningful distinction between good and evil, compassion and cruelty, love and hatred, reverence and transgression, and few of us could bear to inhabit the world on those terms."

People who believe in nothing beyond their own preferences and security cannot win against people who believe in specific ideas and accept risk as the price of establishing them. Pure secularism only stands a chance against a fanatical politicised religion if it morphs into a totalitarian state which dispenses with civil liberties. "

We do not need a State which regulates and controls everything, but a State which, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity, generously acknowledges and supports initiatives arising from the different social forces and combines spontaneity with closeness to those in need... In the end, the claim that just social structures would make works of charity superfluous masks a materialist conception of man: the mistaken notion that man can live \"by bread alone\" (Mt 4:4; cf. Dt 8:3)--a conviction that demeans man and ultimately disregards all that is specifically human."

There, the standards are established under threat of violence, and accepted out of a mix of self-preservation and self-loathing. This is what decadence looks like: a frantic coarseness that \"bravely\" trashes its own values and traditions, and then knuckles under swiftly to totalitarianism and brute force. Happily, today's would-be totalitarians are probably too marginal to take full advantage. This isn't Weimar Germany, and Islam's radical fringe is still a fringe, rather than an existential enemy. For that, we should be grateful. Because if a violent fringe is capable of inspiring so much cowardice and self-censorship, it suggests that there's enough rot in our institutions that a stronger foe might be able to bring them crashing down.

Well, the fact is, there are literally thousands of ideas involved in putting something together, and the notion of ideas as this singular thing is a fundamental flaw. There are so many ideas that what you need is that group behaving creatively.

They can feel that any amusement he gives (which is often considerable) really comes from him and from them, and from nobody else. He has been born without the intervention of any master or lord. He is a creation and a contribution; he is their own creative contribution to creation. He is also a much more beautiful, wonderful, amusing and astonishing thing than any of the stale stories or jingling jazz tunes turned out bv the machines. When men no longer feel that he is so, they have lost the appreciation of primary things, and therefore all sense of proportion about the world. People who prefer the mechanical pleasures, to such a miracle, are jaded and enslaved. They are preferring the very dregs of life to the first fountains of life. They are preferring the last, crooked, indirect, borrowed, repeated and exhausted things of our dying Capitalist civilisation, to the reality which is the only rejuvenation of all civilisation. It is they who are hugging the chains of their old slavery; it is the child who is ready for the new world."

Indeed it was so genuinely the converse of the idea of the Cross as the Tree of Life, that there is some excuse for setting up the two things side by side, as if they were of equal significance. They are in one sense parallel and equal; as a mound and a hollow, as a valley and a hill. There is a sense in which the sublime despair is the only alternative to that divine audacity. It is even true that the truly spiritual and intellectual man sees it as a sort of dilemma; a very hard and terrible choice. There is little else on earth that can compare with these for completeness. And he who will not climb the mountain of Christ does indeed fall into the abyss of Buddha."

It is when we see his (St. Thomas') gigantic figure against this vast and cosmic background, that we realize, first, that he was the only optimist theologian, and second, that Catholicism is the only optimist theology. Something milder and amiable may be made out . . . of the theology. . . . But among consistent cosmic creeds, this is the only one that is entirely on the side of life."

That \"GOD LOOKED ON ALL THINGS AND SAW THAT THEY WERE GOOD\" contains a subtlety which the popular pessimist cannot follow, or is too hasty to notice. It is the thesis that there are no bad things, but only bad uses of things. If you will, there are no bad things but only bad thoughts; and especially bad intentions. But It is possible to have bad intentions about good things; and good things, like the world and the flesh have been twisted by a bad intention called the Devil. But he cannot make good THINGS bad; they remain as on the first day of creation. The work of heaven alone was material; the making of a material world. The making of hell is entirely spiritual. "

"text": "Granted all the grandeur of Augustine's contribution to Christianity, there is a more subtle danger in Augustine the Platonist than even in Augustine the Manichee. There came from it a mood which unconsciously committed the heresy of dividing the substance of the Trinity. It thought of God too exclusively as a Spirit who purifies or a Savior who redeems; and too little as a Creator who creates. That is why Aquinas thought it right to correct Plato by an appeal to Aristotle; Aristotle who took things as he found them, just as Aquinas accepted things as he found them. In the world of St. Thomas the world of positive creation is perpetually present. Humanly speaking, it was he who saved the human element in Christian theology, if he used for convenience certain elements of heathen philosophy. Only, as has already been urged, the human element is also the Christian one. "

So when Hillary Clinton a few years ago wanted to build a Woodstock memorial, I said it should be a statue of a National Guardsman feeding a crying hippie."

"text": " To the Illuminati, and to those of science, let me say this. You have won the war. \r\n\r\n The wheels have been in motion for a long time. Your victory has been inevitable. Never before has it been as obvious as it is at this moment. Science is the new god. \r\n\r\n Medicine, electronic communications, space travel, genetic manipulation... these are the miracles about which we now tell our children. These are the miracles we herald as proof that science will bring us the answers. The ancient stories of immaculate conceptions, burning bushes, and parting seas are no longer relevant. God has become obsolete. Science has won the battle. We concede. \r\n\r\n But science's victory has cost every one of us. And it has cost us deeply. \r\n\r\n Science may have alleviated the miseries of disease and drudgery and provided an array of gadgetry for our entertainment and convenience, but is has left us in a world with out wonder. Our sunsets have been reduced to wavelengths and frequencies. The complexities of the universe have been shredded into mathematical equations. Even our self-worth as human beings has been destroyed. Science proclaims that Planet Earth and its inhabitants are a meaningless speck in the grand scheme. A cosmic accident. Even the technology that promises to unite us, divides us. Each of us is now electronically connected to the globe, and yet we feel utterly alone. We are bombarded with violence, division, fracture, and betrayal. Skepticism has become a virtue. Cynicism and demand for proof has become enlightened thought. Is it any wonder that humans now feel more depressed and defeated than they have at any point in human history? Does science hold anything sacred? Science looks for answers by probing our unborn fetuses. Science even presumes to rearrange our own DNA. It shatters God's world into smaller and smaller pieces in quest of meaning... and all it finds is more questions. \r\n\r\n The ancient war between science and religion as over. You have won. But you have not won fairly. You have not won by providing answers. You have won by so radically reorienting our society that the truths we once saw as signposts now seem inapplicable. Religion cannot keep up. Scientific growth is exponential. It feeds on itself like a virus. Every new breakthrough opens doors for new breakthroughs. Mankind took thousands of years to progress from the wheel to the car. Yet only decades from the car into space. Now we measure scientific progress in weeks. We are spinning out of control. The rift between us grows deeper and deeper, and as religion is left behind, people find themselves in a spiritual void. We cry out for meaning. And believe me, we do cry out. WE see UFOs, engage in channeling, spirit contact, out-of-body experiences, mindquests -- all these eccentric ideas have a scientific veneer, but they are unashamedly irrational. They are the desperate cry of the modern soul, lonely and tormented, crippled by its own enlightenment and its inability to accept meaning in anything removed from technology. \r\n\r\n Science, you say, will save us. Science, I say, has destroyed us. Since the days of Galileo, the church has tried to slow the relentless march of science, sometimes with misguided means, but always with benevolent intention. Even so, the temptations are too great for man to resist. I warn you, look around yourselves. The promises of science have not been kept. Promises of efficiency and simplicity have bred nothing but pollution and chaos. We are a fractured and frantic species... moving down a path of destruction. \r\n\r\n Who is this God science? Who is the God who offers his people power but no moral framework to tell you how to use that power? What kind of God gives a child fire but does not warn the child of its dangers? The language of science comes with no signposts about good and bad. Science textbooks tell us how to create a nuclear reaction, and yet they contain no chapter asking us if it is a good or a bad idea. \r\n\r\n To science, I say this. The church is tired. We are exhausted from trying to be you sign posts. Our resources are drying up from our campaign to be the voice of balance as you plow blindly on in your quest for smaller chips and larger profits. We ask not why you will not govern yourselves, but how can you? Your world moves so fast that if you stop even for an instant to consider the implications of your actions, someone more efficient will whip past you in a blur. So you move on. You proliferate weapons of mass destruction, but it is the Pope who travels the world beseeching leaders to use restraint. You clone living creatures, but it is the church reminding us to consider the moral implications of our actions. You encourage people to interact on phones, video screens, and computers, but it is the church who opens its doors and reminds us to commune in person as we were meant to do. You even murder unborn babies in the name of research that will save lives. Again, it is the church who points the fallacy of that reasoning. \r\n\r\n And all the while, you proclaim the church is ignorant. But who is more ignorant? The man who cannot define lightning, or the man who does not respect its awesome power? This church is reaching out to you. Reaching out to everyone. And yet the more we reach, the more you push us away. Show me proof there is a God, you say. I say use your telescopes to look to the heavens, and tell me how there could not be a God! You ask what does God look like. I say, where does that question come from? The answers are one and the same. Do you not see God in you science? How can you miss Him! You proclaim that even the slightest change in the force of gravity or the weight of an atom would have rendered our universe a lifeless mist rather than our magnificent sea of heavenly bodies, and yet you fail to see God's hand in this? Is it really so much easier to believe that we simply chose the right card from a deck of billions? Have we become so spiritually bankrupt that we would rather believe in mathematical impossibility than in a power greater than us? \r\n\r\n Whether or not you believe in God, you must believe this. When we as a species abandon our trust in the power greater than us, we abandon our sense of accountability. Faith... all faiths... are admonitions that there is something we cannot understand, something to which we are accountable... With faith we are accountable to each other, to ourselves, and to a higher truth. Religion is flawed, but only because man is flawed. If the outside world could see this church as I do... looking beyond the ritual of these walls... they would see a modern miracle... a brotherhood of imperfect, simple souls wanting only to be a voice of compassion in a world spinning out of control. \r\n\r\n Are we obsolete? Are these men dinosaurs? Am I? Does the world really need a voice for the poor, the weak, the oppressed, the unborn child? Do we really need souls like these who, though imperfect, spend their lives imploring each of us to read the signposts of morality and not lose our way? \r\n\r\n Tonight we are perched on a precipice. None of us can afford to be apathetic. Whether you see this evil as Satan, corruption, or immorality, the dark force is alive and growing every day. Do not ignore it. The force, though mighty, is not invincible. Goodness can prevail. Listen to your hearts. Listen to God. Together we can step back from this abyss. \r\n\r\n Pray with me. "

"text": "The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. Through violence you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth. Through violence you murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate. Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate. Only love can do that."

