Pliny the Elder Zitate

To seek after any shape of God, and to assign a form and image to Him, is a proof of man's folly. For God, whosoever he be (if haply there be any other but the world itself), and in what part soever resident, all sense He is, all sight, all hearing: He is the whole of the life and of the soul, all of Himself.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Nach jeder Form Gottes zu suchen und Ihm eine Form und ein Bild zu geben, ist ein Beweis für die Torheit des Menschen. Für Gott, wer auch immer er ist (wenn auch nur irgendetwas anderes als die Welt selbst), und in welchem Teil auch immer er lebt, ist er allen Sinn, alles sehend, alles hörend: Er ist das ganze Leben und die Seele, alles von ihm selbst.

I spend my afternoons painting and working on my Open Hearts jewelry line for Kay Jewelers. I designed an image of a heart that isn't completely closed. My mom always told me to live with an open heart - when life gets tough, you should go out and help someone else.

I conclude, therefore, that this star is not some kind of comet or a fiery meteor... but that it is a star shining in the firmament itself one that has never previously been seen before our time, in any age since the beginning of the world.

People in millenniums ahead will know what we were like in the 1930's and the thing that, the important major things that shaped our history at that time. This is as important for historic reasons as any other.

I like to learn the lines and not get any precontrived things in my head about the part. Just get on stage and see what the other actors are doing, and respond to them as honestly as I can.
