“Disguise is central to God's way of dealing with us human beings. Not because God is playing games with us but because the God who is beyond our knowing makes himself known in the disguise of what we can know. The Christian word for this is revelation, and the ultimate revelation came by incarnation. ... God is the master of disguises, in order that we might see.” KnowsWayHumansMightChristianOrderGamesHuman BeingsKnownKnowingSeeingMastersUltimateInvisibleVisibleRevelationsDisguiseIncarnationPlaying Games Author:Richard John Neuhaus
“What, concretely, is Enlightenment ?" "Seeing Reality as it is," said the Master. "Doesn't everyone see Reality as it is?" "Oh, no! Most people see it as they think it is." "What's the difference?" "The difference between thinking you are drowning in a stormy sea and knowing you cannot drown because there isn't any water in sight for miles around.” PeopleThinkingSaidRealityWaterDifferencesKnowingSeeingSeaMastersEnlightenmentSightMilesDrowningStormyStormy Seas Author:Anthony de Mello
“Theater roles are written by the great masters. The greatest literature that you can possibly know are the theater roles like King Lear, Hamlet, and all of those great roles. So all you do is you dive into these unchallenged roles and see how far you can get, what kind of accolades you can get, and how good you can be in them. In movie roles, you can actually improve them by knowing a lot about your own stage technique, which helps a great deal in the cinema and how you can project inner humor even though the particular dialogue is not necessarily funny, but you can infuse it with humor.” KnowsKindHelpingLiteratureDealsRolesKnowingWrittenStageParticularMastersKingsProjectsTheaterTechniqueDialogueCinemaLearAccolades Author:Christopher Plummer
“One day, I started writing, not knowing that I had chained myself for life to a noble but merciless master. When God hands you a gift, he also hands you a whip; and the whip is intended solely for self-flagellation... I'm here alone in my dark madness, all by myself with my deck of cards - and, of course, the whip God gave me.” WritingSelfHandsCoursesDarkKnowingMastersOne DayMadnessNobleCardsNot KnowingWhipsDeckChainedDeck Of Cards Author:Truman Capote
“I had a massive heart attack, and in my belief that I was close to dying, I took the opportunity to teach my son about death. That lesson increased his faith in such a way that he completely accepted all the changes that life brings us. He learned that only the present exists. From that moment on, he began living in the present time, knowing that the future is just a possibility, and without believing all the opinions from the past. He understood that there are no guides, or masters. Each one of us is our own guru, and we can only save ourselves.” WayBelieveHeartMomentsPastOpportunityBeliefOpinionTeachKnowingDyingPossibilitySonMastersLessonsUnderstoodGuidesAcceptedMassiveThat MomentMy SonGuruLive In The PresentPresent TimeHeart Attack Author:Miguel Angel Ruiz
“I love the competitive aspect of it [business]. It's like playing chess. Why do people play chess? Knowing the realm of moves? Even when you get to be a chess master, there are other chess masters you want to beat or outperform. And to me business is just a sport that I love to compete in; a continuous intellectual challenge that really motivates me.” PeopleWantPlayMovingSportsChallengesKnowingMastersIntellectualBeatsAspectChessRealmsPlaying Chess Author:Mark Cuban
