“There still shines the most important nuance by virtue of which the noble felt themselves to be men of a higher rank. They designate themselves simply by their superiority in power (as "the powerful," "the masters," "the commanders") or by the most clearly visible signs of this superiority, for example, as "the rich," "the possessors" (this is the meaning of 'Arya,' and of corresponding words in Iranian and Slavic).” MenStillsImportantFeltPowerfulVirtueRichExampleMastersHigherShiningNobleVisibleSuperiorityBe A ManCommandersNuanceIranianCorresponding Author:Friedrich Nietzsche
“Many contemporary painters feel that their landscapes come from within and are brought to the surface and given form as a result of various stimuli. The artist's internal world is waiting to be evoked by whatever means the artist finds most productive, and... this world is just as important as the outer, visible world.” WorldFeelsMeanImportantFormArtistGivenWaitingResultsThis WorldPaintingVariousSurfaceContemporaryPainterLandscapeVisibleProductiveInternalsStimulus Author:Edward Betts
“What is important to me in my work is the identity that is hidden behind so-called reality.

“We must be ready to allow ourselves to be interrupted by God, who will thwart our plans and frustrate our ways time and again, even daily, by sending people across our path with their demands and requests. We can, then, pass them by, preoccupied with our important daily tasks, just as the priest-perhaps reading the Bible-passed by the man who had fallen among robbers. When we do that, we pass by the visible sign of the Cross raised in our lives to show us that God’s way, and not our own, is what counts.” PeopleMenWayImportantShowsReadingPathOur LivesPlansHe ManReadyDemandCrossesTasksRaisedFallenVisiblePriestsRequestInterruptedRobbersReading The BibleDaily Tasks Book:Life Together: Prayerbook of the Bible Source: Life Together: Prayerbook of the Bible
