“I wonder why men can get serious at all. They have this delicate long thing hanging outside their bodies, which goes up and down by its own will. First of all, having it outside your body is terribly dangerous. If I were a man I would have a fantastic castration complex to the point that I wouldn't be able to do a thing. Second, the inconsistency of it, like carrying a chance time alarm or something. If I were a man I would always be laughing at myself.” IfsMenFirstsLongBodyAbleChanceWonderLaughingDangerousSeriousComplexesYour BodyFantasticHanging OutDelicateUp And DownAlarmsInconsistencyWhy MeCastration Book:Grapefruit: A Book of Instructions and Drawings by Yoko Ono Source: Grapefruit: A Book of Instructions and Drawings by Yoko Ono
“Louis [Leakey] was anxious to initiate a scientific study of these chimpanzees. It would be difficult, he emphasized, for nothing was known; there were no guidelines for such a field study; and the habitat was remote and rugged. Dangerous wild animals would be living there, and chimpanzees themselves were considered at least four times stronger than humans. I remember wondering what kind of scientist he would find for such a herculean task.” HumansKindWould BeRememberScienceDifficultAnimalKnownWonderStudyFourDangerousFieldsTasksScientistStrongerIronyAnxiousInitiateHabitatWild AnimalChimpanzeesGuidelinesRugged Author:Jane Goodall
“We live in a church culture that has a dangerous tendency to disconnect the grace of God from the glory of God. Our hearts resonate with the idea of enjoying God's grace. We bask in sermons, conferences, and books that exalt a grace centering on us. And while the wonder of grace is worthy of our attention, if that grace is disconnected from its purpose, the sad result is a self-centered Christianity that bypasses the heart of God.” IfsHeartBookIdeasSelfPurposeCultureEnjoyChurchResultsAttentionWonderChristianityGraceDangerousGloryWorthyTendenciesSermonsConferencesGrace Of GodSelf CenteredGlory Of GodGod's GraceDisconnectedBypassCentering Author:David Platt
“I do think prayer is powerful and it is not to be diminished.

“What historians will definitely wonder about in future centuries is how deeply flawed logic, obscured by shrewd and unrelenting propaganda, actually enabled a coalition of powerful special interests to convince nearly everyone in the world that CO2 from human industry was a dangerous, planet-destroying toxin. It will be remembered as the greatest mass delusion in the history of the world - that CO2, the life of plants, was considered for a time to be a deadly poison.” WorldHumansInterestPowerfulWonderSpecialCenturyDangerousPlanetsIndustryMassLogicPlantRememberedPropagandaPoisonConvinceDelusionHistorianDestroyingWorld HistoryFlawedCoalitionsSpecial InterestsCo2ToxinsUnrelenting Author:Richard Lindzen
“I don't pay much attention to how the plays relate thematically to each other. I think that's very dangerous to do, because in the theater one is self-conscious enough without planning ahead or wondering about the thematic relation from one play to the next. One hopes that one is developing, and writing interestingly, and that's where it should end, I think.” ThinkingShouldWritingEndsSelfEnoughPlayNextPayAttentionWonderDangerousConsciousRelationTheaterPlanningDevelopingRelateSelf ConsciousThe Next OneThematicPlanning Ahead Book:Conversations with Edward Albee Source: Conversations with Edward Albee
“Yes, we know more than ever before, and it's a wonder that we get to inhabit a world full of driverless cars and 3D printers. But that doesn't mean that we know any more about the essential things in life - love, faith, death - and it would be dangerous to assume we did. The only thing that gets us through sometimes is a proper, humbled sense that we don't have a clue, we can't be sure what's going to happen next and life will always be much larger than our ideas of it.” KnowsWorldMeanIdeasSometimesHappensWould BeNextWonderDangerousCarEssentialsAssumingLove LifeThings In LifeCluePrinterFaith In Love Author:Pico Iyer
“Beauty can be as dangerous as evil can be beautiful. But that is just another aspect of the double edge of non-moral values. Both beauty and friends can be dangerous.
