More From Jodi Picoult

How can there be methods and systems to arrive at something that is living? to that which is static, fixed, dead, there can be a way, a definite path, but not to that which is living. do not reduce reality to a static thing and then invent methods to reach it. ...truth has no path. truth is living and, therefore, changing. it has no resting place, no form, no organized institution, no philosophy. when you see that, you will understand that this living thing is also what you are. you cannot express and be alive through static, put-together form, through stylized movement.

Each of the parts of philosophy is a philosophical whole, a circle rounded and complete in itself. in each of these parts, however, the philosophical idea is found in a particular specificality or medium. the single circle, because it is a real totality, bursts through the limits imposed by its special medium, and gives rise to a wider circle. the whole of philosophy in this way resembles a circle of circles. the idea appears in each single circle, but, at the same time, the whole idea is constituted by the system of these peculiar phases, and each is a necessary member of the organisation.

The universe is circles within circles, and everything is one circle, and all the circles are connected to each other. each family is a circle, and those family circles connect together and make a community, and the community makes its circle where it lives on the earth. it (the community) cares for that part (of the earth) but cares for it as a circle - which is to say in a cooperative and egalitarian way, where everybody is cared for, and everybody is respected.

All is finite in the present; and even that finite is infinite in it velocity of flight towards death. but in god there is nothing finite...upon a night of earthquake he builds a thousand years of pleasant habitations for man. upon the sorrow of an infant he raises oftentimes from human intellects glorious vintages that could not else have been.

I can well imagine an athiest's last words: "white, white! l-l-love! my god!" - and the deathbed leap of faith. whereas the agnostic, if he stays true to his reasonable self, if he stays beholden to dry, yeastless factuality, might try to explain the warm light bathing him by saying "possibly a f-f-failing oxygenation of the b-b-brain," and, to the very end, lack imagination and miss the better story.
