48bae8c Those who call black black and white white are sentenced for intolerance. Only the grays live. Fulton J. Sheen
27b9263 Why is it that the lover of horror cannot stand the sight of the crucifix? Why is it that the fanatics of murder stories are so cold to the story of the world's greatest sacrifice? The answer is that, unlike all other crimes, the crucifix accuses us. Fulton J. Sheen
e6d492e Three common criminals in the eyes of Roman law carry their crosses up a hill. One of them Our Savior forgives and rescues him into paradise. It was so undramatic. In fact, it was boring. So the soldiers took dice and sat down and shook them to see who would have His garments. There, within a stone's throw of them -- was being enacted the tremendous drama of redemption, and they only sat and gambled. All life is a gamble, as we only know it.. Fulton J. Sheen

46864fc Make this experiment whether you believe in God or not. At your first opportunity, stop in a Catholic Church for a visit. You need not believe, as we Catholics do, that Our Lord is really and truly present in the tabernacle. But just sit there for an hour, and within that hour you will experience a surpassing peace the like of which you never before enjoyed in your life. You will ask yourself as a sensationalist once asked me when we made a.. Fulton J. Sheen
1617e35 The most current philosophy of life is self-expressionism: "Let yourself go"; "Do whatever you please." Any suggestion of restraining errant impulses is called a masochistic survival of the dark ages. The truth is that the only really self-expressive people in the world are in the insane asylum. They have absolutely no inhibitions, no conventions, and no codes. They are as self-expressive as hell, i.e., in complete disorder." Fulton J. Sheen

a852fcc One can well believe that a crown of thorns, and that steel nails were less terrible to the flesh of our Savior than our modern indifference which neither scorns nor prays to the Heart of Christ. Fulton J. Sheen
510c0f7 Sin is self-mutilation, the destruction of personality -- when it takes the form of pride, it crowns Goodness with thorns; when it takes the form of dishonesty, it nails hands to a Cross; when it takes the form of hate, it blasphemes the dying; when it takes the form of lust, it crucifies. Fulton J. Sheen

ab5daaf Manniskan star inte i nagot forhallande till naturen bara darfor att hon utgor en del av den, utan aktivt genom arbete och teknik. Detta forhallande ar dessutom inte mekaniskt... Vi andrar oss alla, omformar oss i samma utstrackning som vi andrar och omformar de sammansatta forhallanden som vi ar mittpunkten i. I denna betydelse kan den sanna filosofen inte vara nagot annat an politikern, handlingsmanniskan som skapar om sin omgivning. Gramsci Antonio

12c4abd Odio gli indifferenti. Credo che vivere voglia dire partecipare. Chi vive veramente non puo non essere cittadino partecipe. L'indifferenza e abulia, e parassitismo, e vigliaccheria, non e vita. Percio odio gli indifferenti. L'indifferenza e il peso morto della storia. L'indifferenza opera potentemente nella storia. Opera passivamente, ma opera. E la fatalita; e cio su cui non si puo contare; e cio che sconvolge i programmi, che rovescia i p.. Gramsci Antonio
78d0e2d Culture is something quite different. It is organization, discipline of one's inner self, a coming to terms with one's own personality; it is the attainment of a higher awareness, with the aid of which one succeeds in understanding one's own historical value, one's own function in life, one's own rights and obligations. Antonio Gramsci

Second, the substitution of special identity groups advocated for by social justice activists for the working class championed by Marxists does not lead to an identical or nearly identical politics.

ef8b9f4 Common sense] is a spontaneous set of beliefs which together express a conception of the world which takes the social order as 'the way things are.' It is apparently the 'spontaneous feelings' that people have, the traditional popular conception of the world - what is unimaginatively called "instinct" although it too is in fact a primitive and elementary historical acquisition." Antonio Gramsci
4ce19c4 The Italian philosopher Antonio Gramsci used the term 'cultural hegemony' to describe the way in which ideas and concepts which benefit a dominant class are universalized. They become norms, adopted whole and unexamined, which shape our thinking. Perhaps we suffer from agricultural hegemony: what is deemed to be good for farmers or landowners is deemed, without question or challenge, to be good for everyone. George Monbiot
