“It may be asked, if He, as appears, has chosen to employ inferior organisms as a generative medium”

Robert Chambers (publisher, born 1802) book Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation

Source: Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation (1844), p. 235
Context: It may be asked, if He, as appears, has chosen to employ inferior organisms as a generative medium for the production of higher ones, even including ourselves, what right have we, his humble creatures, to find fault? There is, also, in this prejudice, an element of unkindliness towards the lower animals, which is utterly out of place. These creatures are all of them part products of the Almighty Conception, as well as ourselves.... Let us regard them in a proper spirit, as parts of the grand plan, instead of contemplating them in the light of frivolous prejudices, and we shall be altogether at a loss to see how there should be any degradation in the idea of our race having been genealogically connected with them.

“Those first teachers of the Western world were teaching Quality, and the medium they had chosen was that of rhetoric.”

Robert M. Pirsig book Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

Source: Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance (1974), Ch. 29
Context: Lightning hits!
Quality! Virtue! Dharma! That is what the Sophists were teaching! Not ethical relativism. Not pristine "virtue." But aretê. Excellence. Dharma! Before the Church of Reason. Before substance. Before form. Before mind and matter. Before dialectic itself. Quality had been absolute. Those first teachers of the Western world were teaching Quality, and the medium they had chosen was that of rhetoric.

“Cheerfully and cheerily, I started working once more in giant steps to the second painting by Mr Twent.”

Andreas Schelfhout (1787–1870) Dutch painter, etcher and lithographer

of the estate Raaphorst, then owned by Abraham Jacob Twent, who wanted his estate immortalized in two large paintings

(original Dutch, citaat van Schelfhout, uit zijn brief:) Vrolijk en opgeruimt, ben ik weder met reuze schreden begonen aan het tweede schilderij van de Heer Twent. [van het Wassenaarse landgoed Raaphorst, toen in bezit van Abraham Jacob Twent, die het landgoed in twee grote schilderijen wilde laten vereeuwigen]
Quote from Schelfhout, in a letter (with sketched figures) to an unknown friend, 21 Feb. 1823; as cited in Andreas Schelfhout - landschapschilder in Den Haag, Cyp Quarles van Ufford, Primavera Pers, (ISBN 978-90-5997-066-3), Leiden, p. 74

“Mr. Tsuburaya was a gentleman. He was very charismatic. Mr. Tsuburaya would never express his anger at me or the other monster actors. However, he would express his anger at the members of his staff. Mr. Tsuburaya often pretended to be asleep when he in fact was just thinking about his work. Once he had decided what he wanted to do, he would pretend to wake up. He then would begin giving instructions to the members of his staff. There were two things Mr. Tsuburaya hated. One was snakes and the other was bloodshed. I remember that someone once asked Mr. Tsuburaya why he never showed bloodshed in the monster films on which he worked. Mr. Tsuburaya replied that he never showed it because he knew that children went to see the movies. One day, a Toho employee suggested that the studio produce a film about a giant snake. Mr. Tsuburaya didn't like the idea, so the movie was never made. Mr. Tsuburaya would try to inspire the people with whom he worked. His inspiration helped me keep playing giant monsters for eighteen years.”

Haruo Nakajima (1929–2017) Japanese actor

He had one eye in the middle of his forehead.”