Were his feeling mainly outgoing, there would be little problem: If he felt nothing but grief at the damage he had caused to others, reconciliation with them would follow easily. He would have no hesitation in saying \"I am sorry.\" But because his feelings are usually complicated by inner remorse and self-rejection, reconciliation becomes difficult, sometimes even impossible, to achieve. The forgiveness which others would give him is blocked by his inability to forgive himself. Therefore the problem of guilt is nothing other than one facet of the problem of self-hatred. \r\n – Malcolm France, The Paradox of Guilt, PP. 19-20\r\n"

The individual seldom knows anything of this; to him, as an individual, it is incredible that he should ever in any circumstances go beyond himself. But let these harmless creatures form a mass, and there emerges a ragging monster; and each individual is only one tiny cell in the monster's body, so that for better or worse he must accompany it on its bloody rampages and even assist it to the utmost. Having a dark suspicion of these grim possibilities, man turns a blind eye to the shadow-side of human nature. Blindly he strives against the salutary dogma of original sin, which is yet so prodigiously true. Yes, he even hesitates to admit the conflict of which he is so painfully aware. \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t – C. G. Jung \t\t\t\t\t\t Two Essays on Analytical Psychology \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tVol. 7, Collected Works, p 30.\r\n"

"text": "In a world where education is predominantly verbal, highly educated people find it all but impossible to pay serious attention to anything but words and notions. There is always money for, there are always doctorates in, the learned foolery of research into what, for scholars, is the all-important problem: Who influenced whom to say what when? Even in this age of technology the verbal humanities are honored. The non-verbal humanities, the arts of being directly aware o the given facts of our existence, are almost completely ignored. A catalogue, a bibliography, a definitive edition of a third-rate versifier's ipsissima verba, a stupendous index to end all indexes-any genuinely Alexandrian project is sure of approval and financial support. But when it comes to finding out how you and I, our children and grandchildren, may become more perceptive, more intensely aware of inward and outward reality, more open to the Spirit, less apt, by psychological malpractices, to make ourselves physically ill, and more capable of controlling our out autonomic nervous system---when it comes to any form of non-verbal education more fundamental (and more likely to be of some practical use) than Swedish drill, no really respectable person in any really respectable university or church will do anything about it. Verbalists are suspicious of the non-verbal; rationalists fear the given, non-rational fact; intellectuals feel that \"what we perceive by the eye (or in any other way) is foreign to us as such and need not impress us deeply.\" Besides, this matter of education in the non-verbal humanities will not fit into any of the established pigeonholes. It is not religion, not neurology, not gymnastics, not morality or civics, not even experimental psychology. This being so the subject is, for academic and ecclesiastical purposes, non-existent and may safely be ignored altogether or left, with a patronizing smile, to those whom the Pharisees of verbal orthodoxy call cranks, quacks, charlatans and unqualified amateurs."

We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars, but we won't. We're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off. "

"text": "The object of a liberal training is not learning, but discipline and the enlightenment of the mind. The educated man is to be discovered by his point of view, by the temper of his mind, by hit attitude towards life and his fair way of thinking. He can see, he can discriminate, he can combine ideas and perceieve whither they lead; he has insight and comprehension. His mind is a pracised instrument of appreciation. He is more apt to contribute light than heat to a discussion, and will oftener than another show the power of uniting the elements of a difficult subject in a whole view; he has the knowledge of the world which no one can have who knows only his own generation or only his own task.\r\n\r\nWhat we should seek to impart in our colleges, therefore, is not so much learning itself as the spirit of learning. You can impart that to young men; and you can impart it to them in the three or four years at your disposal. It consists in the power to distinguish good reasoning from bad, in the power to digest and interpret evidence, in a habit of catholic observation and a preference for the non-partisan point of view, in an addiction to clear and logical prcesses of thought and yet and instinctive desire to interpret rather than to stick in the letter of the reasoning, in a taste for knowledge and a deep respect for the integrity of the human mind. It is citizenship of the world of knowledge, but not ownership of it."

They are those who give us generally to understand that every modern reform will \"work\" all right, because they will be there to see. Where they will be, and for how long, they do not explain very clearly. I do not mind their looking forward to numberless lives in succession; for that is the shadow of a human or divine hope. But even a theosophist does not expect to be a vast number of people at once. And these people most certainly propose to be responsible for a whole movement after it has left their hands. Each man promises to be about a thousand policemen. If you ask them how this or that will work, they will answer, \"Oh, I would certainly insist on this\"; or \"I would never go so far as that\"; as if they could return to this earth and do what no ghost has ever done quite successfully --- force men to forsake their sins. Of these it is enough to say that they do not understand the nature of a law any more than the nature of a dog. If you let loose a law, it will do as a dog does. It will obey its own nature, not yours. Such sense as you have put into the law (or the dog) will be fulfilled. But you will not be able to fulfill a fragment of anything you have forgotten to put into it."

Let me remind you that in your interior life you will suffer defeats, and you will have ups and downs--may God make them imperceptible--because no one is free from these misfortunes. But our all-powerful and merciful Lord has granted us the precise means with which to conquer ... All we have to do is to use them resolving to begin again and again at every moment, whenever necessary."

Its only form of progress is going quicker and quicker along one line in one direction. It has not the curiosity to stop, nor the adventurous courage to go backwards... Now, in spite of the wildest claims to independence, the intellectual life of today still strikes me as being mainly symbolized by the train or the track or the groove. There is any amount of fuss and vivacity about certain fixed fashions or directions of thought; just as there is any amount of rapidity along the fixed rails of the railway-track. But if we begin to think about really getting off the track, we shall find that what is true of the train is equally true of the truth. We shall find it is actually harder to get out of the groove, when the train is going fast, than when the train is going slowly. We shall find that rapidity is rigidity; that the very fact of some social or political or artistic movement going quicker and quicker means that fewer peopole have the courage to move against it. And at last perhaps nobody will make a leap for real intellectual liberty, just as nobody will jump out of a railway-train at eighty miles an hour. This seems to me the primary mark of what we call progressive thought in the modern world. "

While views differ on the timing of the recovery, no one questioned that a recovery is possible. This is largely because the current crisis is based on financial problems, the most superficial aspect of the economy.\r\n\r\nHow different it might be or will be (depending on what we do now) when we have a crisis based on the most foundational aspect of the economy, the ecosystem. When productivity falls not because of lack of credit or consumer confidence but because of reaching the earth limits of natural resources and ecosystem services, including climate stability, the question will not be when will the economy recover. We will be adjusting to a new reality.\r\n\r\nWe are wise to direct our resources to get out of the current crisis to prevent the next crisis, which could be more profound and far longer, if not eternal.\r\n\r\nMaggie Winslow\r\nEl Cerrito, Calif., March 2, 2009\r\n\r\nThe writer is a professor of economics at the Presidio School of Management."

Shakespeare has spoken of the rise and fall of great ones, that ebb and flow with the moon. I look back on my own fellow countryman in England, once upon a time dominating a quarter of the world. Most of them convinced in the words of what is still a popular song, that the god who made them mighty shall make them mightier yet. I've heard of a craze-cracked Austrian announce to the world the establishment of a Reich that would last a thousand years. I've seen an Italian clown saying he was going to stop and restart the calendar with his own ascension to power. I've heard of a murderous Georgian in the Kremlin acclaimed by the intellectual elite of the world as a wiser than Soloman, more humane than Marcus Aurelius, more enlightened than (any wise man). I have seen America wealthier, and in terms of military weapons, more powerful than the rest of the world put together. So had the American people so desired, they could have out done a Caesar or an Alexander in the range and scale of their conquest. All in one life time - all in one life time - all gone - gone with the wind. England, part of a tiny island of the coast of Europe, threatened with dismemberment and even bankruptcy. Hitler and Mussolini dead, remembered only in infamy. Stalin a forbidden name in the regime he help found and dominate for some three decades. All in one life time, all gone with the wind. Behind the debris of our self-styled-soloman supermen, there stands the gigantic figure of one person, because of whom, by whom, in whom and through whom alone, mankind may still have hope - - the person of Jesus Christ. (And I present him to you as the veritas, the Truth - - and it does matter because the truth does.)\r\n\r\nQuoting: British Journalist, Malcom Muggeridge (1903 to 1990)\r\n"

There may be wounds and bruises and putrefying sores, from the crown of the head to the soles of the feet: but we cannot dismember and hack to pieces the Body of Christ.' This has been done in the last five hundred years. We have no warrant to set ourselves over against this ancient Church. There may be among us wolves in sheep's clothing, even; yet the answer to that is not to leave the Fold, but to cleanse and protect and restore it. God bless the earnestness and fidelity and zeal with which many have striven for righteousness and truth and purity in the Church. But insofar as their striving has separated them from that old Church, then the measures have been too draconian. To pray with the Lord in his prayer recorded in John 17 may be to do more than voice a petition. It may, in this latter day, mean a difficult obedience.\r\n"

"text": "Contrary to what might be expected, I look back on experience(s) that at the time seemed especially desolating and painful. I now look upon them with particular satisfaction. Indeed I can say with complete truthfulness that everything I have learned in my 75 years in this world, everything that has truly enhanced and enlightened my existence has been through affliction and not through happiness, whether pursued or attained. In other words I say this: If it were to be possible to eliminate affliction from our earthly existence by means of some drug or other medical mumbo-jumbo, the result would be not to make life delectable but to make it too banal and trivial to be endurable. This of course is what the Cross signifies - and it is the Cross more than anything else that has called me inexorably to Christ.\r\n\r\nQuoting: British journalist, Malcom Muggeridge (1903 to 1990)"

Unless there is some objective standard of good, over-arching Germans, Japanese and ourselves alike whether any of us obey it or no, then of course the Germans are as competent to create their ideology as we are to create ours. . . The very idea of freedom presupposes some objective moral law which overarches rulers and ruled alike. Subjectivism about values is eternally incompatible with democracy. "

We are fond of talking about \"liberty;\" that, as we talk of it, is a dodge to avoid discussing what is good. We are fond of talking about \"progress:' that is a dodge to avoid discussing what is good. We are fond of talking about \"education;\" that is a dodge to avoid discussing what is good. The modern man says, \"Let us leave all these arbitrary standards and embrace liberty.\" That is, logically rendered, \"Let us not decide what is good, but let it be considered good not to decide it.\" He says, \"Away with your old moral formulae; I am for progress.\" This, logically stated, means, \"Let us not settle what is good; but let us settle whether we are getting more of it.\" He says, \"Neither in religion nor morality, my friend, lie the hopes of the race, but in education.\" This, clearly expressed means, \"We cannot decide what is good, but let us give it to our children.\" "

"text": "Even if, theoretically, a pro-choice candidate's agenda were to reduce the incidence of abortion, it would be gains built on sand as long as the law continues to call evil good and good evil. It is the first and most fundamental responsibility of civil society to safeguard the right to life of every member of the community. The law must recognize this first and most fundamental duty before it can begin to fulfill it. In our society today, the juridical fiat, functioning as law, that the right to end innocent human life is guaranteed in our nation's foundational legal document subverts the whole basis of civil law and jurisprudence more critically than any other injustice we face... In American rule of law as we know it today, the fiction of the \"right to choose\" is the knife in the heart of justice. Or the scissors in the back of the skull."

