“I think there is no work of art which represents the spirit of a nation more surely than "Die Meister Singer" of Richard Wagner. Here is no plaything with local colour, but the raising to its highest power all that is best in the national consciousness of his country.” ThinkingArtCountrySpiritDiesNationsConsciousnessHighestSingersLocalsColourWorks Of ArtWagner Author:Ralph Vaughan Williams
“Divine love, agape, is self-sacrificing love, which sounds difficult, as it is, and not very attractive. If the best image we have of love is of a man who's been tortured and hung upon a cross to die an excruciating death, this is something that human beings find very, very hard to understand as love. But it is the highest Christian image of love.” IfsMenHumansSelfHardChristianDiesDifficultSoundHuman BeingsLove IsSacrificeDivineHighestCrossesAttractiveHungDivine LoveAgapeImages Of Love Author:Kevin Hart
“There are some things in the world we can't change- gravity, entropy, the speed of light, and our biological nature that requires clean air, clean water, clean soil, clean energy and biodiversity for our health and well-being. Protecting the biosphere should be our highest priority or else we sicken and die. Other things, like capitalism, free enterprise, the economy, currency, the market, are not forces of nature, we invented them. They are not immutable and we can change them. It makes no sense to elevate economics above the biosphere.” WorldShouldWellsLightDiesEnergyForceWaterEconomyAirHighestCapitalismEconomicsCleanSpeedPrioritiesWell BeingSoilEnterpriseGravityCurrencyCan't ChangeEnvironmentalistFree EnterpriseBiodiversityEntropyForces Of NatureClean EnergyClean WaterSpeed Of LightBiosphereClean Air Author:David Suzuki
