“Among all the many great transitions that have marked the evolution of Western civilisation ... there has been only one-the triumph of Christianity -that can be called in the fullest sense a "revolution": a truly massive and epochal revision of humanity's prevailing vision of reality, so pervasive in its influence and so vast in its consequences as to actually have created a new conception of the world, of history, of human nature, of time, and of the moral good.” WorldHumansHas BeensRealityHumanityMoralChristianityVisionInfluenceHuman NatureRevolutionEvolutionConsequenceWesternTriumphMassiveConceptionTransitionCivilisationPrevailingRevision Author:David Bentley Hart
“The connectedness of things is what the educator contemplates to the limit of his capacity. No human capacity is great enough to permit a vision of the world as simple, but if the educator does not aim at the vision no one else will, and the consequences are dire when no one does.” IfsWorldHumansDoeEnoughSimpleVisionTeachingLimitsConsequenceCapacityAimPermitContemplatingEducatorConnectednessHuman Capacity Author:Mark Van Doren
“If you want to survive in the film industry, it's not about fighting for your visions because that's a given. It's thinking about how much is your vision going to cost, and then, what are the consequences, because you may have $100 million, but the reality is that $100 million needs to make $500 million to be a success.” IfsThinkingWantNeedsMayRealityFilmFightingGivenVisionMillionsIndustryCostConsequenceFilm Industry Author:Cliff Martinez
“The greatest danger to the liberal vision are facts about the consequences of liberalism itself and the laws, policies, and ways of life that the left has spawned.

“There is nothing superstitious about forcing bad consequences for the hubris of paternalistic utopianism. Humanity should never be frozen into a vision of the best.

“People are offering competing visions of what happened in the past. And the justice system is willing to accept either of those competing visions and to impose consequences as a result. When you think of it that way, it's a little bit startling, because we want to believe that there is one truth and, therefore, one justice, whereas, if you have practiced law as long as I have, you realize that there is actually a range of acceptable outcomes.” PeopleThinkingBelieveLongPastRealizingJusticeAcceptingVisionConsequenceCompetingJustice System Author:Scott Turow
