"[Seeing an angel coming toward him and calling him] What is it, lord?"

"(Talking with Saint Peter) Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing, 31 and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been heard, and your alms are remembered in the sight of God. Send therefore to Joppa and call Simon here, whose surname is Peter. He is lodging in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea. When he comes, he will speak to you.’ So I sent to you immediately, and you have done well to come. Now therefore, we are all present before God, to hear all the things commanded you by God."

"There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment, a devout man and one who feared God with all his household, who gave alms generously to the people, and prayed to God always. About the ninth hour of the day he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God coming in and saying to him, “Cornelius!” [...] Now send men to Joppa, and send for Simon whose surname is Peter."

"Then Peter went down to the men who had been sent to him from Cornelius, and said, “Yes, I am he whom you seek. For what reason have you come?”"

"Love is a cage without which I could not live. The time when being called “the singer-songwriter of love” felt restrictive is over. We are no longer in the 1960s and 1970s, the era of red and black. Today, talking about love is like talking about politics."

"I cannot say that I am a peaceful man; peace does not go hand in hand with the word love. Without torment, passion cannot take off. There is no such thing as polite love; the horse of love cannot be tamed."

"However, considering the increasingly clear connections between India and the Babylonian cultural sphere, particularly in recent years, the Indian evidence for the study of Babylonian mathematics certainly comes into play. The difficulties which arise from assuming a direct borrowing by the Greeks from India fall away on the assumption of a common origin in Babylonia.As for Greece itself, the origin of the Pythagorean theorem is, as is well known, shrouded in mystery. However, there is no doubt that Pythagoras and his school were strongly influenced by the Orient. The possibility is therefore obvious that Pythagoras (or his school) had learned the theorem later named after him from oriental sources, which would be very compatible with seeing him as the discoverer of the 'Pythagorean method' for constructing integers that satisfy the relation a² + b² = c². This would only fit with the entire number-speculative tendency of this circle."

"I express myself as an androgynous woman or person...And it's so much better. I'm happier. I'm comfortable and I feel confident and I don't think--there's nothing wrong with that."

"If you like dressing up as masculine, I go for it...I have days that I feel very feminine and I literally go for it."

"Yeah, I am black. So what? What has my color to do with what I can offer to the world?"

"We know that he (Pythagoras) went to India to be instructed; but the capacity of the learner determines his degree of proficiency, and if Pythagoras on his return had so little knowledge in geometry as to consider the forty-seventh of Euclid as a great discovery, he certainly was entirely incapable of acquiring the Indian method of calculation, through his deficiency of preparatory knowledge… each teacher, or head of sect that drew his knowledge from Indian sources, might conceal his instructions to be reckoned an inventor."

"The first writer to attribute this proposition to Pythagoras is Vitruvius, hardly a reliable witness. From then on, this account became more widespread, but always in connection with the famous hecatomb that Pythagoras is said to have offered in celebration of discovering the proposition—an anecdote that severely undermines the credibility of the entire story. This sacrifice is incompatible with the strict prohibition of all bloody sacrifices, which writers of the same period, indeed often the very same ones who elsewhere recount the hecatomb, have handed down to us from the Pythagorean ritual laws. Cicero himself took offense at this anecdote, and in the latest Neopythagorean tradition, the bloody sacrifice is replaced by that of an ox formed from flour. For this reason, the hecatomb is not only incongruous with the Pythagoreans, but also with the Pythagoreans themselves. Proclus, an insightful writer, expresses himself remarkably vaguely: ‘When we listen to those who want to tell old stories, we find that they trace this theorem back to Pythagoras.’ As this shows, he too was unaware of any reliable source."

"I find that violence is very ambiguous in movies. For example, some films claim to be antiwar, but I don't think I've really seen an antiwar film. Every film about war ends up being pro-war."

"I hope we can all be reminded of caring with other human beings."

"A part of a circle is of the form of a bow, so it is called the ‘bow’ (dhanu). The straight line joining its two extremities is the ‘bow-string’ (jiva). It is really the ‘full-chord’ (samasta-jya). Half of it is here (called) the ‘half-chord’ (ardha-jya), and half that arc is called the ‘bow’ of that half-chord. In fact the Rsine (jya) and Rcosine (kotijya) of that bow are always half chords. [24]"

"(The) Rsine is positive or negative in the upper or lower halves (of the quadrants); and its Rcosine is positive, negative, negative, and positive (respectively) according to the successive quadrants."

"Nihil Mihi (Nothing to me)"

"The First Part, which concerns the Structure of the Sea Bed, clearly shows what I imagined it to be, that is, layers upon layers corresponding to those I have already found in the mountains of the continent; and such a correspondence helps me greatly to advance my system with more foundation regarding the demonstration of the organic structure of the terrestrial globe."

"Character is one of the most estimable gifts of the Creator, with which he has enriched your family. Exercise courage then, and strength of mind, to rise superior to misfortune. Let no economy appear a sacrifice. At this moment we are all poor."

"As a diplomat, Fesch sometimes employed questionable methods. His relationship to the emperor and his cardinalitical dignity often made his position a difficult one; at least he could never be accused of approving the violent measures resorted to by Napoleon. As Archbishop, he was largely instrumental in re-establishing the Brothers of Christian Doctrine and recalling the Jesuits, under the name of Pacanarists. The Archdiocese of Lyons is indebted to him for some eminently useful institutions. It must be admitted, moreover, that in his pastoral capacity Fesch took a genuine interest in the education of priests."

"When one's existence which has seemed quite secure suddenly melts away. . . when every security fails and every support gives way—then one stands face to face with the Eternal and confronts Him without protection and with fearful directness. . . When imprisonment has lasted a certain time it ceases to be punishment. One has removed one’s self from ordinary life and slowly begins to find a new standard."

"Priests must be firm in faith and charity. They are not just names, but are in fact priests, who show their love for the Lord in service to the faithful. Moreover, in a world full of temptations of consumerism and secularism, priests must face the challenges with ongoing spiritual formation."

"The sum of 13 and 8 is twenty-one, which is the number of meters with 7 matras."

"Likewise, 34, which is the sum of 21 and 13, is the number of meters with 8 matras. [Hence you have the sequence] 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, ..."

"‘European science could never have reached its present height had it not been fertilised by successive wafts from the […] knowledge stored up in the East.’ ‘Think what must have been the effect of the intense Hinduizing of three such men as Babbage, De Morgan and George Boole on the mathematical atmosphere of 1830–1865.’ ‘I do as George Boole and De Morgan did: I bow my head inreverent thankfulness to that mysterious East, whence come to us wafts of some transcendent power the nature of which we ourselves can hardly state in words.’"
