1 " It is reasonable to love the Absolute absolutely for the same reason it is reasonable to love the relative relatively. "
― Peter Kreeft , Jesus-Shock
2 " If someone says, " the Gnani Purush is happy in the 'Real' but happy or unhappy in the 'relative’" , then I would say, " No, the Gnani Purush Knows the 'relative' as being the 'relative', and therefore He is happy in the relative as well. "
3 " In this era, there are all kinds of prakrutis (personality of the relative self), so how can it work without adjusting? "
― Dada Bhagwan
4 " The Sufi must be able to alternate his thought between the relative and the Absolute, the approximate and the Real. "
― Idries Shah , A Perfumed Scorpion
5 " The fiction writer is an observer, first, last, and always, but he cannot be an adequate observer unless he is free from uncertainty about what he sees. Those who have no absolute values cannot let the relative remain merely relative; they are always raising it to the level of the absolute. The Catholic fiction writer is entirely free to observe. He feels no call to take on the duties of God or to create a new universe. He feels perfectly free to look at the one we already have and to show exactly what he sees. "
― Flannery O'Connor , Mystery and Manners: Occasional Prose
6 " From the Absolute to the Relative-from the Infinite to the Finite-from the Undifferentiated to the Differentiated-from the Unconditioned to the Conditioned and again from the Relative to the Absolute. That is the whole truth of the inexistance to the existentialist, formless to the form, Creator to the Creature, one to the every being, absolute to the inabsolute and vis-á-vis, soforth every single thing is temporary, non-existed, so do I, the dream that I dreamed off is simply a 'lie and impermanent too' same as in the mortal world whatever I do experience. "
7 " The impoverished always try to keep moving, as if relocating might help. They ignore the reality that a new version of the same old problem will be waiting at the end of the trip- the relative you cringe to kiss. "
― Markus Zusak , The Book Thief
8 " Rules are rules... sometimes we should get out of them other times we get caugh for breaking the rules... but what happens when a relative is affected in your work?Like you have to choose the relative or the work... what happens then!? "
― Deyth Banger
9 " When distant and unfamiliar and complex things are communicated to great masses of people, the truth suffers a considerable and often a radical distortion. The complex is made over into the simple, the hypothetical into the dogmatic, and the relative into an absolute. "