A society lacks solid foundations when, on the one hand, it asserts values such as the dignity of the person, justice and peace, but then, on the other hand, radically acts to the contrary by allowing or tolerating a variety of ways in which human life is devalued and violated, especially where it is weak or marginalized. Only respect for life can be the foundation and guarantee of the most precious and essential goods of society, such as democracy and peace."

It is a caricature of freedom to claim that people are free to organize their lives with no reference to moral values, and to say that society does not have to ensure the protection and advancement of ethical values. Such an attitude is destructive of freedom and peace. There are many examples of this mistaken idea of freedom, such as the elimination of human life by legalized or generally accepted abortion."

In the intoxication of youthful successes I had felt myself to be infallible, and I was therefore cruel. In the surfeit of power I was a murderer and an oppressor. In my most evil moments I was convinced that I was doing good, and I was well supplied with systematic arguments. It was only when I lay there on rotting prison straw that I sensed within myself the first stirrings of good. Gradually it was disclosed to me that the line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either--but right through every human heart--and through all human hearts.... That is why I turn back to the years of my imprisonment and say, sometimes to the astonishment of those about me: \"Bless you, prison!\" I...have served enough time there. I nourished my soul there, and I say without hesitation: \"Bless you, prison, for having been in my life!\" "

Kierkegaard claims that through the passion of faith it is possible to achieve a 'happy relationship' between human reason and paradox; but the rational mind has an imperialistic quality to it that resists any recognition or acknowledgment of its own limits. \r\n\r\nIt is for this reason that the rational mind finds the paradox of faith so offensive - faith threatens its position of 'absolute power' because at the same time that it rejects faith outright, there exists in the mind a shred of doubt. If this doubt is justified, then the rational mind can no longer lay claim to its supremacy, for something incomprehensible and far more powerful transcends it. What is interesting is that offense, like faith - is not rational."

Without risk, no faith. Faith is the contradiction between the infinite passion of inwardness and the objective uncertainty. If I am able to apprehend God objectively, I do not have faith; but because I cannot do this, I must have faith. If I want to keep myself in faith, I must continually see to it that I hold fast the objective uncertainty, see to it that in the objective uncertainty I am 'out on 70,000 fathoms of water' and still have faith."

"text": "The marriage of reason and nightmare that has dominated the 20th century has given birth to an ever more ambiguous world. Across the communications landscape move the spectres of sinister technologies and the dreams that money can buy. Thermo-nuclear weapons systems and soft drink commercials coexist in an overlit realm ruled by advertising and pseudo-events, science and pornography.\r\n\r\nOver our lives preside the great twin leitmotifs of the 20th century - sex and paranoia. Increasingly, our concepts of past, present and future are being forced to revise themselves. Just as the past, in social and psychological terms, became a casualty of Hiroshima and the nuclear age, so in its turn the future is ceasing to exist, devoured by the all-voracious present.\r\n\r\nWe have annexed the future into the present, as merely one of those manifold alternatives open to us. Options multiply around us, and we live in an almost infantile world where any demand, any possibility, whether for life-styles, travel, sexual roles and identities, can be satisfied instantly.\r\n\r\nThe balance between fiction and reality has changed significantly in the past decades. Increasingly their roles are reversed. We live in a world ruled by fictions of every kind - mass-merchandizing, advertising, politics conducted as a branch of advertising, the pre-empting of any response to experience by the television screen.\r\n\r\nIn the past we have always assumed that the external world around us has represented reality, however confusing or uncertain, and that the inner world of our minds, its dreams, hopes, ambitions, represented the realm of fantasy and the imagination.\r\n\r\nThese roles, it seems, have been reversed. The most prudent and effective method of dealing with the world around us is to assume that it is a complete fiction - conversely, the one small node of reality left to us is inside our own heads.\r\n"

Shout, embrace, swing, be up at dawn; carry sugar to ponies; kiss and caress the snouts of adorable chows; and then all tingling and streaming, plunge and swim. But the enormous resources of the English language, the power it bestows, after all, of communicating feelings, was not for them."

Some encounter with necessity is the ground of taking one's life seriously. It's the ground of being sensitive to all of the really beautiful things in the world. It's the ground of being open to the call of something higher in which we have a chance to participate, whether it be perpetuation of our young, whether it be the future of our country, whether it be the arts or philosophy or music. And it's the ground, really, of transforming what is otherwise a mere necessity into an occasion of something really splendidly human."

We must keep our head in the one and our hands in the other. The conditions are met, if we keep our independence, yet do not lose our sympathy. These wonderful horses need to be driven by fine hands. We require such a solitude as shall hold us to its revelations when we are in the street and in palaces..."

The thinker inhabits fictions of purity, of reasoned propositions as sharp as white light. Marriage is about roughage, bills, garbage disposal, and noise. There is something vulgar, almost absurd, in the notion of a Mrs. Plato or a Mme. Descartes, or of Wittgenstein on a honeymoon."

Already God sees us in glory, He rejoices in our eternal happiness. How this thought sustains my soul! I understand then why he lets me suffer (quoting St. Therese). "

That's the real practical use of self-education and self-culture. It converts a world which is only a good world for those who can win at its ruthless game into a world good for all of us. Your education is the only thing that nothing can take from you in this life."

The periodic table contains about a hundred different types of atoms, which means that the number of combinations made up of four different\r\nelements is about 100 × 99 × 98 × 97 = 94,000,000. A list of numbers like 6, 2, 1,\r\n7 can represent the proportions for using the four elements in a recipe. To keep\r\nthings simple, assume that the numbers in the list must lie between 1 and 10, that\r\nno fractions are allowed, and that the smallest number must always be 1. Then there are about 3,500 different sets of proportions for each choice of four elements, and 3,500 × 94,000,000 (or 330 billion) different recipes in total."

"text": "God did not let us wonder and wander in the darkness about the most important truths we had to know in order to fulfill our most important task in life, union with him. No human lover would allow that if he could help it. Neither did God. Papal infallibility, like every other Catholic dogma, is properly understood only by the primacy of love. Infallibility is God's loving gift in response to our need to persevere in the unity of love and truth--which is what God wants above all because that is what he is: love (1 Jn 4:18) and truth (Jn 6:14). Without infallibility, uncertainties and schisms are inevitable among us fallen and foolish humans for whom Christ designed his Church. The gift of infallibility flows from God's character. He is so generous that he does not hold back anything that we need. He is not a stingy God! The creation of the world, the Incarnation and death of Christ, the gift of the Holy Spirit, the Eucharist, and heaven are six spectacular examples of God's unpredictable and amazing generosity. The gift of infallibility to the Church fits this same pattern. "

"text": "Although there is a natural desire for sexual mating, there are also natural desires for conjugal love, parental care, familial bonding, and enduring friendship. Mr. Hefner might satisfy his desire for promiscuous mating, but his pleasure will be shallow and momentary. Marriage and family life promote our fullest happiness over a whole life. And that's why the image of an 80-year-old Hefner surrounded by his bunnies evokes both disgust and pity among mature people. We know that such a life is deeply unsatisfying in its shallowness and thus bad because it's undesirable for any sensible human being."

[He too] remains threatened by the question of whether belief is not after all the reality it claims to be. . . . Anyone who makes up his mind to evade the uncertainty of belief will have to experience the uncertainty of unbelief, which can never finally eliminate for certain the possibility that belief may after all be the truth. It is not until belief is rejected that its unrejectability becomes evident."

"text": "We will be at \"peace,\" as it is called, if we tolerate everyone who disagrees with us, provided he returns the compliment. If there are those unwilling to do so, we think we can \"defend\" ourselves against them in order that we can discuss or dialogue about the differences. This is a noble effort. But what we cannot do is to fail to come to terms with ideas that claim to be true and seek to expand themselves into the world by means other than ideas. The solution to the problem is not to say that all ideas are fanatical or wrong. The solution is to take ideas seriously enough to state them properly and to have a philosophy that itself is sufficiently realistic to comprehend why error is attractive--again, almost always because it has some truth to it. The idea that there is no truth is itself an origin of war, an idea that denies that it too is an idea."

We ask ourselves, \"Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?\" Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about thinking so that other people wont' feel insecure around you. We were born to manifest the glory of God that is within us . . . And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. (Nelson Mandela)."

Maybe I don't even want to be in the play.\" A month later I was killed. I wonder sometimes if someone was listening."

My idea of God is not a divine idea. It has to be shattered time after time. He shatters it Himself. Could we not almost say that this shattering is one of the marks of His presence? The Incarnation is the supreme example; it leaves all previous ideas of the Messiah in ruins. Not my idea of God, but God. Yes, and also not my idea of my neighbor but my neighbor. For don't we often make this mistake as regards people who are still alive--who are with us in the same room - talking and acting not to the man himself but to the picture-almost the précis (thumbnail sketch)-we've made of him in our own minds?"

I mean there's Czech and Slovakia, and the big Jewish cemetery, and the opera house... maybe that's Vienna where the opera house is, but that's nearby, and given the opportunity, I'd hit Vienna, too. Hell, I'd do all of Europe, given the chance. I can imagine Jane and some Praguean idiot dancing the night away... horrible image. And the coffee, see, all I know is American coffee, and the beer, and whatever is good over there. It's gotta all be better over there. Nothing I eat has any taste. It's been such a strange time. And what if I was there now, how would things be different? Isn't there a big bridge with statues on it? I seem to remember that from a history class. And Jane and some guy kissing on the bridge in public. No, it's Jane and some Czech writer. Image kills me... Just great. This is so frustrating. I'm terrible at conflict. I hate it. And if I'd imagined this problem while falling asleep one night I don't think I would have spoken up to you. Even in my fantasy life, I just would've accepted it. That's who I am. But today, I have to go. I have to. And when I tell people about this in the future, I know that, you know, it'll be the time that I went. And I know when I review this whole episode in my head I'm not gonna know what I did or why I did it. I think they've done something with the real Grover. But it'll make a good story of my young adult life. You know, the time I chose to go to Prague. I'll look back on it and I won't believe that I actually went, you know. I went away. So let me go. I have to, I need - just put me on the plane. Let me go. "

I have not come to torment your natural self, but to kill it. No half-measures are any good. I don't want to cut off a branch here and a branch there, I want to have the whole tree down. Hand over the whole natural self, all the desire which you think innocent as well as the ones you think wicked -- the whole outfit. I will give you a new self instead. In fact, I will give you Myself; my own will shall become yours.\" C.S. Lewis"

We are never safe but we have plenty of fun and some ecstasy. It is not hard to see why. The security we crave would teach us to rest our hearts in this world and oppose an obstacle to our return to God: a few moments of happy love, a landscape, a symphony, a merry meeting with our friends, a bath, or a football match have no such tendency. Our Father refreshes us on the journey with some pleasant inns, but will not encourage us to mistake them for home."

From a scientific point of view, it is nothing but vibrations in the air, impinging on the eardrums and stimulating neural currents in the brain. How does it come about that this banal sequence of temporal activity has the power to speak to our hearts of an eternal beauty? The whole range of subjective experience, from perceiving a patch of pink, to being enthralled by a performance of the Mass in B Minor, and on to the mystic's encounter with the ineffable reality of the One, all these truly human experiences are at the center of our encounter with reality, and they are not to be dismissed as epiphenomenal froth on the surface of a universe whose true nature is impersonal and lifeless.

