| 23b9002 | There is something of a civil war going on within all of our lives. There is a recalcitrant South of our soul revolting against the North of our soul. And there is this continual struggle within the very structure of every individual life. --MARTIN | Ryan Holiday | ||

| 2b6fb14 | At some time during the process, [of writing] I came up with a therapeutic device. After each draft I would tear up the pages and feed the paper to a worm compost I keep in my garage. A few months later, those painful pages were dirt that nourished my yard, which I could walk with bare feet. It was a real and tangible connection to that larger immensity. I liked to remind myself that the same process is going to happen to me when I'm done, .. | ego humility self-delusion shortcoming | Ryan Holiday | |
| 9e8d148 | When you're at your wit's end, straining and straining with all your might, when people tell you you look like you might pop a vein . . . Take a step back, then go around the problem. Find some leverage. Approach from what is called the "line of least expectation." | Ryan Holiday | ||
| cf21cad | So how do my election law offenses compare to those of leading progressives? Well, let's see. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid took $31,000 in late 2013 from his campaign funds to buy jewelry for his granddaughter Ryan Elisabeth Reid's wedding. In his campaign year-end report, Reid tried to hide his granddaughter's relationship to him by simply listing the transaction as a "holiday gift" to one "Ryan Elisabeth." The impression Reid sought .. | Dinesh D'Souza | ||

Und du wirst eben nicht nur hart arbeiten mussen - das sowieso -, sondern du wirst auch deine Katzen ersaufen mussen. Und ich kenne keinen, der etwas gilt, der darum herumgekommen ist.

Ms. Ferri was so nice that I couldn't help wishing she taught ballet at my school, Anna Hart School of the Arts, so that I could have her all week instead of just on the weekends. But Ms. Ferri was too busy conducting the daily class for the HDC's professional dancers. And this year, she was busy rehearsing he.. | Laurence Yep | ||

| 09db50d | Iran's previous attempts at democracy were thwarted by foreigners--the British and Russians in 1905-1911; the United States in 1953--whose interests were served by suppressing all democratic aspirations in the region. | Reza Aslan | ||
| 0fec363 | Islam and Judaism in seventh-century Arabia operated within "the same sphere of religious discourse," in that both shared the same religious characters, stories, and anecdotes, both discussed the same fundamental questions from similar perspectives, and both had nearly identical moral and ethical values." | Reza Aslan | ||
| 8c2d9ea | Religion, it must be understood, is not faith. Religion is the story of faith. It is an institutionalized system of symbols and metaphors (read rituals and myths) that provides a common language with which a community of faith can share with each other their numinous encounter with the Divine Presence. | Reza Aslan | ||

| 22826ea | For European colonialists like Alfred, Lord Cromer, the British consul general to Egypt at the end of the nineteenth century, the veil was a symbol of the "degradation of women" and definitive proof that "Islam as a social system has been a complete failure." Never mind that Cromer was the founder of the Men's League for Opposing Women's Suffrage in England. As the quintessential colonialist, Cromer had no interest in the plight of Muslim w.. | Reza Aslan | ||

If it were, it would have included the Basque separatists in Spain, the Christian insurgency in East Timor, the Hindu/Marxist Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka, the Maoist rebels in eastern India, the Jewish Kach and Kahane underground in Israel, the Irish Republican Army, the Sikh separatists in the Punjab, the Marxist Mujahadin.. | Reza Aslan | ||

| 4b6039e | Cognitive theorists have a term for what Eve just experienced. They call it her Hypersensitive Agency Detection Device, or HADD. This is a biological process that arose deep in our evolutionary past, all the way back in the days when hominids were still stooped and hairy. In its simplest terms, HADD leads us to detect human agency, and hence a human cause, behind any unexplained event: a distant sound in the woods, a flash of light in the s.. | Reza Aslan | ||

| 86ff2f5 | It is a shame that this word, myth, which originally signified nothing more than stories of the supernatural, has come to be regarded as synonymous with falsehood, when in fact myths are always true. By their very nature, myths inhere both legitimacy and credibility. Whatever truths they convey have little to do with historical fact. To ask whether Moses actually parted the Red Sea, or whether Jesus truly raised Lazarus from the dead, or wh.. | Reza Aslan |
