Hadingham, Evan.

To put is simply, relationships within Andean communities are characterized by a unique blend of freedom and formality.  The rituals help to maintain a fine balance between the tradtional patterns fixed in the villagers' minds and the every-changing demands of their daily world.

Hapgood, Charles H.

Every civilization seems to develop a technology sufficient for its own destruction and hitherto has made use of the same.  There is nothing magical about this.  As soon as men learned to build walls for defense, other men learned how to tear them down.  The vaster the achievements of a civilization, the farther it spreads, the greater must be the engines for destruction; and so today, to counter the modern worldwide spread of civilization, we have atomic means to destroy all life on earth.  Simple.  Logical.

It is well to be reminded that this [the Gospel of John] is a Gospel.  This is a writing deliberately intended to set forth the saving message of the Christian faith as it centers in the historic figure of Jesus of Nazareth.  It is not a life of Christ any more than the other Gospels.

Heisenberg, Werner.

When one attempts to grope one's way from the situation in modern science to the fundamentals that have begun to shift, one has the impression that it is not too crude a simplification of the state of affairs to assert that for the first time in the course of history man on earth faces only himself, that he finds no longer any partner or foe.

In earlier times he [man] was endangered by wild animals, disease, hunger, cold, and other forces of nature, and in this strife every extension of technology represented a strengthening of his position and therefore progress.  In our time, when the earth is becoming every more densely settled, the narrowing of the possibilities of life and thus the threat to man's existence originates above all from other people, who also assert their claim to the goods of the earth.  In such a confrontation, the extension of technology need no longer be an indication of progress.

Its [Arthurian cycle's] lasting facination is to be explained, if at all, only in that it was the quintessence of the history of a whole culture.  The Celts, who entered the European landscape as head-hunters, now leave it as Christian knights, though without--as the legend of Arthur shows--ever being untrue to themselves.

According to Gellerman, the most subtle and most important characteristic of money is its power as a symbol.  Its most obvious symbolic power is its market value.  It is what money can buy, not money itself, that gives it value.  But money's symbolic power is not limited to its market value.  Since money has no intrinsic meaning of its own, it can symbolize almost any need an individual wants it to represent.  In other words, money can mean whatever people want it to mean.

One of the interesting things about sorting programs that evolved in my experiment is that I do not understand how they work....  It may be that the programs are not understandable--that there is no way to break the operation of the program into a hierarchy of understandable parts.  If this is true--if evolution can produce something as simple as a sorting program which is fundamentally incomprehensible--it does not bode well for our prospects of ever understanding the human brain.

The reaction to this on the part of young people, even those in a teen-age [sic] gang, is not a calculated immorality, however, but a return to an older, more personal, but no less rigorous code of ethics, which includes the inviolability of comradeship, the respect for confidences, and an almost mystical regard for courage -- all of which are the ethics of the tribe, rather than the community; the code of a small compact group living in an indifferent or a hostile environment, which it seeks not to conquer or change, but only to elude.

Honer, Stanley M., and Hunt, Thomas C.

A set of assumptions (a stand of faith) underlies each philosophical position.  We easily recognize this fact in the case of traditional religious views, but it applies with equal force to the skeptic, the cynic, or the person who demands scientific evidenc for every proposition in his belief system.  A stand of faith can place one in a precarious or a vulnerable position, but it can also afford advantages.

Whether "Gnostics" or "Christians" were earlier in point of time is still an open question, but it is certain that first-century Christianity was unique among the welter of contemporary religious and philosophical creeds.  For in the midst of emanations, aeons, and learned though cryptic disquisitions on cosmology and eschatology was born a faith rather than a "gnosis", adoring a personality rather than a principle, and as wholly isolated as possible from the speculative habit of the time.
