Seekers Quotes - Page 7

• Oh, ants, my sisters, good old honeydew-seekers! From close up you are sticky and shiny and gristly; and your nymphs have parasitic red mites stuck to them. You are too intent upon your chewing and gathering to listen to me, but I tell you that despite my warm feelings I really do not like you, and I cannot feel sorry for you in any way because there are too many of you and you are not cute at all. You eat too much of my forests; you are a rebellious tribe, and I will destroy you; I will poison your nests with sweet-smelling traps.

  William T. Vollmann

• I am now even more persuaded of the urgent need to study why Socrates was accused. The dislike of philosophy is perennial, and the seeds of the condemnation of Socrates are present at all times, not in the bosoms of pleasure-seekers, who don't give a damn, but in those of high-minded and idealistic persons who do not want to submit their aspirations to examination.

• Las prácticas cuaresmales de renuncia a los placeres son un buen recordatorio de que el propósito de la vida no es el placer. El propósito de la vida es alcanzar la vida perfecta, toda la verdad y el amor extático e imperecedero, que es la definición de Dios. En la búsqueda de ese objetivo encontramos la felicidad. El placer no es el propósito de nada; el placer es un subproducto resultante de hacer algo que es bueno. Una de las mejores formas de obtener felicidad y placer en la vida es preguntarnos: "¿Cómo puedo complacer a Dios?" y "¿Por qué no soy mejor?". El que busca el placer se aburre, porque todos los placeres disminuyen con la repetición.

  Fulton J. Sheen

• No, la vida no me ha decepcionado. Al contrario, cada año me parece más verdadera, más deseable y misteriosa -- desde el día en que vino a mí el gran liberador: la idea de que la vida podía ser un experimento del buscador de conocimiento -- y no un deber, no una calamidad, no una superchería.

• Lo que todo primer ministro y todo dirigente se plantea es cómo equilibrar los dos objetivos: en primer lugar, garantizar que todos los solicitantes de asilo reciban un trato generoso y humano de acuerdo con la Convención y, en segundo lugar, hacer todo lo posible para eliminar o, al menos, desalentar el tráfico de personas. Y es un equilibrio muy, muy difícil.

• Faithiest resonated with me in many ways-not only because, like Chris, I am a gay former-Christian atheist who still thinks of my religious neighbors as fellow truth-seekers-but also because I deeply appreciated the book's nuanced approach to contentious issues. This is an important contribution to current debates, one which should be read not only for its valuable content but also for its exemplary tone: warm, engaging, optimistic, and humble.

• ...we must realize that a vast majority of believers are still searching and will continue to search for the being who is the "source of human good." Those who seek with clear heads and sincere hearts will in some measure find. Of course the true seeker will realize that there is no one way to find God. To be sure, there are many possible ways of finding God.

• The indexing problem changes with each new book undertaken. To meet the needs of different classes of seekers and to suit various types of books, rules entirely satisfactory in one case must be varied in the next and perhaps ignored or even reversed for a third... Indexing is a highly complex intellectual process involving the use of language in a specific and somewhat artificial way, and that it is also to a considerable extent a matter of intuition, the workings of which cannot be reduced to fixed rules. It is 'knowing what but not knowing how'.
