“To me, acting is a matter of absolute concentration. You can laugh and giggle with your friends up to the minute the director says, "Action!" Then you snap your mind into shape and into the character that you're playing and relate to the people that you're acting with and forget everybody else that you've been joking with.” PeopleMindMatterCharacterActionForgetActingLaughingMinutesShapesDirectorsAbsolutesRelateConcentrationSnapsGiggle Author:Elizabeth Taylor

“You can't relate to an absolute or it wouldn't be absolute, it would be relative. On an intellectual level, that's easy. However, you hear theologians in the theistic traditions talk about absolute God, and I saw God, or God spoke; speaking, being seen, these are all relational things. So what is absolute about such a being, wouldn't actually be absolute.” Would BeEasyLevelsSawsIntellectualTraditionAbsolutesRelateSpokesRelativeTheologian Author:Robert Thurman
“Of course, there are different truths on different levels. Things are true relative to other things; "long" and "short" relate to each other, "high" and "low," and so on. But is there any absolute truth? Something self-sufficient, independently true in itself? I don't think so.” ThinkingLongDifferentSelfCoursesLevelsLowsAbsolutesRelateSufficientRelativeAbsolute TruthDifferent LevelsSelf SufficientHighs And Lows Author:Dalai Lama
“In recent years my understanding of God had evolved into increasingly remote abstractions. I'd come to think of God in terms like Divine Reality, the Absolute, or the One who holds us in being. I do believe that God is beyond any form and image, but it has grown clear to me that I need an image in order to relate. I need an image in order to carry on an intimate conversation with what is so vast, amorphous, mysterious, and holy that it becomes ungraspable. I mean, really, how to you become intimate with Divine Reality? Or the Absolute?” ThinkingNeedsYearsBelieveMeanRealityFormOrderUnderstandingTermClearDivineHolyConversationAbsolutesMysteriousRelateIntimateAbstractionIntimate Conversation Book:Traveling with Pomegranates: A Mother and Daughter Journey to the Sacred Places of Greece, Turkey, and France Source: Traveling with Pomegranates: A Mother and Daughter Journey to the Sacred Places of Greece, Turkey, and France