The other observations...that point to a Creator--the fact that the universe had a beginning, that it obeys orderly laws that can be expressed precisely with mathematics, and the existence of a remarkable series of \"coincidences\" that allow the laws of nature to support life--do not tell us much about what kind of God must be behind it all, but they do point toward an intelligent mind that could lie behind such precise and elegant principles.

In my view DNA sequence alone, even if accompanied by a vast trove of data on biological function, will never explain certain special human attributes, such as the knowledge of the Moral Law and the universal search for God. Freeing God from the burden of special acts of creation does not remove Him as the source of the things than make humanity special, and of the universe itself. It merely shows us something of how He operates. "

Whereas before we were like giants in view of the whole, we now see ourselves as dwarfs in the face of separate sections."

"text": "Evolution is a good example of that modern intelligence which, if it destroys anything, destroys itself. Evolution is either an innocent scientific description of how certain earthly things came about; or, if it is anything more than this, it is an attack upon thought itself. If evolution destroys anything, it does not destroy religion but rationalism. If evolution simply means that a positive thing called an ape turned very slowly into a positive thing called a man, then it is stingless for the most orthodox; for a personal God might just as well do things slowly as quickly, especially if, like the Christian God, he were outside time. But if it means anything more, it means that there is no such thing as an ape to change, and no such thing as a man for him to change into. It means that there is no such thing as a thing. At best, there is only one thing, and that is a flux of everything and anything. This is an attack not upon the faith, but upon the mind; you cannot think if there are no things to think about. You cannot think if you are not separate from the subject of thought."

"text": "My best friends are all either bottomless sceptics or quite uncontrollable believers, so our discussion at luncheon turned upon the most ultimate and terrible ideas. And the whole argument worked out ultimately to this: that the question is whether a man can be certain of anything at all. I think he can be certain, for if (as I said to my friend, furiously brandishing an empty bottle) it is impossible intellectually to entertain certainty, what is this certainty which it is impossible to entertain? If I have never experienced such a thing as certainty I cannot even say that a thing is not certain. Similarly, if I have never experienced such a thing as green I cannot even say that my nose is not green. It may be as green as possible for all I know if I have really no experience of greenness. So we shouted at each other and shook the room; because metaphysics is the only thoroughly emotional thing. And the difference between us was very deep, because it was a difference as to the object of the whole thing called broad-mindedness or the opening of the intellect. For my friend said that he opened his intellect as the sun opens the fans of a palm tree, opening for opening's sake, opening infinitely for ever. But I said that I opened my intellect as I opened my mouth, in order to shut it again on something solid."

A walking combination of water and chemicals has no rights arising from its nature, and it is no use advocating materialism on one platform and demanding respect and freedom on another. . . . It is man's immortal soul that is his passport not only to existence in the next world, but to freedom in this. His individual destiny is the basis of his rights against theories backed by physical force, whether they are the theories of dialectical materialism, or of Germanic racialism. If the world belongs not to man but to God, the powers of rulers are subject to a law higher than their wills, but if the world is man's world, as progressives like to describe it, its character will be determined by the wills of the most determined and cunning men."

It made him think and feel things he did not want to think and feel. Then, when the sun rose and he saw that the singer was a lion (\"only a lion,\" as he said to himself) he tried his hardest to make believe that it wasn't singing and never had been singing--only roaring as any lion might in a zoo in our own world. \"Of course it can't really have been singing,\" he thought, \"I must have imagined it. I've been letting my nerves get out of order. Who ever heard of a lion singing?\" And the longer and more beautiful the Lion sang, the harder Uncle Andrew tried to make himself believe that he could hear nothing but roaring. Now the trouble about trying to make yourself stupider than you really are is that you very often succeed. Uncle Andrew did. He soon did hear nothing but roaring in Aslan's song. Soon he couldn't have heard anything else even if he had wanted to."

They act as if reason is connected to reality, at least for pragmatic purposes. They act as if, in a rough sort of way, things make sense. They act as if progress is the law of history. They act as if reason, justice, truth, compassion, solidarity, and love were more than mere breath expelled by lying lips.

They may say, \"Different strokes for different folks,\" and \"What is good for you is good for you and not for me; don't impose your morality on me,\" but they always have one absolute left: If you sincerely believe that it is wrong for you to do something, you shouldn't do it. It might be alright to sin against society, against religion, against traditional morality, against the Ten Commandments, but it's never right to sin against your own conscience.

"text": "Here is a pure relativity of morals, which is a polite way of saying there are no standards at all. Dimly aware that he has taken up a very shaky position, Cox justifies himself by a bizarre manner of reasoning: \"the relativization of values can have a much more constructive result, the recognition that since everyone's perspective is limited or conditioned, no on has the right to inflict his values on anyone else\" (nor has anyone the right to question them). This thought might help a man who came last in a race at the Olympic Games, for he could console himself with the fancy that the winner was only relatively more successful. It would be less useful in a game of cards. When it comes to ethics, however, if there by any logic in his remark, the Nuremberg Trials were wrong for imposing our ideas of morality on the Nazis who were held for trial. The English missionaries to Fiji ought to have turned their eyes away when they came across cannibalism in 1835; nor should suttee have been suppressed by law in India. If once we accepted Cox's justification in matters of truth and falsehood, any lie or any untruth would be excusable. Oddly enough in the very sentence which I have quoted Cox lays down an absolute, saying \"no one has the right...\"\r\n"

Our ideas of the good may change, but they cannot change either for the better or the worse if there is no absolute and immutable good to which they can approximate or from which they can recede."

I agree with outlaw radio staw Travis Hipp that the paranoia and depression result inevitably from the ignorance. These kids not only don't know anything; they don't even want to know. They only realize, vaguely, that somebody has screwed them out of something, but they don't have enough zest or bile to try to find out who screwed them and what they were screwed out of."

"text": "Society dissolves as people discover their individuality. The trick is to create a society that honors both the community and the individual without placing one at a disadvantage to the other. America comes close, doing it through mere anarchy, which is how it should be done, to ride as close to the cusp of totally flying to pieces as you can. I love America. The fact that it tolerates me, doesn't bug me, indicates that it's a great, great system."

"text": "When you're writing a novel you're working at the most extreme limit of your capabilities. What you're doing is beyond logic, so far out at the limits of what you can do that there's no hope of your having a short and manageable simulation of the process by which to figure out what you're doing, it's computationally irreducible. When you get into this zone, out on the very surface of your brain, you become sensitive to the tiniest chaotic emanations of the world outside. At times it feels as if the world, feeling your sensitivity, gladly dances back. Dosie-do. Keep your eyes peeled."

The whole structure of how we learn about science has been warped and is getting more warped by the testing requirements that are put in place now because science is being taught as a set of facts instead of being portrayed as a process or a trajectory, and the trajectory is what really matters. Knowledge is plastic and is always evolving, and ideas mature and take on different shapes. The only way that you are going to distinguish between an immature idea and a mature idea is if you have a better understanding of how science works. So that is why I focused that book on young people. Kids are the only chunk of society left that is open to new ways of thinking. The more I learned over the years, the more rigid and entrenched people get the older they are, in terms of the way they feel the world works."

"text": "It seemed to me the basic definition of mental illness, this persistent, painful inability to simply be with someone else. It might be lifelong, or it might descend like a sudden catastrophe, this blankness between ourselves and the rest of the world. The blankness might not even be obvious to others. But on our side of that severed connection, it was hell, a life lived behind glass. The only difference between mild depression and severe schizophrenia was the amount of sound and air that seeped in."

"text": "My world falls apart, crumbles, \"The center cannot hold.\" There is no integrating force, only the naked fear, the urge of self-preservation. I am afraid. I am not solid, but hollow. I feel behind my eyes a numb, paralyzed cavern, a pit of hell, a mimicking nothingness. I never thought. I never wrote, I never suffered. I want to kill myself, to escape from responsibility, to crawl back abjectly into the womb. I do not know who I am, where I am going -- and I am the one who has to decide the answers to these hideous questions. I long for a noble escape from freedom -- I am weak, tired, in revolt from the strong constructive humanitarian faith which presupposes a healthy, active intellect and will. There is nowhere to go."

They still believe in God, the family, angels, devils, witches, goblins, logic, clarity, punctuation, and other such obsolete stuff.... When a book is boring, they yawn openly. They don't expect their writer to redeem humanity, but leave to adults such childish illusions."

They can highlight and frame things when we need perspective, and they're excellent handles when we need to grip a slippery notion. As social beasts, we trade words with others, negotiate meanings, use words as currency. Words for the backbone of what we think."

I eschew languages like C because they often waste enormous amounts of my time trying to develop and debug programs, and justify it on the basis of micro-differences in speed that have just never ended up mattering to me. I regard C as appropriate for use as an assembly language, but it doesn't provide enough high-level services for me. When I'm old and grey and look back on my life, I want to have done a lot of interesting things, not just have done a few interesting things but \"boy were they fast\"."

I've had some good cakey creations in my time here, but even the most spectacular rum-doused pineapple upside down cake or flourless chocolate creation feels at times an uphill battle with the fact that cake, deep down inside, wishes to remain dry. Cookies, on the other hand, desire balance - crisp exteriors, supple interiors, and each and every one of their ingredients gets to make a stand-up, rah-rah appearance in the final flavor. Plus, they keep for almost a week."

"text": "If you don't wanna run out of ideas the best thing to do is not to execute them. You can tell yourself that you don't have the time or resources to do 'em right. Then they stay around in your head like brain crack. No matter how bad things get, at least you have those good ideas that you'll get to later.\r\n\r\nSome people get addicted to that brain crack. And the longer they wait, the more they convince themselves of how perfectly that idea should be executed. And they imagine it on a beautiful platter with glitter and rose petals. And everyone's clapping for them. But the bummer is most ideas kinda suck when you do 'em. And no matter how much you plan you still have to do something for the first time. And you're almost guaranteed the first time you do something it'll blow. But somebody who does something bad three times still has three times the experience of that other person who's still dreaming of all the applause."

"text": "These projects intimate the emergence of a new stage in the evolution of cities. Preindustrial cities were mostly skeleton and skin--inert material arranged to provide shelter, security, and intensification of land use. In the industrial era, buildings and neighborhoods acquired more and more elaborate flow systems for water and energy supplies, sewage, ventilation, transportation, and trash removal. With their inputs, outputs, and artificial physiologies, they began to resemble living organisms. Today these organisms are developing artificial nervous systems that enable them to behave in intelligently coordinated ways. As the cities and their components become smarter, they begin to take new shapes and patterns. They become programmable. And the design of their software becomes as crucial--socially, economically, and culturally --as that of their hardware. "

You are unique. In all the world there is no other child exactly like you. In the millions of years that have passed there has never been a child like you. And look at your body--what a wonder it is! Your legs, your arms, your cunning fingers, the way you move! You may be a Shakespeare, a Michelangelo, a Beethoven. You have the capacity for anything. Yes, you are a marvel."

