“Stars looking at our planet, watching entropy and pain and maybe startin' to wonder how the chaos in our lives could pass as sane. I've been thinkin' 'bout the meaning of resistance of a world beyond our own and suddenly the infinite and penitent began to look like home.” WorldLooksHomePainStarsWonderOur LivesPlanetsInfiniteChaosResistanceSaneOur PlanetEntropy Author:Jon Foreman

“The true value of the Christian religion rests, not upon speculative views of the Creator, which must necessarily be different in each individual, according to the extent of the knowledge of the finite being, who employs his own feeble powers in contemplating the infinite: but it rests upon those doctrines of kindness and benevolence which that religion claims and enforces, not merely in favour of man himself but of every creature susceptible of pain or of happiness.” MenDifferentChristianPainValuesIndividualViewsKindnessCreaturesClaimsInfiniteCreatorDoctrineContemplatingFavourFiniteBenevolenceSusceptibleTrue Value Author:Charles Babbage

“While it is undeniable that many have been driven to immorality and crime by the need to survive, it is equally evident that the possession of a significant surplus of material goods has never been a guarantee against covetousness, rapacity and the infinite variety of vice and pain which spring from such passions. Indeed, it could be argued that the unrelenting compulsion of those who already have much to acquire even more has generated greater injustice, immorality and wretchedness than the cumulative effect of the struggles of the severely underprivileged to better their lot.” NeedsHas BeensPainPassionPoorStruggleRichGreaterEffectsCrimeMaterialsSpringInfiniteInjusticeVicesPossessionDrivenSignificantVarietyAcquireGuaranteesGoodsEvidentCompulsionRich And PoorImmoralitySurplusCovetousnessWretchednessCumulativeUnrelentingUnderprivileged Author:Aung San Suu Kyi
“I confess to feeling continued ambivalence about political life, aware of its shortcomings and disappointments, but drawn back to it again and again because of its infinite promise. Justice can triumph, wrongs can be righted, and pain can be alleviated, if the right fix is found. The optimistic illusion that one can change the world is difficult to resist, especially when from time to time that illusion is sustained by even a hint of reality. Change does happen in the political process.” IfsWorldDoeFeelingsRealityHappensPainPoliticalFoundPoliticsProcessDifficultJusticePromiseIllusionInfiniteDisappointmentOptimisticTriumphChanging The WorldAgain And AgainHintsShortcomingsPolitical LifeAmbivalence Author:Madeleine M.
