Harriet Tubman Quote: “I had reasoned this out in…”

Hans Jonas Quote: “That nature does not care, one…”

That nature does not care, one way or the other, is the true abyss. That only man cares, in his finitude facing nothing but death, alone with his contingency and the objective meaninglessness of his projecting meanings, is a truly unprecedented situation.

Rudolf Steiner Quote: “What is of the nature of…”

What is of the nature of spirit and soul must be gleaned from facts belonging to the spirit and soul; we shall then know that in the living thinking which is liberated from the will, a life-germ has been discerned which passes through the gate of death, goes through the spiritual world after death, and afterwards returns again to earthly life.

September 17, 2021 1861, Austrian, February 5, Quotes by Philosophers, Rudolf Steiner

For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.

Peter Abelard Quote: “Are you not moved to tears…”

Are you not moved to tears and bitter compassion, when you behold the only Son of God seized by the most impious, dragged away, mocked, scourged, buffeted, spit upon, crowned with thorns, hung upon the infamous cross between two thieves, finally in such a horrible and execrable manner suffering death, for your salvation and that of the world?
