“For him who is perfect in love and has reached the summit of dispassion there is no difference between his own or another's, or between Christians and unbelievers, or between slave and free, or between male and female. But because he has risen above the tyranny of the passions and has fixed his attention on the single nature of man, he looks on all in the same way and shows the same disposition to all. For in him there is neither Greek nor Jew, male nor female, bond not free, but Christ who 'is all, and in all' (Col. 3:11; cf. Gal. 3:28).” MenWayLooksShowsChristianPassionChristDifferencesPerfectAttentionFemaleSlaveMalesJewTyrannyGreekFixedOrthodoxDispositionSummitOrthodox ChristianRisenNature Of ManCfsUnbelieversGalsHe Has Risen Author:Maximus the Confessor
“There is a large difference between spacing out in the lower occult astral planes, weird, junky, fuzzy energy, and meditation.

“There are no moderate Republicans left, with the exception of a few who would vote with us when it doesn’t make any difference,” Frank said. “It’s the most rigid ideological party since before the Civil War. … The bumper sticker I’m going to have printed up for Democrats this year is, ‘We’re not perfect, but they’re nuts.’” YearsWarLeftDifferencesPerfectPartyRepublicanVoteDemocratCivil WarExceptionNutsModeratesPrintedIdeologicalNot PerfectBumperStickerBumper Sticker Author:Barney Frank
“Confidence: It's the difference between the girl with the perfect body in a one-piece bathing suit, pulling at it and thinking she's not thin enough or doesn't have big enough boobs - and the girl who people call a bit overweight, but meanwhile, she's wearing a bikini and guys are saying, "God, she's sexy." It all has to do with how you feel about yourself - it's about projecting the attitude, I'm OK with who I am.” PeopleThinkingFeelsEnoughBodyBigsGuyGirlBitsDifferencesPerfectAttitudePiecesSexyWho I AmSuitsAbout YourselfPullingHow You FeelOverweightOne PieceBathingBikinisBathing Suits Author:Jennifer Lopez
“Disrespect also can take the form of idealizing you and putting you on a pedestal as a perfect woman or goddess, perhaps treating you like a piece of fine china. The man who worships you in this way is not seeing you; he is seeing his fantasy, and when you fail to live up to that image he may turn nasty. So there may not be much difference between the man who talks down to you and the one who elevates you; both are displaying a failure to respect you as a real human being and bode ill.” MenWayHumansMayRealFormTurnsDifferencesHuman BeingsPerfectFantasyPiecesFailingSeeingHe ManFineWorshipIllChinaGoddessNastyDisrespectPedestalReal HumanPerfect WomanWorship YouFine China Author:Lundy Bancroft
“The perfect way is only difficult for those who pick and choose. Do not like, do not dislike; all will then be clear. Make a hairbreadth difference and heaven and earth are set apart; if you want the truth to stand clear before you, never be for or against.

“Sinclair Lewis is the perfect example of the false sense of time of the newspaper world.... [ellipsis in source] He was always dominated by an artificial time when he wrote Main Street.... He did not create actual human beings at any time. That is what makes it newspaper. Sinclair Lewis is the typical newspaperman and everything he says is newspaper.
