• Health education emphasizing risks is a form of pedagogy, which, like other forms, serves to legitimize ideologies and social practices. Risk discourse in the public health sphere allows the state, as the owner of knowledge, to exert power of the bodies of its citizens. Risk discourse, therefore, especially when it emphasizes lifestyle risks, serves as an effective Foucauldian agent of surveillance and control that is difficult to challenge because of its manifest benevolent goal of maintaining standards of health. In doing so, it draws attention away from the structural causes of ill-health.

• It is the essence of truth that it is never excessive. Why should it exaggerate? There is that which should be destroyed and that which should be simply illuminated and studied. How great is the force of benevolent and searching examination! We must not resort to the flame where only light is required.

  Victor Hugo

  Light, Exaggeration Is, Flames

• I hate organized religion. I think you have to love thy neighbor as thyself. I think you have to pick your own God and be true to him. I always say 'him' rather than 'her.' Maybe it's because of my generation, but I don't like the idea of a female God. I see God as a benevolent male.

• For instance, dragons are deeply revered by the Chinese. According to legend they have megapowers that include weather control and life creation. And they’re seen as kind, benevolent creatures. Funny. Every fairy tale I’d ever heard involving dragons starred daring knights trotting off to kill said dragons. Probably the real reason every time East meets West they get pissed off and throw tea in our faces.

• Thin clouds form, and the shadows lengthen out. They have no breadth, as summer shadows have; there are no leaves on the trees or fat clouds in the sky to make them thick. They are gaunt, mean shadows that bite the ground like teeth. As the sun nears the horizon, its benevolent yellow begins to deepen, to become infected, until it glares an angry inflamed orange. It throws a variegated glow over the horizon.

• La idea es que el temperamento mejora con la edad, que uno aprende a tratar mejor con la gente y se vuelve más benevolente y cariñoso. Eso no es necesariamente cierto. Intento mantenerme relajado, pero a veces lo mejor es alejarse y echarse una buena siesta.

• La promulgación de las grandes doctrinas de la religión, el ser, los atributos y la providencia de un Dios Todopoderoso: la responsabilidad ante él por todas nuestras acciones, basada en la libertad moral y la rendición de cuentas; un estado futuro de recompensas y castigos; el cultivo de todas las virtudes personales, sociales y benevolentes, todo esto nunca puede ser un asunto indiferente en ninguna comunidad bien ordenada. De hecho, es difícil concebir cómo puede existir una sociedad civilizada sin ellas.

• Una nación es para otra lo que un individuo es para otro; con esta melancólica distinción, quizás, de que la primera, con menos emociones benévolas que la segunda, tiene también menos restricciones para aprovecharse indebidamente de las indiscreciones de los demás.

• I need a lot of support... Life is really hard, and I don't see some active benevolent force out there. I see it as basically a really cool survival game. You get on the right side of the tracks, and you now are actually working with what some people would call magic.

• Lament is a cry of belief in a good God, a God who has His ear to our hearts, a God who transfigures the ugly into beauty. Complaint is the bitter howl of unbelief in any benevolent God in this moment, a distrust in the love-beat of the Father's heart.

• The more I learn about the universe, the less convinced I am that there's any sort of benevolent force that has anything to do with it, at all.

• El verdadero problema es que la "bondad" es una cualidad que nos atribuimos fatalmente a nosotros mismos por motivos bastante inadecuados. Todo el mundo se siente benevolente si nada le molesta en ese momento. Así, un hombre llega fácilmente a consolarse de todos sus otros vicios por la convicción de que "su corazón está en el lugar correcto" y "no haría daño a una mosca", aunque de hecho nunca ha hecho el más mínimo sacrificio por una criatura. Pensamos que somos bondadosos cuando sólo somos felices: no es tan fácil, por los mismos motivos, imaginarse a uno mismo templado, casto o humilde.

  C. S. Lewis

  Hurt, Kindness, Real

• Creemos en ser honestos, veraces, castos, benévolos y en hacer el bien a todos los hombres; de hecho, podemos decir que seguimos la admonición de Pablo: Todo lo creemos, todo lo esperamos, mucho lo hemos padecido y esperamos poder soportarlo todo. Si hay algo virtuoso, amable, de buena reputación o digno de alabanza, buscamos estas cosas.

• It sounds silly, I know. But for me, the power of music rests in its ability to reach inside and touch the places where the deepest cuts lie. Like a benevolent god, a good song will never let you down. And sometimes, when you're trying to find your way, one of those gods actually shows up and gives you directions.

• Pain and darkness have been our lot since the Fall of Man. But there must be some hope that we can rise to a higher level ... that consciousness can evolve to a plane more benevolent than its counterpoint of a universe hardwired to indifference.
