“I felt strange in my own family, because I had a very liberal mind, and I would ask myself, "Why is there this discrimination between men and women?" In our culture, the man should be outside and the woman should be at home. I wanted to study, or meet my friends, and I couldn't. And I felt very different.” MenShouldMindDifferentHomeWantedCultureAsksFeltMy OwnStudyStrangeHe ManMen And WomenMy FriendsDiscrimination Author:Malina Suliman
“It seemed a strange thing to him, when earth was earth and rain was rain, that scrawny pines should grow in the scrub, while by every branch and lake and river there grew magnolias. Dogs were the same everywhere, and oxen and mules and horses.

“Love is a strange emotion. It is ever evolving. Lust is transient. With time, one realizes that love and togetherness are two different things.

“Honest rejection of Christ, however mistaken, will be forgiven and healed ... but to evade the Son of Man, to look the other way, to pretend you haven't noticed, to become suddenly absorbed in something on the other side of the street, to leave the receiver off the telephone because it might be He who was ringing up, to leave unopened certain letters in a strange handwriting because they might be from Him -- this is a different matter. You may not be certain yet whether you ought to be a Christian; but you do know you ought to be a Man, not an ostrich, hiding its head in the sand.” KnowsMenWayLooksMayDifferentMatterMightChristianCertainSidesChristStreetsHonestHavensStrangeSonOughtLettersRejectionSandHidingMistakenForgivenTelephonesBe A ManHealedReceiverHandwritingOstriches Author:C.

“Philosophy, beginning in wonder, as Plato and Aristotle said, is able to fancy everything different from what it is. It sees the familiar as if it were strange, and the strange as if it were familiar. It can take things up and lay them down again. It rouses us from our native dogmatic slumber and breaks up our caked prejudices.” IfsSaidDifferentPhilosophyAbleWonderBreakStrangePrejudiceLaysFamiliarFancyNativePlatoSlumberDogmaticPlato And Aristotle Book:William James: Essays and Lectures Source: William James: Essays and Lectures
“The strange and wonderful Book of Job treats of the same subject as we are discussing; its contents are a fiction, conceived for the purpose of explaining the different opinions which people hold on Divine Providence. ...This fiction, however, is in so far different from other fictions that it includes profound ideas and great mysteries, removes great doubts, and reveals the most important truths. I will discuss it as fully as possible; and I will also tell you the words of our Sages that suggested to me the explanation of this great poem.” PeopleImportantBookIdeasDifferentJobsPurposeFictionOpinionDoubtWonderfulMysterySubjectsDivineStrangeTreatsProfoundExplanationRemoveProvidenceSageExplainingDiscussingDivine ProvidenceDifferent Opinions Author:Maimonides
“Well, method is, it seems to me, a natural growth out of a need, and from a need the modern artist has found new ways of expressing the world about him. I happen to find ways that are different from the usual techniques, which seems a little strange at the moment, but I don't think there's anything very different about it. I paint on the floor and this isn't unusual - the Orientals did that.” ThinkingWorldWayNeedsWellsLittlesDifferentMomentsSeemsHappensArtistFoundGrowthNaturalModernStrangeMethodPaintTechniqueUnusualUsualNew WaysModern Art Author:Jackson Pollock
