The most refined abstractions of logic conduct to a view of life, which, though startling to the apprehension, is, in fact, that which the habitual sense of its repeated combinations has extinguished in us. it strips, as it were, the painted curtain from this scene of things. i confess that i am one of those who are unable to refuse my assent to the conclusions of those philosophers who assert that nothing exists but as it is perceived.

I think in daily newspapers, the way comic strips are treated, it's as if newspaper publishers are going out of their way to kill the medium. they're printing the comics so small that most strips are just talking heads, and if you look back at the glory days of comic strips, you can see that they were showcases for some of the best pop art ever to come out.
Art Thinking Talking
Assurance grows by repeated conflict, by our repeated experimental proof of the lord's power and goodness to save; when we have been brought very low and helped, sorely wounded and healed, cast down and raised again, have given up all hope, and been suddenly snatched from danger, and placed in safety; and when these things have been repeated to us and in us a thousand times over, we begin to learn to trust simply to the word and power of god, beyond and against appearances: and this trust, when habitual and strong, bears the name of assurance; for even assurance has degrees.

When a buddha is painted, not only a clay altar or lump of earth is used, but the thirty-two marks, a blade of grass, and the cultivation of wisdom for incalculable eons are used. as a buddha has been painted on a single scroll in this way, all buddhas are painted buddhas, and all painted buddhas are actual buddhas.

Mathematics has the completely false reputation of yielding infallible conclusions. its infallibility is nothing but identity. two times two is not four, but it is just two times two, and that is what we call four for short. but four is nothing new at all. and thus it goes on and on in its conclusions, except that in the higher formulas the identity fades out of sight.
