| 7095f3a | It is worth noticing how far from anthropocentric is this vision of worship. Humanity is radically displaced from the centre of things where human beings naturally tend to place themselves. At its heart and in its eschatological goal the creation is theocentric, orientated in worship towards its Creator. But even among the worshippers human beings are not pre-eminent. The four living creatures who lead the worship of the whole creation are .. | Richard Bauckham | ||
| 18b4b96 | Thus it is a serious mistake to suppose that Revelation opposes the Roman Empire solely because of its persecution of Christians. Rather Revelation advances a thorough-going prophetic critique of the system of Roman power. It is a critique which makes Revelation the most powerful piece of political resistance literature from the period of the early Empire. It is not simply because Rome persecutes Christians that Christians must oppose Rome... | Richard Bauckham | ||
| dbbd7b6 | Moreover, it unmasks this dominant construction of the world as an ideology of the powerful which serves to maintain their power. In its place, Revelation offers a different way of perceiving the world which leads people to resist and to challenge the effects of the dominant ideology. | Richard Bauckham | ||

| 1992b1f | but there are many languages on earth that are basically gender neutral, using the same word for he, she, and it, or not using pronouns at all. You've probably heard of some of them. They include: Armenian, Comanche, Finnish, Hungarian, Hindi, Indonesian, Quechua, Thai, Tagalog, Turkish, Vietnamese, and Yoruba. | Dashka Slater | ||

I thought of Roebuck Lake, its swamps and sloughs and loblollies and breaks of cypress and cane, its sunken treetops and stobs and bream beds and sleepy gar rolling over and over and over, its baptizing pools and bridges and mussels and mosquitoes and turkey vultures and, now in the drought, the gray flaking mud-flats and logs crowded with turtles and sometimes a fat.. | faith home isolation love magic | Lewis Nordan | |

He said, "Get your shotgun, Sugar." I went to the corner near the stove and took my shotgun by the barrel. I got my shell bag and looked at Big G.B.to see what he was thinking. His face didn't tell me. I stood by the kitchen door holding the shotgun and shells. I said, .. | Lewis Nordan | ||

| 7063920 | Al'inizio lo feci malvolentieri, lo facevo unicamente per dar retta allo Scocciatore, sperando unicamente che la smettesse di tormentarmi. Ma poi ci presi gusto e mi ci dedicai anima e corpo. Avevo scoperto il piacere di scrivere e di ricordare, capivo che in questo modo mi sarei finalmente liberata dal peso del passato e che la penna, come un aratro, avrebbe smosso il terreno della memoria e gli avrebbe dato ordine. | Bernardo Atxaga | ||
| 509ad50 | Pero lo peor, pese a todo, no es que haya muchas inexactitudes y mentiras, pues eso quiza sea una caracteristica de todas las memorias. Lo peor es que recordar y poner en el papel lo recordado no trae alivio alguno. En vez de disminuir, las preguntas se multiplican, y la angustia se hace mas honda. | Bernardo Atxaga | ||
| c2f3600 | De todas maneras - continuo -, la pretension de entresacar los momentos especiales de nuestra vida puede ser un grave error. Es posible que la vida solo pueda ser juzgada en su totalidad, in extenso, y no a trozos, no tomando un dia y quitando otro, no separando los anos como las piezas de un rompecabezas para acabar diciendo que tal fue muy bueno y tal muy malo. Y es que todo lo que vive, vive como un rio. Sin cortes, sin paradas. | Bernardo Atxaga | ||

| 286a21b | From our view, these scars are very active in adult intimate relationships and show up constantly when a partner turns away or shows a still face when the other is trying to engage. | Harville Hendrix | ||
| 333eb9b | The couples counselor Harville Hendrix has written that the entire experience of falling in love can be distilled down to just four characteristic emotions. The first, he says, is a feeling of recognition--the thing that makes you say to your newfound love (the quotes are his), "I know we've just met, but somehow I feel as though I already know you." The second is a feeling of timelessness: "Even though we've only been seeing each other for.. | psychology | Kathryn Schulz | |
| 1ba9685 | Helen's research in the field of epistemology, the science of "how we know what we know," helps explain why. There are two different types of knowing: "Separate Knowing" and "Connected Knowing." Here's an illustration of the differences between the two. You have a "separate" or intellectual knowing of an apple if you can recognize a picture of the fruit, understand that it contains the seeds of the plant, or talk about its health benefits. .. | Harville Hendrix | ||
| 08a8375 | When Harville awakened, he looked at the same scene with a loud and appreciative exclamation. I was tempted to explain to him that I had already seen the beautiful view and was now working on an important email. But I recalled the "Still Face" video and moved to the window to join Harville's enthusiasm for the rising sun and shining beach, rather than be a still face. If I had not joined him, his excitement would have had no echo. The power.. | Harville Hendrix | ||

| 2f76812 | There are times in most relationships when one partner is mystified by the other's behavior: "You're crazy. You keep doing the same things over and over, and it's totally unproductive!" Or, "I am totally confused by you. You make no sense." "I'm surprised that you're going to accept that promotion. You are far too busy already." There are also times when you are triggered by something your partner does or by your partner's repetitive behavi.. | Harville Hendrix | ||

| cb00cd8 | generally speaking, there are two simplified categories that parenting falls into: intrusive or neglectful caretaking. Parents were either overinvolved--telling us what to do, think, and feel--or they were underinvolved--physically or emotionally absent. These challenges are across the spectrum from subtle to severe. As a response, we become anxious and self-absorbed, losing our capacity for empathy. We become the walking wounded in a battl.. | Harville Hendrix | ||
| eb464ef | Ironically, for reasons we will explore in later chapters, fusers (who experienced neglectful caretaking) and isolators (who experienced intrusive parenting) tend to grow up and marry each other, thus beginning an infuriating game of push and pull that leaves neither partner satisfied. | Harville Hendrix | ||

| 40fc895 | We certainly did--I do not deny it--have immeasurably more individual freedom, and we did not just welcome that, we made use of it. But as Friedrich Hebbel once nicely put it, "Sometimes we have no wine, sometimes we have no goblet." Both are seldom granted to one and the same generation; if morality allows a man freedom, the state tries to remould him. If the state allows him freedom, morality will try to impose itself." | Stefan Zweig | ||

| a31b8b2 | I get sentimental over the music of the '90s. Deplorable, really. But I love it all. As far as I'm concerned, the '90s was the best era for music ever, even the stuff that I loathed at the time, even the stuff that gave me stomach cramps. Every note from those years is charged with life for me now. For instance, I hated Pearl Jam at the time. I thought they were pompous blowhards. Now, whenever a Pearl Jam song comes on the car radio, I fin.. | Rob Sheffield | ||
