WorldIn QUOTES

1 " The Quiet WorldIn an effort to get people to lookinto each other’s eyes more,and also to appease the mutes,the government has decidedto allot each person exactly one hundred and sixty-seven words, per day.When the phone rings, I put it to my ear without saying hello. In the restaurant I point at chicken noodle soup.I am adjusting well to the new way.Late at night, I call my long distance lover, I only used fifty-nine today. When she doesn’t respond,I know she’s used up all her words, thirty-two and a third times.After that, we just sit on the line and listen to each other breathe. "

2 " Through the darkest hours of the night
and through the dreamers realm I seek,
Far beyond the starry sky
and beyond galaxies I am free.

Through the grimmest memories
and past a seasons air I cannot breathe,
Far beyond this mortal world
in an afterlife we shall meet. "

3 " you’re already naked in this world
in this time
in this life
beacause your next love

4 " The widespread success of science is too significant
an issue to be treated as if it were a happy accident that we are
free to enjoy without enquiring more deeply into why this is
the case. Critical realist achievements of this kind cannot be a
matter of logical generality, something that one would expect
to be attainable in all possible worlds. Rather, they are an ex-
perientially confirmed aspect of the particularity of the world
in which we live and of the kind of beings that we are. Achiev-
ing scientific success is a specific ability possessed by human-
kind, exercised in the kind of universe that we inhabit. I believe
that a full understanding of this remarkable human capacity
for scientific discovery ultimately requires the insight that our
power in this respect is the gift of the universe’s Creator who,
in that ancient and powerful phrase, has made humanity in the
image of God (Genesis 1:26–27). "
