“There is a greater Christian faith than one which settles for the temporal happiness, and that is the augmentation of faith. The more faithful you become, the harder the obstacles get; but the harder the obstacles get, the tougher your spine grows; and the tougher your spine grows, the less dependent you are on man's approval. I came to know this about Christianity when valuing faith before comfort.” KnowsMenChristianGrowsChristianityGreaterComfortHarderObstaclesSettlingFaithfulDependentApprovalSpineChristian Faith Book:Killosophy Source: Killosophy
“A woman doesn't just love a man. She loves who he is. And, who he is is dependent on what he needs.” MenNeedsDependent Author:James MacArthur
“No man is an island- he is a holon. A Janus-faced entity who, looking inward, sees himself as a self-contained unique whole, looking outward as a dependent part. His self-assertive tendency is the dynamic manifestation of his unique wholeness, his autonomy and independence as a holon. Its equally universal antagonist, the integrative tendency, expresses his dependence on the larger whole to which he belongs: his 'part-ness.'.” MenSelfWholeUniqueUniversalIndependenceTendenciesManifestationIslandsDependentEntityInwardWholenessDependenceAutonomyAssertiveAntagonistSelf ContainedJanus Author:Arthur Koestler
“Modern man lives isolated in his artificial environment, not because the artificial is evil as such, but because of his lack of comprehension of the forces which make it work- of the principles which relate his gadgets to the forces of nature, to the universal order. It is not central heating which makes his existence 'unnatural,' but his refusal to take an interest in the principles behind it. By being entirely dependent on science, yet closing his mind to it, he leads the life of an urban barbarian.” MenMindOrderEvilForceInterestBehindsExistencePrinciplesEnvironmentSocietyModernUniversalRelateDependentArtificialIsolatedUrbanClosingRefusalComprehensionUnnaturalBarbariansGadgetsModern ManForces Of NatureHeating Book:The Act of Creation Source: The Act of Creation