"text": "I can believe things that are true and I can believe things that aren't true and I can believe things where nobody knows if they're true or not. I can believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny and Marilyn Monroe and the Beatles and Elvis and Mister Ed. Listen-I believe that people are perfectible, that knowledge is infinite, that the world is run by secret banking cartels and is regularly visited by aliens on a regular basis, nice ones who look like wrinkedly lemurs and bad ones who mutilate our cattle and want out water and our women. I believe the future sucks and I believe the future rocks and I believe that one day White Buffalo Woman is going to come back and kick everyone's ass. I believe that all men are just overgrown boys with deep problems communicating and that the decline of good sex in America is coincidant with the decline in drive-in movie theatres from state-to-state. I believe that all politicians are unprincipled crooks and I still believe they are better then the alternative. I believe that California is going to sink into the sea when the big one comes, while Florida is going to dissolve into madness and alligators and toxic waste. I believe that antibacterial soap is destroying our resistance to germs so that one day we'll all be wiped out by the common cold like the martians in War of the Worlds. I believe that the best poets of the last century were Edith Sitwell and Don Marquis, that jade is dried dragon sperm, and thousands of years ago in a former life I was a one-armed siberian shaman. I believe that man's destiny lies in the stars. I believe that candy really DID taste better when I was a kid, that its aerodynamically impossible for a bumblebee to fly, that light is a wave and a particle, and that there's a cat in a box somewhere who's alive and dead at the same time(Although if they don't ever open the box it'll just be two different types of dead), and that there are stars in the universe billions of years older then the universe itself. I believe in a personal god who cares about me and worries and oversees everything I do. I believe in an impersonal god who set the universe in motion and went off to hang with her girlfriends and doesn't even know I'm alive. I believe in an empty and godless universe of casual chaos, background noise, and sheer blind luck. I believe that anyone who says sex is overrated just hasn't done it properly. I believe that anyone who claims to know what's going on will lie about the little things too. I believe in absolute honesty and sensible social lies. I believe in a woman's right to choose, a baby's right to live, and while all life is sacred there's nothing wrong with the death penalty if you can trust the legal system implicitly, and that no one but a moron would ever trust the legal system. I believe that life is a game, that life is cruel joke, and that life is what happens when you're alive and that you may as well lie back and enjoy it."

Pupils dilate, arteries constrict, core temperature rises, heart races, blood pressure skyrockets, respiration becomes rapid and shallow, the brain fires bursts of electrical impulses from nowhere to nowhere, and secretions spit out of every gland, and the muscles tense and spasm like you're lifting three times your body weight. It's violent. It's ugly. And it's messy. And if God hadn't made it UNBELIEVABLY fun, the human race would have died out eons ago."

But I own that I cannot see as plainly as others do, and as I should wish to do, evidence of design and beneficence on all sides of us. There seems to me too much misery in the world.\r\n\r\nI cannot persuade myself that a beneficent and omnipotent God would have designedly created the Ichneumonidae wasp with the express intention of their [larva] feeding within the living bodies of Caterpillars, or that a cat should play with mice. Not believing this, I see no necessity in the belief that the eye was expressly designed. On the other, I cannot anyhow be contented to view this wonderful universe, and especially the nature of man, and to conclude that everything is the result of brute force. I am inclined to look at everything as resulting from designed laws, with the details, whether good or bad, left to the working out of what we may call chance.\r\n\r\nNot that this notion at all satisfies me. I feel most deeply that the whole subject is too profound for the human intellect. A dog might as well speculate on the mind of Newton. Let each man hope and believe what he can..."

"text": "Romance is process by which selfish individuals attempt to act selflessly to get what they want. Be it physical in nature (romance between two individuals), or an attempt to gain actualisation or knowledge (romantic ideas of the world). It is an ideal born of myths and legends that all people in our culture seem to aspire to - we watch movies and read books where romantic heroes do romantic things and get romantic results. Those results end up being perfect, being whole and complete. Which is quite telling about what we, the ones who watch those romantic things, truly want.\r\n\r\nAnd what do each of us truly want? Well, most people will tell you that \"everyone is different\", and then promptly list menial and material items or actions that will bring them some level of joy or satisfaction. But, really, what all people want is to just be closer to god. Which is to say, all people really want is to be perfect, and, that perfection can be at least partially attained through the romantic struggle.\r\n\r\nRomance is not gifts. Romance is not one action. Romance is the struggle towards perfection."

You feel you are in the presence of many souls, generations upon generations of them, and you sense their collected energy as if they were all congregated or clustered in that one spot. And even though you might be with a group of people, or the cathedral itself filled with other churchgoers or tourists, you feel very much alone with your thoughts and you find them focused in a most extraordinary and spiritual way."

"text": "I love you. And not in a friendly way, although I think we're great friends. And not in a misplaced affection, puppy-dog way, although I'm sure that's what you'll call it. And it's not because you're unattainable. I love you. Very simple, very truly. You're the epitome of every attribute and quality I've ever looked for in another person. I know you think of me as just a friend, and crossing that line is the furthest thing from an option you'd ever consider. But I had to say it. I can't take this anymore. I can't stand next to you without wanting to hold you. I can't look into your eyes without feeling that longing you only read about in trashy romance novels. I can't talk to you without wanting to express my love for everything you are. I know this will probably queer our friendship -no pun intended- but I had to say it, because I've never felt this before, and I like who I am because of it. And if bringing it to light means we can't hang out anymore, then that hurts me. But I couldn't allow another day to go by without getting it out there, regardless of the outcome, which by the look on your face is to be the inevitable shoot-down. And I'll accept that. But I know some part of you is hesitating for a moment, and if there is a moment of hesitation, that means you feel something too. All I ask is that you not dismiss that -at least for ten seconds- and try to dwell in it. Alyssa, there isn't another soul on this fucking planet who's ever made me half the person I am when I'm with you, and I would risk this friendship for the chance to take it to the next plateau. Because it's there between you and me. you can't deny that. And even if we never speak again after tonight, please know that I'm forever changed because of who you are and what you've meant to me, which -while I do appreciate it- I'd never need a painting of birds bought at a diner to remind me of."

I know very few things I'd take seriously any more. I'd certainly be less hygenic... I would take more chances, I would take more trips, I would scale more mountains, I would swim more rivers, and I would watch more sunsets. I would eat more ice cream and fewer beans. I would have more actual troubles and fewer imaginary ones. Oh, I've had my moments, and if I had to do it all over again, I'd have many more of them, in fact I'd try not to have anything else, just moments, one after another, instead of living so many years ahead of my day. If I had it to do all over again, I'd travel lighter, much lighter than I have. I would start barefoot earlier in the spring, and I'd stay that way later in the fall. And I would ride more merry-go-rounds, and catch more gold rings, and greet more people and pick more flowers and dance more often. If I had it to do all over again - but you see, I don't."

"text": "There's a trick to the Graceful Exit. It begins with the vision to recognize when a job, a life stage, a relationship is over -- and to let go. It means leaving what's over without denying its validity or its past importance in our lives. It involves a sense of future, a belief that every exit line is an entry, that we are moving on, rather than out.\r\n\r\nThe trick of retiring well may be the trick of living well. It's hard to recognize that life isn't a holding action, but a process. It's hard to learn that we don't leave the best parts of ourselves behind, back in the dugout or the office. We own what we learned back there. The experiences and the growth are grafted onto our lives. And when we exit, we can take ourselves along -- quite gracefully."

The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked the woman to give it to him. She did so without hesitation. The traveler left, rejoicing in his good fortune. He knew the stone was worth enough to give him security for a lifetime. But a few days later he came back to return the stone to the wise woman. \"I've been thinking,\" he said, \"I know how valuable the stone is, but I give it back in the hope that you can give me something even more precious. Give me what you have within you that enabled you to give me the stone. "

It is to solve some of the problems of life, not only theoretically, but practically.\r\n"

They've just\r\ncome home from the high school. There'll be\r\na little party. Before everyone goes inside,\r\nsomeone, one of your brothers, says, \"Wait,\r\nwe need a photo of Gilbert and Pa.\r\nHow about over there by the tree? Gilbert,\r\nstand in front of the bench. Pa, you stand,\r\nnext to him. Okay, look at each other. That's good.\r\nGilbert, don't hide your diploma.\" So\r\nyou hold the roll of paper a bit higher.\r\n\r\nDad, that bench is so close, right behind you,\r\nif you backed up at all, you'd have to\r\nsit down. Go ahead. Sit with your dad.\r\nThere's enough room for the two of you,\r\nand smile. He'll reach his arm around you and\r\ntell you how proud he is.\r\n\r\nNow, the tall pine is gone, slashed in a storm.\r\nThe large yard, now covered by the house built\r\nby one of your brothers, then shared\r\nwith his son and his son's wife\r\nuntil last year when your brother\r\ncame home one night to find them\r\ninside, refusing to open the doors.\r\nThere he stood, on his own front steps, 89,\r\nlocked out, forever.\r\n\r\nI would like to stand in the space\r\nbetween you and your dad, and say,\r\n\"Let's sit together on this bench. Let's talk\r\nabout the things that frighten us,\"\r\nand we'd talk about boilers that explode,\r\nlong trips on rough seas to small islands,\r\nwhy a son, given everything,\r\nwould turn on his father, his family,\r\nthe love of family."

It's been the bedrock of our humor for many years. 3 blokes go into a pub. 3 into the 1. 3 into the 1. 3 things go into 1 thing and then humor--with a cur.\r\n\r\nIt's always the same. It's very similar to the holy trinity of the Christian faith. I'm sure you're very aware of that. The god-head: the 3 gods go into a god. Maybe that subconsciously we've picked that up over the years. It's embedded in our comedy consciousness. 3 gods go into a god. You get somebody to explain the trinity to you. They'll say, \"Well God--he's God, Jesus is God as well, and the holy spirit is err...[gibberish]\"\r\n\r\nWhat? He's the fecking spirit of the Lord who impregnates Mary, then gets a bit up himself, and is reduced to light clerical duties. Let's examine that in joke form: 3 male divine natures go into a cosmic essence giving and receiving love--but not in a gay bishop way--to which the whole of Islam goes, \"What?\""

The priest scribbles out a prayer, tosses it down and walks away. Then one of the guy's friends walks by and the guy asks him for help. The friend jumps down into the hole with the first guy. The first guy asks, \"Are you stupid? Now we're both down here!\" The friend says, \"Yeah, but I've been down here before and I know the way out.\""

"text": "A novel is, alas-- for better or worse, a function of experience and maturity. Why are there almost no good novels written by people in their early twenties or in their teens? There are almost none. It's one of the great problems of teaching writing to young people-- you find talented young people, eighteen or nineteen years old; you try to teach them some skills; you try to teach them some awareness, some craft and discipline. But you are also aware that you're getting them all dressed up with no place to go for about ten years, because they've got to wait until they've settled into their own characters and into their own lives, until they know something in their lives; and then their good fiction, their good narrative, will begin to come out of them in their middle and late twenties-- I believe often not until their late thirties."

