“It is more raw and unfettered and I'm more likely going into something you could call extreme cartooning. There's a lot of that in the course of 'Holy Terror.' There are interludes where there are pictures - cartoon pictures - of modern figures and they are all wordless. It's up to readers to put the words in.” CoursesModernFiguresReaderHolyTerrorExtremesCartoon Author:Frank Miller
“The Ancients, having taken into consideration the rigorous construction of the human body, elaborated all their works, as especially their holy temples, according to these proportions; for they found here the two principal figures without which no project is possible: the perfection of the circle, the principle of all regular bodies, and the equilateral square.” HumansTwoBodyFoundPrinciplesTakenFiguresHolyProjectsPerfectionCirclesProportionConsiderationTemplesSquaresConstructionPrincipalHuman Body Author:Luca Pacioli
“This it is that gives a majesty so pure and touching to the historic figure of Christ; self-abandonment to God, uttermost surrender, without reserve or stipulation, to the guidance of the Holy Spirit from the Soul of souls; pause in no darkness; hesitation in no perplexity, recoil in no extremity of anguish, but a gentle unfaltering hold of the invisible Hand, of the Only Holy and All Good--these are the features that have made Jesus of Nazareth the dearest and most sacred image to the heart of so many ages.” GivingHeartMadeSoulSelfHandsAgeSpiritJesusChristDarknessFiguresHolyPureSacredSurrenderInvisibleGentleFeaturesGuidanceHoly SpiritTouchingReservesPausesAnguishHistoricMajestyAbandonmentHesitationExtremityPerplexityRecoilNazarethInvisible HandStipulations Book:A Martineau year book: Extracts from sermons Source: A Martineau year book: Extracts from sermons

“I was taken in the Spirit to the burning bush on Mount Horeb, Moses' "first ascension," and allowed to witness the encounter he had with the Lord there. Throughout the visitation, I was enabled to know and feel the thoughts and emotions of Moses' inner being. ... There was a Holy Narrator beside me who helped me understand what I saw and heard, and he made references to relevant passages of Scripture. There were other Biblical figures also present - Joshua, Samuel, David, and even the Lord Jesus were there.” KnowsFeelsFirstsMadeSpiritJesusEmotionLordTakenSawsHeardFiguresHolyScriptureWitnessBurningEncountersPassagesRelevantBiblicalMosesBeing ThereNarratorsAscensionThoughts And EmotionsVisitationBurning Bush Author:Bob Hartley
“Elderly people are like plants. Whereas some go to seed, or to pot, others blossom in the most wonderful ways. I believe beauty competitions should be held only for people over seventy years of age. When we are young, we have the face and figure God gave us. We did nothing to earn our good looks. But as we get older, character becomes etched on our face. Beautiful old people are works of art. Like a white candle in a holy place, so it the beauty of an aged face.” PeopleWayShouldYearsBelieveLooksArtCharacterAgeBeautifulFacesYoungI BelieveWhiteWonderfulFiguresHolyCompetitionAgingPlantSeedsWorks Of ArtPotCandleSeventiesLooking GoodOld PeopleElderlyHoly Places Author:James Simpson
“The historian Arthur Schlesinger has pointed out that people tend to get interested in politics again every 30 years. The universe moves in cycles of three. The number figures in everything from Pythagoras's theory that the universe is based on three to the Father-the-Son-and-the-Holy- Ghost to the three-sided pyramidal shapes that intersect in the Jewish Star of David. The notion of the mystical three, metaphysically, spiritually, and even politically, is quite interesting to me.” PeopleYearsMovingUniverseThreeFatherStarsInterestingNumbersFiguresSonTheoryHolyShapesNotionGhostCyclesHistorianMysticalHoly GhostArthur Author:Marianne Williamson
“I've already written a section in the annual report for next year explaining why I think in one case that the figures on our balance sheet as calculated are wrong. But it's the standard way of doing it. It's holy writ.

“"Both Christianity and Islam are logocentric," he told his students, "meaning they are focused on the Word. In Christian tradition, the Word became flesh in the book of John: 'And the Word was made flesh, and He dwelt among us. 'Therefore, it was acceptable to depict the Word as having a human form. In Islamic tradition, however, the Word did not become flesh, and therefore the Word needs to remain in the form of a word … in most cases, calligraphic renderings of the names of the holy figures of Islam."” NeedsHumansMadeBookChristianFormNamesChristianityCasesFiguresStudentsHolyTraditionIslamFocusedFleshIslamicAcceptableRenderingHuman FormChristianity And Islam Author:Dan Brown
