“Relevanz gründet immer auf der Frage: Was hat mein Kunde davon?”
“RELFECTIONS (Time Machine III)
A young man stares at his reflection,
And sees an old man looking back.
“Where did the time go?” he wonders.
And, “How did we ever lose track?”
“Is this the same person,
that amounts to wondrous things?
How long did we spend dreaming?
Is this reflection really as it seems?
Who are you old man?
I’ve seen you in times before.
Is this, the face that greets me,
the mask I always wore?”
The young man drops his stare,
And moves towards the door.
The boy he thought he was,
He can recognize no more.”

“Reliability engineers often assume that reliability and safety are synonymous, but this assumption is true only in special cases.”

“Reliability has become scarce – commitment has become scarce – attachment has become scarce. The very socio-psychological mechanisms that sustain the stability and wellness of a society are beginning to collapse, and when they do, the very fabric of societal stability and sanity will get ripped apart, which I am afraid is no longer a possibility. This has already begun to happen and the situation will get only worse, creating a society full of sociopaths, psychopaths and basically unstable, depressed and superficial human beings with no strength of character and conscience, and no sense of patience and sanity whatsoever. They will crave for appraisal – they will crave for attention – they will crave for flattery – they will crave for perfection. Everything about them will be artificial and superficial. And no matter how much they pretend to present their life as perfect, inside they will be dying every single second of their existence.”

“Reliable scientific knowledge is value free and has no moral or ethical value. Science tells us how the world is. ... Dangers and ethical issue arise only when science is applied as technology.”

“Relief+Grief:
The intense pain that someone, something, or an idea is gone forever, mixed with sweet relief that you also no longer have that problem or issue in your life anymore.”
Source: Naked
“Relief has its place. But what the people need is not relief, but release - release of their own potential for development.”
“Relief is a great feeling.It's the emotional and physical reward we receive from our bodies upon alleviation of pain, pressure and struggle. A time to bask in the lack of the negative.And yet, think about it—relief is really the status quo, a negation of the suffering, a nothing in itself. It is the way things were before the pressure and struggle began.So, is it a step back? A regression?Or is it an opportunity to regroup, start over, and move in a different direction?Use your moment of relief well.”
“Relief is a short-lived emotion, passive and thin. The agony of doubt disappears, leaving little memory of how it really felt. Life aligns behind the new truth.”
“Relief is a wonderful emotion, highly underrated. In fact, I prefer it to elation or joy. Relief lets the air out of the Tire of Pain.”

“Relieved because what I dreaded most in the whole world was going to happen and I wouldn’t have to live with it anymore—the fear. There is the relief of finally not being alone and the relief of being alone when no one can take anything away from you. Here she was, my beautiful fear. Shiny as crystal lace frost.”
“Relieved beyond measure, Sebastian spread his long fingers over the shape of Evie’s thigh. “Riddance,” he managed to mutter, as the door closed behind Hammond.
Evie was obviously torn between laughter and tears as she looked down at him. “You stubborn ass,” she said, her eyes wet. “We’ve just managed to drive off one of the most renowned doctors in London. Anyone else we find is going to want to bleed you as well. Who should I send for now? A white witch? A shaman? A Covent Garden fortune-teller?”
Using the last of his strength, Sebastian managed to drag her hand up to his mouth. “You,” he whispered, holding her fingers to his lips. “Just you.”

“Relieved of moral pretense and stripped of folk costumes, the raw masculinity that all men know in their gut has to do with being good at being a man within a small, embattled gang of men struggling to survive.”
“Religia îmi era de mult nesuferită, cu toate acestea, am simțit dintr-odată dorința de a mă raporta la ceva. Era insuportabil să fii singur și izolat. Trebuia să existe o relație cu altcineva, care să nu fie doar personală, întâmplătoare și unică, în care să nu fii constrâns să aparții celuilalt printr-o dragoste forțată și mincinoasă, ci printr-o legătură necesară, impersonală.”

“Religiekritiek is niet belangrijk omdat het zo fijn is om te vertrappen wat anderen heilig is. Niet omdat critici zoveel genoegen beleven aan het sarren en treiteren van kwetsbare religieuze minderheden. Niet omdat we zulke ongelooflijke lol beleven aan religieuze satire. Maar omdat elke sociale verandering in een wereld waarin het theoterrorisme om zich heen grijpt, begint bij religiekritiek.”

“Religija budućnosti nastaje na internetu, a kao lažni proroci biti blokirani svi oni koji ne budu hteli da odgovaraju na milione pitanja netizena dok će status pravog proroka i milijarde followera steći onaj ko bude uspeo da prepešači digitoralni okean dislajkova. Sledeći bog zvaće se Server. Sledeći đavo zvaće se Oflajn. To će biti mit dvadeset prvog veka.”

“Religio", as we know, harks back to a word (re-ligio) meaning "bond" and that is precisely what the anarch rejects. He does not go in for Moses with the Ten Commandments or, indeed, for any prophets. Nor does he wish to hear anything concerning gods or rumors about them, except as a historian - or unless they appear to him. That is when the conflicts begin.
So, if I state, "in order to pray," I am following an innate instinct that is no weaker than the sexual drive - in fact, even stronger. The two are alike insofar as foul things can happen when they are suppressed.”

“Religion (is) a universal obsessional neurosis.”
“Religion - religion, at best - at BEST - is like a lift in your shoe. If you need it for a while, and it makes you walk straight and feel better - fine. But you don't need it forever, or you can become permanently disabled. Religion is like a lift in the shoe, and I say just don't ask me to wear your shoes. And let's not go down and nail lifts onto the natives' feet.”
“Religion . . . shall mean for us the feelings, acts and experiences of individual men in their solitude.”

“Religion ... has certain ideas at the heart of it which we call sacred or holy or whatever. What it means is, 'Here is an idea or a notion that you're not allowed to say anything bad about; you're just not. Why not? Because you're just not. If someone votes for a party that you don't agree with, you're free to argue about it as much as you like; everybody will have an argument but nobody feels aggrieved by it. ... But on the other hand, if somebody says 'I mustn't move a light switch on a Saturday', you say 'I respect that'.”
“Religion [is] the universal obsessional neurosis of humanity”
“Religion, a mediaeval form of unreason, when combined with modern weaponry becomes a real threat to our freedoms. This religious totalitarianism has caused a deadly mutation in the heart of Islam and we see the tragic consequences in Paris today. I stand with Charlie Hebdo, as we all must, to defend the art of satire, which has always been a force for liberty and against tyranny, dishonesty and stupidity. ‘Respect for religion’ has become a code phrase meaning ‘fear of religion.’ Religions, like all other ideas, deserve criticism, satire, and, yes, our fearless disrespect."
[I Stand With Charlie Hebdo, as We All Must (Wall Street Journal, January 7, 2015)]”
“Religion a stalking horse to shoot other foul.”

“Religion all the world over offeres God as the solace and comfort for all in agony.”
