“Degree of discipline exists in countless areas.”
“Degrees do not matter... one does not bargain about inches of evil.”
“Degrees of ability vary, but the basic principle remains the same: the degree of a man's independence, initiative and personal love for his work determines his talent as a worker and his worth as a man. Independence is the only gauge of human virtue and value. What a man is and makes of himself; not what he has or hasn't done for others. There is no substitute for personal dignity. There is no standard of personal dignity except independence.”

“Dehabhaav (the belief that 'this is my body') has to be cleared entirely. Manobhaav (the belief that 'this is my mind') has to be cleared entirely. Vanibhaav (the belief that 'this my speech') has to be cleared entirely. The entire dehadhyas (the belief that 'I am the body') has to be cleared.”

“Dehadhyas (the belief that, 'I am the body') and Atmadhyan (internal state that results in the constant awareness of ‘I am pure Soul’) are as opposite as north and south! One becomes free of dehadhyas by the same proportion that one's Atmadhyan manifests.”
Source: The Flawless Vision
“Dehadhyas (the belief that ‘I am the body’) does not leave without [the grace of] the Gnani Purush (the Self-realized One, who can help others realize the Self). The Gnani Purush is vitaraag (one who is free from all attachment). He constantly remains in Swa-parinati (the natural state of the Self). The Gnani Purush does not remain [engrossed] in the body, mind, intellect or ego. That is why only the Gnani Purush can free us from our belief that 'I am the body.”

“Dehadhyas (the belief that ‘I am the body’) is to continue believing you are someone that you really are not. If you do not believe the body to be yours, but you believe that the mind is yours, then manodhyas (the belief that 'I am the mind') still remains.”
Source: The Guru and The Disciple
“Dehadhyas (the belief that ‘I am the body’) will leave only when the belief of 'I am Pure Soul' prevails. Dehadhyas does not leave by simply saying, "The wife and children are not mine.”

“Dehortations from the use of strong liquors have been the favourite topic of sober declaimers in all ages, and have been received with abundance of applause by water-drinking critics. But with the patient himself, the man that is to be cured, unfortunately their sound has seldom prevailed.”

“Dei siciliani scapoli che si stabilirono a Roma intorno al 1930, otto per lo meno, se la memoria non m'inganna, affittarono ciascuno una casa ammobiliata, in quartieri poco rumorosi e frequentati, e quasi tutti andarono a finire presso insigni monumenti, dei quali però non seppero mai la storia né osservarono la bellezza, e talvolta addirittura non li videro. Che cosa non saltò il loro occhio ansioso di scorgere la donna desiderata in mezzo alla folla che scendeva dal tram? Cupole, portali, fontane… opere che, prima di essere attuate e compiute, tennero aggrottate per anni la fronte di Michelangelo o del Borromini, non riuscirono a farsi minimamente notare dall'occhio mobile e nero dell'ospite meridionale! Antiche campane, dalla voce grave e delicata, che si erano meritate i versi di Shelley e di Goethe, si guadagnarono un «Chi camurria, 'sta campana! Che seccatura, questa campana!» per aver fatto tremare all'alba, coi loro rintocchi, la parete su cui il giovanotto poggiava la fronte da poco addormentata
e ancora rosseggiante del disegno di una bocca.”

“DEI Sonnet
I call it curiosity,
You call it science.
I call it integrity,
You call it defiance.
I call it contemplation,
You call it philosophy.
I call it accountability,
You call it sociology.
I call it correction,
You call it revolution.
I call it existence,
You call it inclusion.
All I see is humans
finally living a human life.
You with your brainy fancy
philosophize it as DEI.”

“Deigh,' Liam whispers, falling limp against Tairn's back.
'I'll get you to him,' I promise, already fumbling with the strap's buckle. 'Deigh's gone,' I cry to Xaden, my voice a trembling mess. 'Liam is dying.'
'No,' I feel his terror, his sorrow, and his overpowering anger wrap around my mind, mixing with my own until it hurts to breathe.
Minutes. We have minutes.
'Just hold on,' I whisper to Liam, fighting not to cry as he looks up at me with those sky-blue eyes, wide with shock and pain. After everything Liam has given up for me, this is the least I can do for him. I can get him to Deigh the same way I know he would carry me to Tairn or Andarna.”

“dein Tod hat sich im Keller versteckt

“Deirdre Maddon has an extraordinary, almost celestial way of telling a story. There are so many great writers now - although I also want to go back and read all of Dickens again.”
“Deirdre’s consciousness flooded with unbidden images. Her foot on a man’s throat; her gun against a man’s head; her hand wrapped around power; her seat atop a throne of yellowed bone, a kingdom spread out below her in bloodstained wasteland. In return: offerings, worship.
Worship: apes eating their own young, faces smeared in meatjelly.
Worship: jackbooted soldiers marching over corpse-strewn battlefields.
Worship: a father staring at the severed hands and feet of his own child.
Inside her gut, an instinctive gospel heaved itself into her diaphragm. The scripture said there were two kinds of people in the world: predators and prey. All other truths were secondary. Deirdre could be a predator in exchange for worship. If not…”

“Deism claims that God creates the universe and the laws of nature and then is hands-off, with everything that subsequently happens in nature being due to natural processes.”
“Deism is compatible with evolutionary theory.”
“Deism is logically compatible with evolutionary theory for the simple reason that the theory says nothing about the origin of the universe or of the laws of nature.”
“Deism is the belief that nature and God are one and the same thing. If you study nature, you're getting insights about God.”
“Deism, historically, produces atheism. First you make God a landlord, then an absent landlord, then he becomes simply absent.”
“Deities are invented by fallible and finite beings in the hope and desire to create immortal perfection; unfortunately, such deities only reflect their creators and inspire their followers to similar imperfections.”

“Deity does not create data and then bestow it upon mankind. All data is man-made. Somebody, at some point, decided what data to collect, how to organize it, how to present it, and how to infer meaning from it—and it embeds all kinds of false rigor into the process. Data has the same agenda as the person who created it, wittingly or unwittingly. For all the time that senior leaders spend analyzing data, they should be making equal investments to determine what data should be created in the first place.”
