I also think we need to maintain distinctions - the doctrine of creation is different from a scientific cosmology, and we should resist the temptation, which sometimes scientists give in to, to try to assimilate the concepts of theology to the concepts of science.

We have but one permanent home: heaven - that's still the old truth that we always have to re-learn - and it's only through the impact of sad experiences that we assimilate it.

I guess the two Manifesto, Communicating Vessels, Mad Love, and some of his poetry made a significant mark on me but as far as bringing a literary element into the music I see it as a much broader assimilation.

From the beginnings of literature, poets and writers have based their narratives on crossing borders, on wandering, on exile, on encounters beyond the familiar. The stranger is an archetype in epic poetry, in novels. The tension between alienation and assimilation has always been a basic theme.

Certain stories, like my mom leaving when I was 15-years-old to go back to China because she didn't quite assimilate like we did, that was a moment that was very sad in my life.

The prompt assimilation of that intelligence will be essential if we are to avoid another September 11th.

You measure a democracy by the freedom it gives its dissidents, not the freedom it gives its assimilated conformists.

Just as food eaten without appetite is a tedious nourishment, so does study without zeal damage the memory by not assimilating what it absorbs.

Pure truth cannot be assimilated by the crowd; it must be communicated by contagion.

I was kicked out of school because of my attitude. I was not assimilating. So I went to work, taking any jobs I could get.

It is more important to pave the way for the child to want to know than to put him on a diet of facts he is not ready to assimilate.

Live your life as such a journey that it becomes a journey of an entire new way of life - a life civilized, a life humane, a life truly alive, not just biologically, but psychologically - alive in kindness, alive in love, alive in inclusion, harmony and assimilation ? or simply, alive in and as oneness.

Anybody with leisure can do that who is willing to begin where everything ought to be begun--that is, at the beginning. Nothing worth calling good can or ever will be started full grown. The essential of any good is life, and the very body of created life, and essential to it, being its self operant, is growth. The larger start you make, the less room you leave for life to extend itself. You fill with the dead matter of your construction the places where assimilation ought to have its perfect work, building by a life-process, self-extending, and subserving the whole. Small beginnings with slow growings have time to root themselves thoroughly--I do not mean in place nor yet in social regard, but in wisdom. Such even prosper by failures, for their failures are not too great to be rectified without injury to the original idea.

Tudo parecia organizado da melhor forma poss?vel, como se de fato o mundo constasse somente de palavras, como se assim o pr?prio horror fosse trazido para dimens?es seguras, como se para cada aspecto de uma coisa houvesse um reverso, para cada mal um bem, para cada dissabor um prazer, para cada infelicidade uma felicidade e para cada mentira um quinh?o de verdade.

No mundo dos antigos, governar era sin?nimo de escutar a voz dos deuses. Naturalmente que, com o seria de esperar, esse sistema acabou por ser abolido. Os reis deixaram de ser assassinados e o poder real transformou-se numa institui??o laica e heredit?ria. E foi assim que as pessoas deixaram de ouvir as vozes dos deuse.

Al?m disso, somos individualmente o produto de for?as que n?o escolhemos e que mal compreendemos. N?o escolhemos nossos pais nem a ?poca em que nascemos, e assim recebemos uma determinada heran?a gen?tica sobre a qual n?o temos controle algum, mas que, at? um ponto significante, tem controle sobre n?s. Essa heran?a determina, em parte, as doen?as a que somos suscet?veis e os limites de nossas capacidades intelectuais, atl?ticas e morais. Talvez n?o totalmente, mas o suficiente. Nascemos num ambiente que vai preencher o pouco espa?o que sobra do que foi determinado geneticamente, um ambiente que, novamente, n?o escolhemos e sobre o qual mal temos controle, pelo menos durante nossos anos de forma??o. A maneira como somos e aquilo que fazemos s?o resultados de nossos genes e nosso ambiente, que, juntos, exercem em n?s uma influ?ncia que compreendemos de forma bastante nebulosa. Era isso que os fil?sofos existencialistas, com Jean-Paul Sartre, por exemplo, queriam dizer quando afirmavam que somos jogados no mundo.

Quando ouvimos os sinos, ouvimos aquilo que j? trazemos em n?s mesmos como modelo. Sou da opini?o que n?o se dever? desprezar aquele que olhar atentamente para as manchas da parede, para os carv?es sobre a grelha, para as nuvens, ou para a correnteza da ?gua, descobrindo, assim, coisas maravilhosas. O g?nio do pintor h?-de se apossar de todas essas coisas para criar composi??es diversas: luta de homens e de animais, paisagens, monstros, dem?nios e outras coisas fant?sticas. Tudo, enfim, servir? para engrandecer o artista.

If the worker and his boss enjoy the same television program and visit the same resort places, if the typist is as attractively made up as the daughter of her employer, if the Negro owns a Cadillac, if they all read the same newspaper, then this assimilation indicates not the disappearance of classes, but the extent to which the needs and satisfactions that serve the preservation of the Establishment are shared by the underlying population.

Just as one spoils the stomach by overfeeding and thereby impairs the whole body, so can one overload and choke the mind by giving it too much nourishment. For the more one reads the fewer are the traces left of what one has read; the mind is like a tablet that has been written over and over. Hence it is impossible to reflect; and it is only by reflection that one can assimilate what one has read. If one reads straight ahead without pondering over it later, what has been read does not take root, but is for the most part lost.

I also think we need to maintain distinctions - the doctrine of creation is different from a scientific cosmology and we should resist the temptation which sometimes scientists give in to to try to assimilate the concepts of theology to the concepts of science.

I guess the two Manifesto Communicating Vessels Mad Love and some of his poetry made a significant mark on me but as far as bringing a literary element into the music I see it as a much broader assimilation.

In addition to the research I enjoyed learning French and assimilating the culture of another country.

A fact must be assimilated with or discriminated fromm some other fact or facts in order to be raised to the dignity of a truth and made to convey the least knowledge to the mind.

The prompt assimilation of that intelligence will be essential if we are to avoid another September 11th.
