The fact that the wheel doesn't have the slightest resemblance to the human foot is hardly a criticism of it.

When I am in situations where I break out of the pattern, it's hard on me. Once you get used to regular scripture study, you miss it if you don't have it. It's like food - you have to have it.

The notion of travelling to far places in order to study alien peoples and cultures, is unique to Western man; it springs from the predatory genius of the Greeks; no primitive peoples have ever come to study us. This is, on the one hand, a disinterested, intellectually inspired impulse. It is one of our glories. But it is, on the other, part and parcel of exploitation.

The result of his error was the French Revolution. It was an admirable result.

If speculation tends thus to a terrific unity, in which all things are absorbed, action tends directly back to diversity.

And where do His mercy, kindness, and love for that fish come in? No; nature made us - nature did it all - not the gods of the religions.
