“Those who know in their hearts that they are not really necessary -- and are entirely replaceable-- must inevitably be tempted to misrepresent the nature of their work and build up a false notion of its importance. A further alienation from truth takes place, a further loss of contact with reality. And one thing we can be sure of is that self-deception, whether on the level of the wind and the rain or on that of spiritual reality, must always come up against the real sooner or later, and that its destruction is very painful.” KnowsHeartRealSelfRealitySpiritualLossLevelsOne ThingWindRainDestructionImportanceNotionCome UpPainfulContactDeceptionSooner Or LaterTemptedAlienationSelf Deception Author:Charles le Gai Eaton
“One thing that definitely did calculate properly for me was the mathematics that makes sense every day, no matter how I look at it, I can't get around it.

“It's weird as actors because I mean we're fortunate in the group of people who have to spend time away from their families. There are men and women serving overseas who certainly have it a lot harder than we do, and there are jobs that take people away from the families, and that's a reality with some jobs that you have. One thing that's really difficult I find is the transition, because not only do you have to learn how to transition to living on your own again, there's a transition that happens learning how to live with somebody again.” PeopleMenMeanRealityHappensJobsActorsDifficultOne ThingGroupsMen And WomenHarderFortunateServingTransitionEnd TimesSpend TimeLiving OnTime Away Author:Chris Pratt
“I embrace technology and I just think that in 1984 when James Cameron wrote about the technology, everyone thought he was totally way out there and it was science fiction. Now it's almost reality what he talked about. The machines have taken over, except they have not become self-aware, like in Terminator. So this is really one thing that we have to watch out for, but I think technology is good.” ThinkingWaySelfRealityFictionWatchesTechnologyTakenOne ThingMachinesScience FictionEmbraceCameron Author:Arnold Schwarzenegger
“Socially, hip-hop has done more for racial camaraderie in this country than any one thing. 'Cause guys like me, my kids - everyone under 45 either grew up loving hip-hop or hating hip-hop, but everyone under 45 grew up very aware of hip-hop. So when you're a white kid and you're listening to this music and you're being exposed to it every day on MTV, black people become less frightening. This is just a reality.

“One thing is certain: the humility of faith, if it is followed by the proper consequences-by the acceptance of the work and sacrifice demanded by our providential task-will do far more to launch us into the full current of historical reality than the pompous rationalizations of politicians who think they are somehow the directors and manipulators of history.” IfsThinkingRealityCertainOne ThingSacrificeAcceptanceHumilityPoliticianDirectorsConsequenceTasksHistoricalCurrentsPompousManipulator Author:Thomas Merton
“If he could have his way, Satan would distract us from our heritage. He would have us become involved in a million and one things in this life-probably none of which is very important in the long run-to keep us from concentrating on the things that are really important, particularly the reality that we are God's children. He would like us to forget about home and family values. He'd like to keep us so busy with comparatively insignificant things that we don't have time to make the effort to understand where we came from, whose children we are, and how glorious our ultimate homecoming can be!” IfsWayChildrenLongImportantHomeRealityRunningValuesForgetEffortMillionsOne ThingInvolvedUltimateBusyThis LifeSatanGloriousHeritageLong RunsInsignificantConcentratingFamily ValuesHomecomingWhere We CameHome And FamilyInsignificant Things Author:Marvin J.
