"Be Kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle"- Philo of Alexandria.
The Hebrew word for soul is nephesh.
The physicist/theologian John Polkinghorne "believes in a God who created something more beautiful than a ready-made world- a world with an inborn capacity to become and create itself". This one is totally awesome. Think about it.
"The more personal you are willing to be and the more intimate you are willing to be about the details of your own life, the more universal you are."- Sherwin Nuland (surgeon and author)
Nuland: "There isn't a reason in the world that the religious have to explain their faith on a scientific basis. What is needed between science and religion is not a debate, but a conversation, each one saying, "You know, you're here to stay and I'm here to stay, so let's find out how our relationship can be of greatest benefit to this world."
Nuland again: "And given the opportunity to make choices, they will always choose the more salubrious way...Every cliche has a reason".
