“But so many Christians are like deaf people at a concert. They study the programme carefully, believe every statement make in it, speak respectfully of the quality of the music, but only really hear a phrase now and again. So they have no notion at all of the mighty symphony which fills the universe, to which our lives are destined to make their tiny contribution, and which is the self-expression of the Eternal God.” PeopleBelieveSelfChristianUniverseSpeakQualityChristianityStudyOur LivesExpressionEternalNotionTinyStatementsPhrasesContributionConcertsDestinedDeafSymphonySelf ExpressionProgrammes Book:Advent with Evelyn Underhill Source: Advent with Evelyn Underhill
“Nature is impersonal, awe-inspiring, elegant, eternal. It's geometrically perfect. It's tiny and gigantic.

And we are.” HumansRaceConsciousnessEternalUniqueAspectTinyHuman RaceConformityControlledInfinityMentalityHerdsUniformityHerd Mentality Author:David Icke
“After all, is it not the way we humans shape the universe, shape time itself? Do we not take the raw stuff of chaos and impose a beginning, middle, and end on it, like the simplest and most profound of folktales, to reflect the shapes of our own tiny lives? And if the physicists are right, that the physical world changes as it is observed, and we are its only known observers, then might we not be bending the entire chaotic universe, the eternal, ever-active Now, to fit that familiar form?” IfsWorldWayHumansEndsMightFormUniverseStuffKnownMiddleFitShapesEternalProfoundChaosActiveTinyFamiliarSimplestObserversPhysicistChaoticBendingBeginning Middle And EndFolktales Book:Otherland 4: Sea of Silver Light Source: Otherland 4: Sea of Silver Light
“Time again for the waltz of smiles. Amazing how you sometimes make resolutions, tell yourself everything will be a certain way from now on, and then all it takes is a tiny movement of the lips to shatter your confidence in a certainty that seemed eternal.” WaySometimesCertainMovementEternalLipsTinyCertaintyResolutionWaltz Author:David Foenkinos
“A tiny group of believers who have the gospel keep mumbling it over and over to themselves.
