“St Thomas had lots to say about the mystical quality of createdness.”

— Ida Friederike Görres

For him the creature is truly a mystery, a mystical reality. Sometimes this strikes me so forcibly that I shrink from crushing a gnat or plucking a blade of grass - how dare one do such a thing, except of necessity? Nothing sentimental about this - not even compassion at having to hurt things - simply awe before their Maker. I'd never dare to tear up someone else's sketch or manuscript without first asking the author's permission - unless, of course, he had asked me to do so.

“When a man is taken in a mystical sense, his qualities are often signified by his actions”

Isaac Newton (1643–1727) British physicist and mathematician and founder of modern classical physics

Vol. I, Ch. 2: Of the Prophetic Language
Observations upon the Prophecies of Daniel, and the Apocalypse of St. John (1733)
Context: When a man is taken in a mystical sense, his qualities are often signified by his actions, and by the circumstances of things about him. So a Ruler is signified by his riding on a beast; a Warrior and Conqueror, by his having a sword and bow; a potent man, by his gigantic stature; a Judge, by weights and measures... the affliction or persecution which a people suffers in laboring to bring forth a new kingdom, by the pain of a woman in labor to bring forth a man-child; the dissolution of a body politic or ecclesiastic, by the death of a man or beast; and the revival of a dissolved dominion, by the resurrection of the dead.

“We owe a lot to Thomas Edison-if it wasn't for him, we'd be watching television by candlelight.”

“It feels like if I had said it was a Muslim or a Mexican or someone black, I feel like the doubters would have supported me a lot much more. A lot more. And that says a lot about the place that we are in our country right now.”

“This election is going to say a lot about Virginia's future and about the country's future.”

Terry McAuliffe (1957) American businessman and politician

Quoted on BBC News, "Virginia governor race: McAuliffe and Cuccinelli campaign on election eve" http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-24809097, November 4, 2013.

“There were many mystical phenomena in Adrienne's life—stigmata, transferences, the radiating of light, levitation, speaking with tongues, and other things of that kind, but they all occurred in a totally unemphatic way. They were mere accompaniments to show forth the heart of the matter: what was to be passed on to the Church, invisibly through prayer and strenuous penance, visibly through the dictated works. The criterion of her mysticism's authenticity lies primarily, if not exclusively, in the quality of what she did and what she had and has to say.”

Hans Urs Von Balthasar (1905–1988) Swedish Catholic theologian

Our Task: A Report and a Plan (1984)

“I'd say we've had a lot of problems with radical Islamic terrorism. That's what I'd say. We have a lot of problems. … I'd say you've got to take a look at that, because something is going on. And it's not good.”

Donald J. Trump (1946) 45th President of the United States of America

2010s, 2016, July, This Week Interview (July 30, 2016)

“Which is just a fancy way of saying, "I think about it a lot, day and night."”

Lois McMaster Bujold (1949) Science Fiction and fantasy author from the USA

"Publishing, Writing, and Authoring", p. 67
The Vorkosigan Companion (2008)
Context: I attack both from the logic-side, scribbling outline after outline, and the long-walk relaxed-visualization-side, and while neither alone is enough, the combination synergizes. Which is just a fancy way of saying, "I think about it a lot, day and night."
