“With just one polka dot, nothing can be achieved. In the universe, there is the sun, the moon, the earth, and hundreds of millions of stars. All of us live in the unfathomable mystery and infinitude of the universe. Pursuing philosophy of the universe through art under such circumstances has led me to what I call stereotypical repetition.” ArtPhilosophyEarthUniverseStarsMillionsSunMysteryCircumstancesMoonJust OneRepetitionDotsUnfathomablePolkaPolka Dots Author:Yayoi Kusama
“Nothing, indeed, could be more unlike the tone of the [Patristic] Fathers, than the cold, passionless, and prudential theology of the eighteenth century; a theology which regarded Christianity as an admirable auxiliary to the police force, and a principle of decorum and of cohesion in society, but which carefully banished from it all enthusiasm, veiled or attenuated all its mysteries, and virtually reduced it to an authoritative system of moral philosophy.” PhilosophyFatherForceMoralChristianityPrinciplesMysteryAtheismCenturyColdPolicePositive AtheismTheologyEnthusiasmToneAdmirableCohesionMoral PhilosophyDecorumPolice Force Author:William Edward Hartpole Lecky

“my belief in the sacrament of the Eucharist is simple: without touch, God is a monologue, an idea, a philosophy; he must touch and be touched, the tongue on flesh, and that touch is the result of the monologues, the idea, the philosophies which led to faith; but in the instant of the touch there is no place for thinking, for talking; the silent touch affirms all that, and goes deeper: it affirms the mysteries of love and mortality.” ThinkingIdeasPhilosophyBeliefSimpleResultsTalkingMysterySilentDeeperTongueFleshInstantTouchedMortalitySacramentsEucharistMonologuesMystery Of Love Book:Broken Vessels: Essays Source: Broken Vessels: Essays
