“God wanted man to know him somehow through his creatures, and since no creature could fittingly reflect the infinite perfection of the Creator, he multiplied his creatures and gave a certain goodness and perfection to each of them so that from them we could judge the goodness and perfection of the Creator, who embraces infinite perfection in the perfection of his one and utterly simple essence.” KnowsMenWantedCertainSimpleAnimalJudgingCreaturesGoodnessPerfectionEssenceInfiniteEmbraceCreator Author:Robert Bellarmine
“Soul, to me, means “embodied essence,” when we experience ourselves and others in our full humanity - part animal, part divine. Healing comes through embodiment of the soul. The soul in matter is what I think the feminine side of God is all about... The feminine soul is what grounds us; it loves and accepts us in our totality.” ThinkingMeanSoulMatterHumanitySidesAnimalHealingAcceptingDivineEssenceFeminineTotalityEmbodimentDivine Healing Author:Marion Woodman
“I confess that my stomach does not take to this style of cooking. I cannot accept calves sweetbreads swimming in a salty sauce, nor can I eat mince consisting of turkey, hare, and rabbit, which they try to persuade me comes from a single animal... As for the cooks, I really cannot be expected to put up with this ham essence, nor the excessive quantity of morels and other mushrooms, pepper, and nutmeg with which they disguise perfectly good food.” TryingDoeAnimalAcceptingStyleEssenceCookingExpectedCooksStomachSwimmingQuantityDisguiseTurkeysRabbitsSauceMushroomsHamGood FoodPeppersHaresCalvesSaltyPerfectly Good Author:Voltaire
“Film is very much about capturing the essence of things - if you feel it, and you've got the right person shooting it, it'll come across. Theater's a different animal; it's physically different and requires a different discipline. In the theater, you're mining the same material, constantly honing the same thing, executing it and keeping it alive and fresh.” IfsFeelsPersonsDifferentFilmAnimalAliveMaterialsDisciplineEssenceTheaterShootingRight PersonMiningExecutingDifferent AnimalsHoning Author:Clive Owen
