“Spend the years of learning squandering
Courage for the years of wandering
Through a world politely turning
From the loutishness of learning.”
― Samuel Beckett, Collected Poems in English and French

“Discourse about God is unique and cannot be compared to any other human language. It is irreducible to any other discourse.”
― Raimon Panikkar, The Experience of God: Icons of the Mystery

“Discourse about God is radically different from every l other discourse on every other subject because God is not an object. Were God to be spoken of as object, God would become nothing more than an idol.”
― Raimon Panikkar, The Experience of God: Icons of the Mystery

“Emotional neglect lays the groundwork for the emotional numbing that helps boys feel better about being cut off. Eruptions of rage in boys are most often deemed normal, explained by the age-old justification for adolescent patriarchal misbehavior, "Boys will be boys." Patriarchy both creates the rage in boys and then contains it for later use, making it a resource to exploit later on as boys become men. As a national product, this rage can be garnered to further imperialism, hatred and oppression of women and men globally. This rage is needed if boys are to become men willing to travel around the world to fight wars without ever demanding that other ways of solving conflict can be found.”