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so other people won't feel insecure around you. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we un-consciously give other people permission to do the same. As we feel liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.\r\n\r\n"

"text": "The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science. He who knows it not and can no longer wonder, no longer feel amazement, is as good as dead, a snuffed-out candle. It was the experience of mystery--even if mixed with fear-that engendered religion. A knowledge of the existence of something we cannot penetrate, of the manifestations of the profoundest reason and the most radiant beauty, which are only accessible to our reason in their most elementary forms-it is this knowledge and this emotion that constitute the truly religious attitude; in this sense, and in this alone, I am a deeply religious man. I cannot conceive of a God who rewards and punishes his creatures, or has a will of the type of which we are conscious in ourselves. An individual who should survive his physical death is also beyond my comprehension, nor do I wish it otherwise; such notions are for the fears or absurd egoism of feeble souls. Enough for me the mystery of the eternity of life, and the inkling of the marvellous structure of reality, together with the single-hearted endeavour to comprehend a portion, be it never so tiny, of the reason that manifests itself in nature."

The endless dancing shapes and patterns would reach far deeper into our minds than we could manage by reason and logic. You see, logic can only proceed from the premises and assumptions we already make, so we just drive round and round in little circles like little clockwork cars. We need dancing shapes to lift us and carry us, but they're harder to find these days. You can't stare into a radiator. You can't stare in the sea. Well, you can, but it's covered with plastic bottles and used condoms, so you just sit there getting cross. All we have to stare into is the white noise. The stuff we sometimes call information, but which is really just a babble rising in the air."

Or, at least, about a tenth of the cabin trunks were full of vivid, and often painful or uncomfortable memories of her past life; the other nine-tenths were full of penguins, which surprised her. Insofar as she recognised at all that she was dreaming, she realised that she must be exploring her own subconscious mind. She had heard it said that humans are supposed only to use about a tenth of their brains, and that no one was very clear what the other nine-tenths were for, but she had certainly never heard it suggested that they were used for storing penguins.\r\n"

First published thirty years ago, this radical, seminal work emerges only now, at the dawn of the 21st Century, as a remarkably prescient topology of the landscape directly ahead. This sequence of plainspoken textual fractals are at once soothing and mind-blowing, disorienting yet familiar. Herein lie the navigational keys to the ever changing map of human consciousness."

It means not that you have an open mind like a trash can that anybody can throw their rubbish in. Not that you don't have any opinions... you may even have very strong opinions but you must be prepared to change those opinions if the evidence proves you're wrong. Now that is actually psychologically and emotionally hard work. I found as I went on with it I had to change my mind many times in my life, academically and intellectually. Then it gets easier and you kind of get used to it and you realize that actually it's fine, I can drop my entire theory, it was wrong. Let go."

"text": "I can imagine Newton sitting down and working out his laws of motion and figuring out the way the Universe works and with him, a cat wandering around. The reason we had no idea how cats worked was because, since Newton, we had proceeded by the very simple principle that essentially, to see how things work, we took them apart. If you try and take a cat apart to see how it works, the first thing you have in your hands is a non-working cat. Life is a level of complexity that almost lies outside our vision; is so far beyond anything we have any means of understanding that we just think of it as a different class of object, a different class of matter; 'life', something that had a mysterious essence about it, was god given--and that's the only explanation we had."

If you outsource fulfillment, and your fulfillment partner has a different idea about what constitutes prompt delivery, your customers are not going to be happy, and there's nothing you can do about it, because it took 3 months to find a fulfillment partner in the first place, and in fact, you won't even know that your customers are unhappy, because they can't talk to you, because you've set up an outsourced customer service center with the explicit aim of not listening to your own customers."

"text": "The only reason I have ever thought that I would want a blog, is merely to criticize Intelligent Design. It is not a science. It is saying that anything not immediately obvious is the work of \"Higher Powers.\" It stops questions rather than promoting them, which is not science. It is honestly the same thing as the physics student that, rather than spend the time and finish a problem, simply skips to the answer and calls a \"higher power\" to fill in at an equals sign. Quick if we make enough eraser marks than no one will notice we didn't prove anything."

It's very private and you don't allow anybody in there because it's so crazy. Every so often I find somebody that I can talk to about it. When you go into the isolation tank outsanity is gone. Now, outsanity is what we're doing now, it's exchanging thoughts and so on. I'm not talking about my insanity and you're not talking about yours. Now, if our insanities overlap then we can be friends."

You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then--to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the thing for you. Look at what a lot of things there are to learn--pure science, the only purity there is. You can learn astronomy in a lifetime, natural history in three, literature in six. And then, after you have exhausted a milliard lifetimes in biology and medicine and theocriticism and geography and history and economics--why, you can start to make a cartwheel out of the appropriate wood, or spend fifty years learning to begin to learn to beat your adversary at fencing. After that you can start again on mathematics, until is it is time to learn to plough."

There's his hooligan kids snapping their fingers at me. There's a putrid, rotting corpse of a dead whore stuck in the springs of the bed. There's rooms blazing afire. There's a big fat needle from God knows where, stuck in my leg, infecting me with God knows what. And finally there's me, walking out the door, right fucking now. Buenas noches."

"text": "It isn't just that the sample rate is too low, it's the phase angler that drives me crazy. You record a vocal track on a good 24-track machine and what it spits out afterward, the wave forms match exactly. There's a little bit of distortion which usually is considered a benefit, but the actual wave form is true. You can take a before or after, you make an analog onto your computer and then play it back, the wave form is completely different. The reason is the high frequency and the low frequency are no longer in correct timing with each other. It actually causes a shift. It's very significant. For my purposes, where I double-track a lot of things, I double-track vocals, lead guitar and all the rhythm instruments. As I'm playing I lay down the original track, and as I lay down the double, I am listening to the way to the two tracks play against each other in the phase cancellation. That's what really creates the magic with double-tracking. When it's going the way I like it, I keep going. When it's not I stop and go back and do it again. You can't do that in digital because the basic digital signal plays you back a signal that has been phase-shifted. The live guitar or vocal combined with the recorded one sounds a lot different -- the live track and the played-back track are not the same. Very few people know that. Anybody can do that experiment by recording on both a good old analog machine and on their computer at the same time and then playing the computer track back to the tape. You can't get it to match up. With a tape machine, it'll either reinforce and be twice as loud or you can put it out of phase and it'll disappear."

It must have been made to have me in it.\" And the sun rises, and it's continuing to narrate this story about how this hole must have been made to have him in it. And as the sun rises, and gradually the puddle is shrinking and shrinking and shrinking -- and by the time the puddle ceases to exist, it's still thinking -- it's still trapped in this idea that -- that the hole was there for it.

In this connection it might be worth-while to point out that the purpose of abstracting is not to be vague, but to create a new semantic level in which one can be absolutely precise."

It claimed that this would be a good development: you would be able to tour the world \"without changing out of your pajamas.\" These mirror worlds would be \"the new public square,\" would \"monopolize the energy and attention of thousands..., broadcast an aesthetic and a world-view to millions, mold behavior and epitomize the age.\""

Intelligent design fails as science because it does exactly that - it posits that life is too complex to have arisen from natural causes, and instead requires the intervention of an intelligent designer who is beyond natural explanation. Invoking the supernatural can explain anything, and hence explains nothing."

'IT' means '9-to-5, Monday through Friday.' I'm surprised that a pair of CS profs would lament the lack of \"IT researchers and educators\" -- isn't more CS researchers and educators what they want? If we're to point fingers, it was corporate IT that sucked the 'thrill' out of computer science's reputation among undergrads. (That, or Scott Adams. )If there's anything truly opposed to the \"hacker\" philosophy that makes CS thrilling, it's the reputation of corporate information technology."

I'm not one to make allusions to primitive life as if that describes the natural state of man, but I will in this case: When you listened to the tribe storyteller, you could remix before passing on; when you heard from the town crier, you could stick your head out the window and ask for details; when you set the price of a good or service, you got to haggle with the seller. This is why Socrates said that education is a conversation, and why Luther said that prayer is a conversation, and why Cluetrain says that markets are conversations, and why I say that news is a conversation. That is the natural order of things."

"text": "A delusion that encourages belief where there is no evidence is asking for trouble. Disagreements between incompatible beliefs cannot be settled by reasoned argument because reasoned argument is drummed out of those trained in religion from the cradle. Instead, disagreements are settled by other means which, in extreme cases, inevitably become violent. Scientists disagree among themselves but they never fight over their disagreements. They argue about evidence or go out and seek new evidence. Much the same is true of philosophers, historians and literary critics. But you don't do that if you just know your holy book is the God-written truth and the other guy knows that his incompatible scripture is too. People brought up to believe in faith and private revelation cannot be persuaded by evidence to change their minds. No wonder religious zealots throughout history have resorted to torture and execution, crusades and jihads, holy wars and purges and pogroms, the Inquisition and burning of witches."

In private life, it makes people fall in love with you and seek you for purposes ranging from honored dinner guest to spouse; and in business it helps more than any other single qualification, with the possible exception of being the owner's eldest child. That is enthusiasm. A look of vitality and happiness, an interest in the world and an eagerness to participate in life, is what is called charm in the social milieu; but in the working world is called competence."

And furthermore, as an adult, I don't want my right to access media that I like, to be hindered because some child might accidentally see it. I am a grown up and I'm tired of being forced to cater to the tastes of children whose parents can't be bothered to handle raising them.\r\n\r\nThis game isn't meant for them anyway, and it's not my fault if they see it. Sure kids might get access to it. Kids might also steal their parents' car keys, break into their liquor cabinet and download porn. That problem can easily be solved if parent take an extra five minutes to pay attention to their kids' activities. "

For example, geeks had spam before most normal people had ever even heard of AOL. Additionally, the problems of overload and attention deficit that seem to be spreading so rapidly these days have been staples in the geek world since time immemorial. Most geeks would rather die than be bored for five minutes, and that kind of disposition can lead to some odd works habits and some very intriguing problems."

Choose a big fucking television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disk players and electrical tin openers...choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on the couch, watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarassment to the selfish, fucked-up brats you spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life. But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose something else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?"

If Christianity is true, mankind are not such pitiful worms as they seem to be; they are of interest to the Creator of the universe, who takes the trouble to be pleased with them when they behave well and displeased when they behave badly. This is a great compliment. We should not think of studying an ants' nest to find out which of the ants performed their formicular duty, and we should certainly not think of picking out those individual ants who were remiss and putting them into a bonfire. If God does this for us, it is a compliment to our importance; and it is even a pleasanter compliment if he awards to the good among us everlasting happiness in heaven."

