More From Jeff Koons

Although i'm not christian, i was raised christian. i'm an atheist, with a slight buddhist leaning. i've got a very strong sense of morality - it's just a different morality than the loud voices of the christian morality.... i can't tell you how many films i've turned down because there was an absence of morality. and i don't mean that from any sort of judeo-christian-muslim point of view. i'm not saying they're wrong and can't be made. but, fundamentally, i'm such a humanist that i can't bear to make films that make us feel humanity is more dark than it is light.

True eloquence makes light of eloquence, true morality makes light of morality; that is to say, the morality of the judgment, which has no rules, makes light of the morality of the intellect.... to make light of philosophy is to be a true philosopher.

Western civilization has been in a state of decline since the edwardian age, say 1910. that was the height of greco-roman european civilization. then there was the first world war. that was the beginning of the end. that civilization has been in a decline ever since. but from the american triumphalist point of view our wonderful electronic revolution is really the forefront of an ongoing wonderful civilization.

We're headed for what is called type 1 civilization, planetary civilization. type 2 would be stellar civilization, like star trek. type 3 civilization would be galactic, like star wars. we are type 0. we get our energy from dead plants, oil and coal. but the question is: will we make it? will we make the transition from type 0 to type 1? it's not clear.

My point is, as civilization is progressing, mosaic law came down from the mountain, was handed to civilization, it emerged through the greek civilization as the greeks were developing their age of reason. and we're talking about the foundation of western civilization, and almost concurrently with that, roman law was emerging as well.
Talking Law Civilization
Utilitarianism is a civilization of production and of use, a civilization of "things" and not of "persons," a civilization in which persons are used in the same way as things are used. in the context of a civilization of use, woman can become an object for man, children a hindrance to parents, the family an institution obstructing the freedom of its members.

I derived my strength from daily mass and communion.
Faith Mass Communion
Whoever finds jesus, finds a rich treasure, and a good above every good. he who loses jesus loses much indeed, and more than the whole world. poorest of all is he who lives without jesus, and richest of all is he who stands in favor with jesus.

Just to be is a blessing. just to live is holy.

Get the heat and emotion out worry, and put cold, ruthless scrutiny onto the problem, and worry loses its power. when we are worried and filled with apprehension, we become panicky and are likely to see only gloom and failure. there isn't any situation so bad that it won't become a lot better when you think rationally - and spiritually - about it. god gives you the ability to think rationally about things by filling you with peace and faith.
