“Faith in the continuance and enhancement of the intrinsic values--faith in truth, in beauty, in friendship, in love and harmony of life--in short, faith in reason and the worth of spiritual life--such faith is only another name for faith in the persistence of spiritual individuality. For, I repeat, these values are real only as functions of personal experience and deed. To have faith in the permanence of intrinsic values is to assume the enduring reality of selves who know truth, feel beauty, who love and win spiritual harmony.” KnowsFeelsRealSelfReasonRealitySpiritualValuesWinningNamesFunctionHarmonyAssumingEndureIndividualityDeedsPersistenceRepeatsHave FaithSpiritual LifePersonal ExperiencesPermanenceIntrinsic ValueEnhancementContinuance Author:Joseph Alexander Leighton
“the patriarchal family, with its division of functions between a providing and protective father and a home-making, submissive mother, however satisfactory it may have been in its time, has outlived its day.

“In this rigged, two-party system, third parties almost never win a national election. It's obvious what our function is in this constricted oligarchy of two corporate-indentured parties - to push hitherto taboo issues onto the public stage, to build for a future, to get a young generation in, keep the progressive agenda alive, push the two parties a little bit on this issue and that.” LittlesTwoYoungWinningBitsPartyIssuesAliveGenerationsStageLittle BitThirdsFunctionElectionObviousCorporateAgendasProgressiveTabooOligarchyRiggedThird PartiesYoung GenerationTwo Party System Author:Ralph Nader
“The Devil has seldom done a cleverer thing that hinting to the Church that part of their mission is to provide entertainment for the people, with a view to winning them. Providing amusement for the people is nowhere spoken of in the Scriptures as a function of the Church.

“It win be a device that will permit communication without any time interval between two points in space. The device will not transmit messages, of course; simultaneity is identity. But to our perceptions, that simultaneity will function as a transmission, a sending. So we will be able to use it to talk between worlds, without the long waiting for the message to go and the reply to return that electromagnetic impulses require. It is really a very simple matter. Like a kind of telephone.” WorldKindLongTwoMatterUseAbleCoursesWinningWaitingSimpleSpaceIdentityCommunicationReturnPerceptionMessagesFunctionImpulseDevicesPermitTelephonesIntervalsTransmitTransmission Author:Ursula K.