It's hard to imagine that anybody who is interested in complexity wouldn't start looking at biology, because there isn't anything else anywhere close to it. Classical mathematics sort of checks out when you get into nonlinear phenomena, or even just simple recursive functions. Some civilizations had bricks throughout their entire existence and never figured out the arch, because the arch is a nonlinear organization of bricks. To me that's the most interesting thing: that in matters of complexity, architecture dominates material."

"text": "Q: Some scientists say that removing religion or God from their life would leave it meaningless, that it's God that gives meaning to life.\r\n\r\nA: Quite the contrary, the scientific worldview is a poetic worldview, it is almost a transcendental worldview. We are amazingly privileged to be born at all and to be granted a few decades--before we die forever--in which we can understand, appreciate and enjoy the universe. And those of us fortunate enough to be living today are even more privileged than those of earlier times. We have the benefit of those earlier centuries of scientific exploration. Through no talent of our own, we have the privilege of knowing far more than past centuries. Aristotle would be blown away by what any schoolchild could tell him today. That's the kind of privileged century in which we live. That's what gives my life meaning. And the fact that my life is finite, and that it's the only life I've got, makes me all the more eager to get up each morning and set about the business of understanding more about the world into which I am so privileged to have been born."

Religion is scarcely distinguishable from childhood delusions like the \"imaginary friend\" and the bogeyman under the bed. Unfortunately, the God delusion possesses adults, and not just a minority of unfortunates in an asylum."

"text": "Q: Is there an emotional side to the intellectual enterprise of exploring the story of life on Earth?\r\n\r\nA: Yes. When you meet a scientist who calls themself religious, you'll often find that that's what they mean. By \"religious\" they do not mean anything supernatural. They mean precisely the kind of emotional response to the natural world that you've described. Einstein had it very strongly. Unfortunately, he used the word \"God\" to describe it, which has led to a great deal of misunderstanding. But Einstein had that feeling, I have that feeling, you'll find it in the writings of many scientists. It's a kind of quasi-religious feeling. And there are those who wish to call it religious and who therefore are annoyed when a scientist calls himself an atheist. They think \"No, you believe in this transcendental feeling, you can't be an atheist.\" That's a confusion of language."

"text": "Q: So why do we insist on believing in God?\r\n\r\nA: From a biological point of view, there are lots of different theories about why we have this extraordinary predisposition to believe in supernatural things. One suggestion is that the child mind is, for very good Darwinian reasons, susceptible to infection the same way a computer is. In order to be useful, a computer has to be programmable, to obey whatever it's told to do. That automatically makes it vulnerable to computer viruses, which are programs that say \"Spread me, copy me, pass me on.\" Once a viral program gets started, there is nothing to stop it. Similarly, the child brain is preprogrammed by natural selection to obey and believe what parents and other adults tell it. In general, it's a good thing that child brains should be susceptible to being taught what to do and what to believe by adults. But this necessarily carries the down side that bad ideas, useless ideas, waste of time ideas like rain dances and other religious customs, will also be passed down the generations. The brain is very susceptible to this kind of infection. And it also spreads sideways by cross infection when a charismatic preacher goes around infecting new minds that were previously uninfected."

But, in any case, only those who slavishly worship success can think that effectiveness is admirable without regard to what is effected. For my part, I think it better to do a little good than to do much harm. The world that I should wish to see would be one freed from the virulence of group hostilities and capable of realizing that happiness for all is to be derived rather from co-operation than from strife. I should wish to see a world in which education aimed at mental freedom rather than at imprisoning the minds of the young in a rigid armor of dogma calculated to protect them through life against the shafts of impartial evidence. The world needs open hearts and open minds, and it is not through rigid systems, whether old or new, that these can be derived."

"text": "I don't accept the currently fashionable assertion that any view is automatically as worthy of respect as any equal and opposite view. My view is that the moon is made of rock. If someone says to me \"Well, you haven't been there, have you? You haven't seen it for yourself, so my view that it is made of Norwegian Beaver Cheese is equally valid\" - then I can't even be bothered to argue. There is such a thing as the burden of proof, and in the case of god, as in the case of the composition of the moon, this has shifted radically. God used to be the best explanation we'd got, and we've now got vastly better ones. God is no longer an explanation of anything, but has instead become something that would itself need an insurmountable amount of explaining. So I don't think that being convinced that there is no god is as irrational or arrogant a point of view as belief that there is. I don't think the matter calls for even-handedness at all. "

"text": "If you describe yourself as \"Atheist,\" some people will say, \"Don't you mean 'Agnostic'?\" I have to reply that I really do mean Atheist. I really do not believe that there is a god - in fact I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one. It's easier to say that I am a radical Atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it's an opinion I hold seriously. It's funny how many people are genuinely surprised to hear a view expressed so strongly."

"text": "I was trying to explain to someone recently the difference between the intoxication of infatuation, and the happiness of a long-time love. It's hard to explain, really. Infatuation has energy and excitement. It's a high. It's like the first drop on the roller coaster--exhilarating and terrifying all at once. Long-term love is sweet and slow and solid and secure. It's knowing that someone knows you--knows all about you, knows what you like, knows how you think. Infatuation takes your breath away; love takes your fears away."

"text": "Of course, the embracing of friends, of taking them to your heart and into rooms of your psyche where others are forbidden to go, can be dangerous. It requires a faith and trust in them which can be hard to give. However open or private a person may be, there is a step to be taken which involves the disclosure of things which you may not want to disclose. While no-one is an open book, there are still pieces of life which everyone keeps to themself, either embarrassed or ashamed by their deeds, choices and thoughts.\r\n\r\nThose grubby, imperfect jewels are kept tight in a locked box within us, where we are unwilling to put them on display. Which is precisely why we are afraid and disappointed by the betrayal of friends; \"I allowed you in, only you, to hold you close, and yet you remained unmoved by this rare privilege, this denuding, and turned to expose me\". Just as you can be betrayed by a kiss, you can be betrayed by a hug."

They forget their bad thoughts and good thoughts equally, disposing of the night's murmurings as they rise, shower, brush and floss. I keep my night thoughts with me. Did I say I was jealous of the dreamers? Well, I was until now. Now, I pity them for their loss, when I can recall my visions as clear as the daybreak I see after hours of darkness.\r\n\r\nThere is poetry in my awake-dreams, there is majesty and there is wonder. With eyes open and casting from chair to pillow to wall to sheets, I construct fantasies beyond the words I know how to mouth. You have been princess, goddess, heroine, all these and more in my wake-dreams, all these without my ever touching you, sliding the back of a hand across your hair or running a finger down your cheek. If the idealised you met the real you, I'm sure that you both would have a lot in common."

"text": "I mean, lies are interesting to begin with, but this one is particularly interesting because it must be admitted in the end, at least to someone you get involved with, because the truth is bound to come out regardless. This makes it different from the lie, say, of telling someone that their pathetic haircut looks good. If we had to admit such lies, we wouldn't tell them. This is one of the things I've realized recently: there are few lies we would tell at the cost of having to later admit them to the person we deceived. Lying to a murderer is one exception, as is lying to a friend to keep her surprise birthday party a secret."

So therefore you leave him to create the universe because we haven't figured that out yet; you need him for understanding those things which you don't believe the laws will explain, such as consciousness, or why you only live to a certain length of time--life and death--stuff like that. God is always associated with those things that you do not understand. Therefore I don't think that the laws can be considered to be like God because they have been figured out."

"text": "I was in the pub last night, and a guy asked me for a light for his cigarette. I suddenly realised that there was a demand here and money to be made, and so I agreed to light his cigarette for 10 pence, but I didn't actually give him a light, I sold him a license to burn his cigarette. My firelicense restricted him from giving the light to anybody else, after all, that fire was my property. He was drunk, and dismissing me as a loony, but accepted my fire (and by implication the licence which governed its use) anyway. Of course in a matter of minutes I noticed a friend of his asking him for a light and to my outrage he gave his cigarette to his friend and pirated my fire! I was furious, I started to make my way over to that side of the bar but to my added horror his friend then started to light other people's cigarettes left, right, and centre! Before long that whole side of the bar was enjoying MY fire without paying me anything. Enraged I went from person to person grabbing their cigarettes from their hands, throwing them to the ground, and stamping on them. Strangely the door staff exhibited no respect for my property rights as they threw me out the door."

In fact the hen is not the bird traditionally associated with heralding a new sunrise, but Mrs Huggs, while collecting many old folk songs for posterity, has taken care to rewrite them where necessary to avoid, as she put it, 'offending those of a refined disposition with unwarranted coarseness'. Much to her surprise, people often couldn't spot the unwarranted coarseness until it had been pointed out to them. \r\nSometimes a chicken is nothing but a bird."

"text": "It's amazing how good governments are, given their track record in almost every other field, at hushing up things like alien encounters. One reason may be that the aliens themselves are too embarrassed to talk about it. It's not known why most of the spacegoing races of the universe want to undertake rummaging in Earthling underwear as a prelude to formal contact. But representatives of several hundred races have taken to hanging out, unsuspected by one another, in rural corners of the planet and, as a result of this, keep on abducting other would-be abductees. Some have been in fact abducted while waiting to carry out an abduction on a couple of other aliens trying to abduct the aliens who were, as a result of misunderstood instructions, trying to form cattle into circles and mutilate crops. The planet Earth is now banned to all alien races until they can compare notes and find out how many, if any, real humans they have actually got. It is gloomily suspected that there is only one who is big, hairy and has very large feet. The truth may be out there, but lies are inside your head."

The Weak One says, basically, that it was jolly amazing of the universe to be constructed in such a way that humans could evolve to a point where they make a living in, for example, universities, while the Strong One says that, on the contrary, the whole point of the universe was that humans should not only work in universities but also write for huge sums books with words like 'Cosmic' and 'Chaos' in the titles.* \r\nThe UU Professor of Anthropics had developed the Special and Inevitable Anthropic Principle, which was that the entire reason for the existence of the universe was the eventual evolution of the UU Professor of Anthropics. But this was only a formal statement of the theory which absolutely everyone, with only some minor details of a 'Fill in name here' nature, secretly believes to be true.\r\n\r\n\r\n* And they are correct. The universe clearly operates for the benefit of humanity. This can be readily seen from the convenient way the sun comes up in the morning, when people are ready to start the day."

You have a part to play. Have faith.' We can decide to risk He is indeed there, watching, caring, cherishing us as we love and accept love. The world will be a better place for it. And wherever they are, the angels will dance."

And when it subsides you have to make a decision; you have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you two should ever part, because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the desire to mate every second of the day, it's not laying awake at night imagining that he is kissing every part of your body. No, that is just being in love, which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love, itself, is what is left over when being in love has burned away. Doesn't sound very exciting, does it? But, it is.\r\n"

That ideas should freely spread from one to another over the globe, for the moral and mutual instruction of man, and improvement of his condition, seems to have been peculiarly and benevolently designed by nature, when she made them, like fire, expansible over all space, without lessening their density at any point, and like the air in which we breathe, move, and have our physical being, incapable of confinement or exclusive appropriation. Inventions then cannot, in nature, be a subject of property."

