“Small groups have always been the locus of change. What they do, in a sometimes offhand way, is constellate new cultural forms and give birth to the unexpected. Sometimes the talk is the thing, sometimes the feeling. When we risk talking about something we really care about it's infectious. Like any good infection, such talk can produce heat, a fever of intellectual excitement.” WayGivingSometimesFeelingsCareFormTalkingRiskGroupsProduceBirthIntellectualExcitementHeatUnexpectedFeverInfectionSmall Groups Author:Stephanie Mills
“Religion is a self-conferred intellectual decision; it's not something you get at birth and is unchangeable. You're collusive with the religion when you accept it; you have a choice.” SelfChoicesDecisionAcceptingBirthIntellectualUnchangeable Author:George Carlin
“Before the birth of the New Woman the country was not an intellectual desert, as she is apt to suppose. There were teachers of thehighest grade, and libraries, and countless circles in our towns and villages of scholarly, leisurely folk, who loved books, and music, and Nature, and lived much apart with them. The mad craze for money, which clutches at our souls to-day as la grippe does at our bodies, was hardly known then.” DoeBookSoulCountryBodyCultureMoneyKnownTeacherBirthIntellectualTownsMadLibraryFolksCirclesDesertGradesVillageClutchScholarlyOur TownCrazeBooks And Music Author:Rebecca Harding Davis

“We impose our modern worldview on the Bible to make it conform to our intellectual happy place. But we deceive ourselves into thinking this works or is legitimate. We fail to realize that the supernatural things we want to avoid are no more supernatural (or "weird") than the things that define the Christian faith. What's so "normal" about the virgin birth, the Trinity, the deity of Christ, the bodily resurrection of Christ, the hypostatic union of the incarnation (Jesus was 100% God and 100% man)?” ThinkingMenChristianJesusChristRealizingFailingModernBirthIntellectualResurrectionDeceivingConformWorldviewIncarnationChristian FaithHappy Place Author:Michael S.

“Three sorts of goods, Aristotle specified, contribute to happiness: goods of the soul, including moral and intellectual virtues and education; bodily goods, such as strength, good health, beauty, and sound senses; and external goods, such as wealth, friends, good birth, good children, good heredity, good reputation and the like.” ChildrenSoulHappinessThreeSoundWealthMoralVirtueBirthIntellectualIncludingSensesReputationGoodsGood HealthHeredityGood ReputationHealth Beauty Author:Sissela Bok
