“The thing is, I've always tried to create transcendent moments. Moments that take people away from their concerns. Heaven to me is when people find a way to become so involved with life that they're no longer concerned for the future.” PeopleWayMomentsHeavenInvolvedConcernConcernedTranscendent Author:Jim Carrey
“The world, and whatever that be which we call the heavens, by the vault of which all things are enclosed, we must conceive to be a deity, to be eternal, without bounds, neither created nor subject at any time to destruction. To inquire what is beyond it is no concern of man; nor can the human mind form any conjecture concerning it.” MenWorldMindHumansFormHeavenSubjectsEternalConcernAll ThingsDestructionBoundsHuman MindDeitiesConjectureVaults Book:Delphi Complete Works of Pliny the Elder (Illustrated) Source: Delphi Complete Works of Pliny the Elder (Illustrated)
“Eating, sleeping, cleaning - the years no longer rise up toward heaven, they lie spread out ahead, gray and identical. The battle against dust and dirt is never won. Washing, ironing, sweeping, ferreting out rolls of lint from under wardrobes - all this halting of decay is also the denial of life; for time simultaneously creates and destroys, and only its negative aspect concerns the housekeeper.” YearsLyingHeavenSleepBattleEatingConcernNegativeAspectSpreadDustDenialGrayDecayDirtCleaningIdenticalWashingWardrobeSweepingHouseworkHousekeepers Author:Simone de Beauvoir
“So too, since Christ has in principle defeated the fallen "gods" (principalities and powers) who have for ages inspired injustice, cruelty and apathy toward the weak, the poor the oppressed and the needy (Ps. 82), the church can hardly carry out its role in manifesting, on earth and in heaven, Christ's victory over these gods without taking up as a central part of its missions just these causes. We can, in truth, no more bifurcate social concerns and individual salvation than we can bifurcate the cosmic and anthropocentric dimensions of Christ's work on the cross.” AgeEarthIndividualHeavenSocialCausesChristChurchPoorPrinciplesRolesVictoryConcernCrossesWeakSalvationInspiredInjusticeMissionsCrueltyFallenDimensionsManifestCosmicApathyDefeatedOppressedNeedy Book:God at War: The Bible & Spiritual Conflict Source: God at War: The Bible & Spiritual Conflict
