Quotes About World

For many decades now - and certainly during my adult life in academe - the Western intellectual world has not been convinced that theology is a pursuit that can be engaged in with intellectual honesty and integrity.
~ Arthur Peacocke
God is creating at every moment of the world's existence in and through the perpetually endowed creativity of the very stuff of the world.
~ Arthur Peacocke
these poets here, you see, they are not of this world:let them live their strange life; let them be cold and hungry, let them run, love and sing: they are as rich as Jacques Coeur, all these silly children, for they have their souls full of rhymes, rhymes which laugh and cry, which make us laugh or cry: Let them live: God blesses all the merciful: and the world blesses the poets.
~ Arthur Rimbaud
La vraie vie est absente. Nous ne sommes pas au monde.

~ Arthur Rimbaud
The epithet "revolutionary" is usually reserved for two great modern developments – the Relativity Theory and the Quantum Theory. These are not merely new discoveries as to the content of the world; they involve changes in our mode of thought about the world.
~ Arthur Stanley Eddington
The frank realisation that physical science is concerned with a world of shadows is one of the most significant of recent advances.
~ Arthur Stanley Eddington
In physics we have outgrown archer and apple-pie definitions of the fundamental symbols. To a request to explain what an electron really is supposed to be we can only answer, "It is part of the A B C of physics". The external world of physics has thus become a world of shadows. In removing our illusions we have removed the substance, for indeed we have seen that substance is one of the greatest of our illusions.
~ Arthur Stanley Eddington
The appearance of a four-dimensional world is due to Minkowski. Einstein showed the relativity of the familiar quantities of physics; Minkowski showed how to recover the absolute by going back to their four-dimensional origin and searching more deeply.
~ Arthur Stanley Eddington
The actuality of Nature is like the beauty of Nature. We can scarcely describe the beauty of a landscape as non-existent when there is no conscious being to witness it; but it is through consciousness that we can attribute a meaning to it. And so it is with the actuality of the world. If actuality means 'known to mind' then it is a purely subjective character of the world; to make it objective we must substitute 'knowable to mind'.
~ Arthur Stanley Eddington
True conversion is the renouncing of the world, the flesh, and the devil; and it is at our peril that we lust after the things we have abandoned. As Matthew Henry (1662-1714) says, "Drawing back is to perdition, and looking back is towards it.
~ Arthur W. Pink
Finally, attempt, with me, to assume and then to contemplate the opposite. To deny the divine decrees would be to predicate a world and all its concerns regulated by UN-designed chance or blind fate. Then what peace, what assurance, what comfort would there be for our poor hearts and minds? What refuge would there be to fly to in the hour of need and trial? None at all. There would be nothing better than the black darkness and abject horror of atheism.
~ Arthur W. Pink
Mere things?however costly or lovely in themselves?cannot meet the real needs of the soul. The heart was made for God, and He alone can fill it. Self's enjoyment of the joys of this earth leaves naught but emptiness behind. The thirst of the soul cannot be quenched by the cisterns of this world. Gold can purchase nothing but what proves to be vanity. Christ alone "satisfieth the longing soul" (Psa 107:9).
~ Arthur W. Pink
Fallire un suicidio non è poi la cosa più tragica al mondo: non si può riuscire sempre in tutto.
~ Arto Paasilinna
Život ztratil význam. Kdyby aspo? svitla nad?je na válku nebo povstání, jenže sv?tová situace se v posledních letech uklid?ovala. Což samo o sob? je dobré, ale pro profesionálního vojáka to zna?í nezam?stnanost.
~ Arto Paasilinna
En un mundo donde el horror se vende como arte, donde el arte nace ya con la pretensión de ser fotografiado, donde convivir con las imágenes del sufrimiento no tiene relación con la conciencia ni con la compasión, las fotos de guerra no sirven para nada.
~ Arturo Pérez-Reverte
Sólo dispongo de una vida, dijo. Un breve momento entre dos noches. Y el mundo es una aventura formidable que no estoy dispuesto a perderme.
~ Arturo Pérez-Reverte
En las nueve mil leguas que tiene de perímetro el mundo, no hay un solo lugar donde las supuestas órdenes de algún dios no hayan consagrado algún crimen.
~ Arturo Pérez-Reverte
todos los ojos de todos los niños de todas las guerras eran una larga recriminación sin palabras al mundo de los adultos.
