The larger the german body, the smaller the german bathing suit and the louder the german voice issuing german demands and german orders to everybody who doesn't speak german. for this, and several other reasons, germany is known as 'the land where israelis learned their manners'.
Order Land Voice
I should . . . prefer swallowing one incomprehensibility rather than two. it requires one effort only to admit the single incomprehensibility of matter endowed with thought, and two to believe, first that of an existence called spirit, of which we have neither evidence nor idea, and then secondly how that spirit, which has neither extension nor solidity, can put material organs into motion.
Believe Ideas Two
There are similarities between absolute power and absolute faith: a demand for absolute obedience, a readiness to attempt the impossible, a bias for simple solutionsto cut the knot rather than unravel it, the viewing of compromise as surrender. both absolute power and absolute faith are instruments of dehumanization. hence, absolute faith corrupts as absolutely as absolute power.

We define boredom as the pain a person feels when he's doing nothing or something irrelevant, instead of something he wants to do but won't, can't, or doesn't dare. boredom is acute when he knows the other thing and inhibits his action, e.g., out of politeness, embarrassment, fear of punishment or shame. boredom is chronic if he has repressed the thought of it and no longer is aware of it. a large part of stupidity is just the chronic boredom, for a person can't learn, or be intelligent about, what he's not interested in, when his repressed thoughts are elsewhere.
Pain Blessing Intelligent
Patience and boredom are closely related. boredom, a certain kind of boredom, is really impatience. you don't like the way things are, they aren't interesting enough for you, so you deccide- and boredom is a decision-that you are bored.
