"I shall here write my thoughts without order, and not perhaps in unintentional confusion; that is true order, which will always indicate my object by its very disorder. I should do too much honour to my subject, if I treated it with order, since I want to show that it is incapable of it" (Pascal, Pensees 373).

"The heritage of values which has been received and handed down is always challenged...To challenge does not necessarily mean to destroy or reject a priori, but above all to put these values to the test in one's own life, and through this existential verification to make them more real, relevant and personal, distinguishing the valid elements in the tradition from false and erroneous ones, or from obsolete forms which can be usefully replaced by others more suited to the times" (John Paul II, Centesimus Annus).
"If there were no obscurity, man would not be sensible of his corruption; if there were no light, man would not hope for a remedy. Thus, it is not only fair, but advantageous to us, that God be partly hidden and partly revealed; since it is equally dangerous to man to know God without knowing his own wretchedness, and to know his own wretchedness without knowing God" (Pascal, Pensees 686).
Cryptography is the study of means of converting information from comprehensible form into an incomprehensible format--the art of encryption. In the past, cryptography helped ensure secrecy in important communications, such as those of spies.
Icon (n): a graphic symbol that denotes a program or a command or a data file or a concept in a graphical user interface; a visual representation of an object or scene or person or abstraction produced on a surface; a religious image on a small panel--venerated in the Eastern Church.
If I could through myself / Set your spirit free / I'd lead your heart away / See you break, break away / Into the light / And to the day.

"Americans are hopelessly bogged down in the celebratory mode - I call it Disneyfying events."
i really like this guy. *cough hunchback cough* America seems to have this problem of making everything all happy and ignoring everything that makes people upset. i've noticed most things don't have a happy ending unless there's some religion in there, but we all know how religion is only for "fanatics." Or, if they do concentrate on the stuff that upsets people, they glorify it or make it so that it doesn't bother people and their conscience. just enough to say, "wow, that's really bad. glad i'm a good enough person to recognize that."
we need more people like fussell out there, making sure that people get the truth they need to hear. otherwise we all become far too desensitized and forget about the issues that really matter. i mean 4,000 slaughtered a day and all that anybody cares about is what so and so wore to the emmys?!?!? what?!!? this desensitization has led to some major priority issues in our country and it is only through people present the real picture, as hard as it is to hear, that we're going to be able to work through that and find what REALLY matters. unlike some believe, truth exists and you can't ignore it.
