“The legendary missionary journey of St. Paul, which led to the foundation of the British church, presupposes the existence of a Jewish community - always the initial object of his propaganda - even before the capture of Jerusalem by Titus in the year 70.” YearsCommunityChurchExistenceJourneyObjectsFoundationBritishPropagandaCaptureMissionaryInitialsJerusalemLegendaryJewish Community Author:Cecil Roth
“You may know the pain of possessing and dependency, reducing persons to objects, but this is not love. Love doesn't attempt to bind, ensnare, capture. It is light, free of the burden of attachments. Love asks nothing, is fulfilled in itself. When love is there, nothing remains to be done.” KnowsMayPersonsDoneLightPainAsksLove IsObjectsRemainsBurdenAttachmentCaptureFulfilledReducingPossessingDependency Author:Vimala Thakar

“Ours has been called a culture of narcissism. The label is apt but can be misleading. It reads colloquially as selfishness and self-absorption. But these images do not capture the anxiety behind our search for mirrors. We are insecure in our understanding of ourselves, and this insecurity breeds a new preoccupation with the question of who we are. We search for ways to see ourselves. The computer is a new mirror, the first psychological machine. Beyond its nature as an analytical engine lies its second nature as an evocative object.” WayFirstsHas BeensSelfLyingCultureUnderstandingBehindsObjectsAnxietyComputerMachinesMirrorsPsychologicalLabelsSelfishnessWho We AreInsecurityCaptureEnginesNarcissismInsecureMisleadPreoccupationAbsorptionSelf Absorption Book:The Second Self: Computers and the Human Spirit Source: The Second Self: Computers and the Human Spirit
“I've come to realize that I'm a image maker, not an object maker. Images come to me as photographs because I don't have any other way of express them. I have to translate everything into still or moving pictures. I've learned that reality is not important to me. In the end it is the representation of reality that I'm striving to capture.” WayStillsImportantEndsRealityMovingRealizingObjectsStrivePhotographI've LearnedMakersCaptureTranslateRepresentation Author:Gerardo Suter
