Insistence Quotes - Page 7

• Los peores pecadores, según Jesús, no son las rameras y los publicanos, sino los líderes religiosos con su insistencia en la vestimenta y el aseo adecuados, su cuidadosa observancia de todas las normas, su preciosa preocupación por los símbolos de estatus, su estricta legalidad, su piadoso patriotismo... el corte de pelo se convierte en la prueba de la virtud en un mundo en el que Satanás engaña y gobierna mediante las apariencias.

  Hugh Nibley

• Everything is grounded in mystery. Everything is swimming, and the stable does not exist. Life is a series of guesses, and there is mystery in a match. The commonplace is the habitual, and the habitual is a mystery that has grown stale from sense-insistence. Life undulates; there is no such thing as a level; a straight line is a myth, and all directions are indirections.

• Classical music is at odds with contemporary culture precisely because of its insistence on the tension between the bodily and intellectual, the material and the spiritual, the thinglike and its transcendence in thought. A culture that is merely sensuous and that denies the activity of the mind within sensuous materials risks becoming pornographic.

• The best in art and life comes from a center - something urgent and powerful, an idea or emotion that insists on its being. From that insistence, a shape emerges and creates its structure out of passion. If you begin with a structure, you have to make up the passion, and that's very hard to do.

• Belief, as I use the word here, is the insistence that the truth is what one would "lief" or wish it to be. The believer will open his mind to the truth on condition that it fits in with his preconceived ideas and wishes. Faith, on the other hand, is an unreserved opening of the mind to the truth, whatever it may turn out to be. Faith has no preconceptions; it is a plunge into the unknown. Belief clings, but faith lets go.