We need time to lie fallow like we did in childhood, so we can recuperate. Rather than be constantly told what you want and be pressurised to go after it, I think we would benefit greatly from vaguely restless boredom in which desire can crystallise."

Yet he seriously believes that these things can every one of them, in all their tones and semi-tones, in all their blends and unions, be accurately represented by an arbitrary system of grunts and squeals. He believes that an ordinary civilized stockbroker can really produce out of his own inside noises which denote all the mysteries of memory and all the agonies of desire."

Still, there is a solution. He can say, \"As Barbara Cartland would put it, I love you madly.\" At this point, having avoided false innocence, having said clearly that it is no longer possible to speak innocently, he will nevertheless have said what he wanted to say to the woman: that he loves her, but he loves her in an age of lost innocence. If the woman goes along with this, she will have received a declaration of love all the same."

A knowledge of certain restricted parts of magnetism and hydrodynamics, neither of them subjects for which I felt the least bit of enthusiasm. No published papers at all. Only gradually did I realize that this lack of qualification could be an advantage. By the time most scientists have reached age thirty they are trapped by their own expertise. They have invested so much effort in one particular field that it is often extremely difficult, at that time in their careers, to make a radical change. I, on the other hand, knew nothing, except for a basic training in somewhat old-fashioned physics and mathematics and an ability to turn my hand to new things. Since I essentially knew nothing, I had an almost completely free choice."

It was Friday and the assignment, a question about the Industrial Revolution, was due on Monday. Neither Amy nor her mother quite understood the question, so mother Rosalyn asked a White House aide to run the question by the Labor Department. Sunday afternoon a truck pulled up at the White House loaded with a computer printout. Someone had assumed that the president needed the information urgently and so the Labor Department had assigned a team to work all weekend to prepare the documents. When Rosalyn learned that the research had cost hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars she was horrified but Amy went ahead and used the information to complete her homework. She got a \"C\"."

"text": "Human beings, for instance, are basically electrochemically driven membrane processes. We take in oxidant and fuel, we change the form of it, things move through membranes, and we oxygenate our blood - that's how nature works. Most industry is built on brute force: you start a process by increasing pressure or temperature. Nature changes free energy states much more gently, and, as a result, much more efficiently. So the next century is going to see a shift toward electrochemical processes and away from temperature and pressure systems."

They're forced to buy whatever culture comes at them through television, etc. For example, do you know how to bake bread, of course not. So you buy it. Imagine if everyone forgot how to bake bread except the big bakeries, how much they could charge and the shitty bread they could get away with selling. No, the only thing we really know is how to file stuff. No wonder kids start expressing themselves with guns and bombs. Our schools are creating a generation of slaves instead of masters."

You may learn to pass all your exams, but to give primary importance to these superficial things when the whole structure of society is crumbling, is like cleaning and polishing your fingernails while the house is burning down."

Unlike children and parents, it knows neither criticism nor resentment. Friendship has no status in law. Business partnerships are based on a contract. So is marriage. Parents are bound by the law, as are children. But friendship is freely enteredd into, freely given, freely exercised. Friends never cheat each other, or take advantage, or lie. Friends do not spy on one another, yet they have no secrets. Friends glory in each other's successes and are downcast by the failures. Friends minister to each other, nurse each other. Friends give to each other, worry about each other, stand always ready to help. Perfect friendship is rarely achieved, but at its height, is an ecstasy."

If someone bases their happiness on major events like a great job, huge amounts of money, a flawlessly happy marriage or a trip to Paris, that person isn't going to be happy much of the time. If, on the other hand, happiness depends on a good breakfast, flowers in the yard, a drink or a nap, then we are more likely to live with quite a bit of happiness."

O life!... of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless--of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life?' Answer. That you are here--that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. That the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?"

If time be of all things the most precious, wasting time must be the greatest prodigality; since lost time is never found again and what we call time enough always proves little enough. Let us then be up and doing, and doing to the purpose; so by diligence shall we do more with less perplexity. Sloth makes all things difficult, but industry all easy. Employ thy time well, if thou meanest to gain leisure. Since thou art not sure of a minute, throw not away an hour."

"text": "Find your discomfort zone. The more comfortable we are in a particular setting the less we need to think about what we're doing. The problem with being comfortable is that it means we're not challenging the existing norms of whatever group we're in. We're playing our role. The problem is that it becomes difficult to try new things, think new thoughts and pull ideas from the outside. By contrast, we tend to be most uncomfortable when we're working in new settings, where we're not quite sure what's the right thing to do or the appropriate way to behave, and we're not sure that we have anything to contribute. Those are the moments when we find out that indeed whatever this new situation is we've seen something in the past that might work. Whatever we come up with chances are it will be different than what's been done before."

There's just this for consolation: an hour here or there when our lives seem, against all odds and expectations, to burst open and give us everything we've ever imagined, though everyone but children knows these hours will inevitably be followed by others, far darker and more difficult. Still, we cherish the city, the morning; we hope, more than anything, for more."

"text": "Obituary: Doughboy Dead at 71...\r\nVeteran Pillsbury spokesman Pop N. Fresh, died yesterday of a severe yeast infection. He was 71. Fresh was buried in one of the largest funeral ceremonies in recent years. Dozens of celebrities showed their respects including: Mrs. Butterworth, the California Raisins, Hungry Jack, Betty Crocker and the Hostess Twinkies. The gravesite was piled high with flours and longtime friend, Aunt Jemima, delivered the eulogy, describing Fresh as a man who \"never knew how much he was kneaded.\" Fresh rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with many turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie, squandering much of his dough on half-baked schemes. Still, even as a crusty old man, he was a roll model for millions. Fresh is survived by his second wife. They have two children and one in the oven. The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes."

He reasoned like this: you can't have more than one king, and tradition demands that there is no gap between kings, so when a king dies the succession must therefore pass to the heir instantaneously. Presumably, he said, there must be some elementary particles--kingons, or possibly queons--that do this job, but of course succession sometimes fails if, in mid-flight, they strike an anti-particle, or republicon. His ambitious plans to use his discovery to send messages, involving the careful torturing of a small king in order to modulate the signal, were never fully expounded because, at that point, the bar closed."

Because human begins are just machines, Petra knew that, machines that do what you want them to do if you only know the levers to pull. And no matter how complex people might seem, if you just cut them off from the network of people who give shape to their personality, the communites that form their identity, they'll be reduced to that set of levers. Doesn't matter how hard they resist, or how well they know they're being manipulated. Eventually, if you take the time, you can play them like a piano, every note right where you expect it.\r\n\r\nEven me, thought Petra"

"text": "What a laugh, though. To think that one human being could ever really know another. You could get used to each other, get so habituated that you could speak their words right along with them, but you never knew why other people said what they said or did what they did, because they never even knew themselves. Nobody understands anybody. And yet somehow we live together, mostly in peace, and get things done with a high enough success rate that people keep trying. Human beings get married and a lot of the marriages work, and they have children and most of them grow up to be decent people, and they have schools and businesses and factories and farms that have results at some level of acceptability--all without having a clue what's going on inside anybody's head. Muddling through, that's what human beings do. That was the part of being human that Bean hated the most."

If you think that everybody around you is a puppet why bother talking to them at all? Why even try to plan anything or create anything, since everything you plan or create or desire or dream of is just acting out the script your puppeteer built into you."

And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader, and gladly so."

"text": "Don't you understand, any of you? There's only one species that we know of that has deliberately, consciously, knowingly tried to destroy another sentient species without any serious attempt at communication or warning. We're the ones. The first xenocide failed because the victims of the attack managed to conceal exactly one pregnant female. The second time it failed for a better reason--because some members of the human species determined to stop it. Not just some, many. Congress. A big corporation. A philosopher on Divine Wind. A Samoan divine and his fellow believers on Pacifica. Wang-mu and I. Jane. And Admiral Land's own officers and men, when they finally understood the situation. We're getting better, don't you see? But the fact remains--we humans are the sentient species that has shown the most tendency to deliberately refuse to communicate with other species and instead destroy them utterly. Maybe the descoladores are varelse and maybe they're not. But I'm a lot more frightened at the thought that we are varelse. That's the cost of using the Little Doctor when it isn't needed and never will be, given the other tools in our kit. If we choose to use the M.D. Device, then we are not ramen. We can never be trusted. We are the species that would deserve to die for the safety of all other sentient life."

The politest people are content merely to show an attentive mien, while all the time we see that their eyes and their minds are wandering, and that they are in a rush to return to what they want to say. They should consider that this insistent search for self-satisfaction is a poor way of giving pleasure, and that it is a greater accomplishment to listen well and reply justly than to speak well and often without responding to what others are saying to us."

"text": "There's one problem with all psychological knowledge--nobody can apply it themselves. People can be incredibly astute about the shortcoming of their friends, spouses, children. But they have no insight into themselves at all. The same people who are coldly clear-eyed about the world around them have nothing but fantasies about themselves. Psychological knowledge doesn't work if you look in a mirror. This bizarre fact is, as far as I know, unexplained."

"text": "I'd always figured something similar must happen when people turn their psychological insight-apparatus on themselves. The brain ahngs. The thought process goes and goes, but it doesn't get anywhere. It must be something like that, because we know that people can think about themselves indefinitely. Some people think of little else. Yet people never seen to change as a result of their intensive introspection. They never understand themselves better. It's very rare to find genuine self-knowledge. It's almost as if you need someone else to tell you who you are, or to hold up the mirror for you. Which, if you think about it, is very weird."

The Australian government can now detain you just because of who you have met, and imprison you just for not answering questions. The Attorney General, with the consent of a few other officials, could declare ZDnet a \"terrorist organization\" tomorrow, without a trial, and you would have no recourse. They can ban a club, a union, even a political party. If you are connected with the banned organisation, you are a criminal, guilty by association. It is unnecessary to prove you actually tried to hurt anyone."

You can't just stop teaching us stuff because--\"\r\n\tEnder slammed his hand against the wall and shouted at the kid. \"I don't care about the game anymore!\" He looked at other soldiers, met their gaze, refused to let them pretend they didn't hear. \"Do you understand that?\" Then he whispered. \"The game is over.\"\r\n\tHe walked away.\r\n\tSome of the boys wanted to follow him, took a few steps. But Hot Soup grabbed a couple of them by the neck of their flash suits and said, \"Let him be alone. Can't you see he wants to be alone?\"\r\n\tOf course he wants to be alone, thought Bean. He killed a kid today, and even if he doesn't know the outcome, he knows what was at stake. These teachers were willing to let him face death without help. Why should he play along with them anymore?

A person should not believe in an ism -- he should believe in himself. I quote John Lennon: \"I don't believe in The Beatles, I just believe in me\". A good point there."

"text": "Sophie, every faith in the world is based on fabrication. That is the definition of faith--acceptance of that which we imagine to be true, that which we cannot prove. Every religion describes God through metaphor, allegory, and exaggeration, from the early Egyptians through Sunday school. Metaphors are a a way to help our minds process the unprocessible. The problems arise when we begin to believe literally in our own metaphors."
