hhmmm.. I interpret this as:\n\nThe Christian religion is based on lies, and has been formed, in my opinion, as a type of slavery. If Christianity was shunned from society like satanism or the old religions, I would not survive as the followers depend on worldwide recognition. Our bible IS the wind and rain, means it will be there forever. And whatever society decides what is right, there will always be people who respect and honour this old religion.\n\nYes.\n\nThat's my interpretation.

looks at it.\n\n\nBut I'm finding that there are confilcts over who said it originally.  I have found both Emerson and Thoreau as being quoted.

I have not seen the movie so I am not certain what specific quotation you are seeking, but in researching this answer, have watched the movie trailer, I know I will have to see this film. \nIn the trailer she says "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure..." now I am searching for the author of that quote (insert eye-rolling smiley here!!)

I don't know who said it, or the actual quote but it went along the lines of, "If you have 1 true friend, then you have succeeded in life".  I have plenty of true friends and I already feel like my life has mattered (whether for the better or worst I cannot say).  I remember a discussion we had in a class once in which a teacher said, no matter what we do, we will not matter in the large scale of things.  I disagreed of course and stated of course we change history.  For example, what if the man who invented the atom bomb were never born?  What if the people who researched penicillian had different paths and what if certain events, such as a teacher telling a student to get back in line and the student following through never occured?  Had that teacher not been there, the students' world could be very different.\n\nSo, I think everyone's life does matter in some way shape or form, unless you have no interaction with anyone at anytime your life does matter.  And even if you don't, in some way you are still a part of the earth, even when you die and become the ground again.

I can't remember where the quote is from, but I agree with it entirely.  It means "no holds barred", in a way, and I find it true in love and war.  It's sad to say that's true in love, but, experience tells me it is true, and our culture supports it entirely.  Our international bodies try to make it untrue in war, such as in the Geneva Convention, but, war is hell everything's "fair" in hell, so . . ..  God Bless you.

I'm not entirely sure of the context of this qoute, but I would guess that it is telling a race of poeople who have been historically oppressed by others that they should work together and try to overthrow their oppressors/ achieve a certain goal because they can do anything when together and they are not inferior, even though they might have been told so by their oppressors.

To me the saying is about empathy. If you were to percive suffering from anothers perspective, you would be discouraged from making that person suffer.\nBut then does that mean that we are all selfish creatures, only not doing bad for fear that we might one day be on the recieving end? I don't think so; I genuiely think we are onditioned aginst causing others pain. Of course there are exceptions to this.\nThe biggest problem facing the idea today is the fact that we are encouraged to divide into "them" and "us". People who do not share the same country/race/religion as us are portrayed as less human and therfore less deserving of this empathy. With these people we are encouraged not to care about their well being.\n\nPerhaps the phrase should be "Treat ALL others.."\n\nSorry I couldnt think of an example ;)

well, i'd first like to just say that i personally dont fully agree with this quote as why would it be better to love and lose it than not experiencing love if you can keep the love and work not to lose it? ignorance, as some say, is bliss...\n\nanyway... i shall elaborate for u...  the quote basically says that it is better to experience love and then lose it rather than never find out and experience it. a lot of ppl believe in this because they believe that love is the best thing in the world, and like other things, it too has and end. but, they say that at least they had a taste of what it was like and the memories of love would forever be on their mind to keep on going... and after experiencing love, or while experiencing love, they will  probably feel on top of the world that they pity those who have not expeienced love yet as they haven't ever been happy in the arms of a loved one as they would feel truly happy.....\n\nor sumthing like that, i hope u understand what i just typed, but if not, i'm sorry then :D

Paraphrased, it says:\n\nI've taken some historical figures, and I've distorted and manipulated them into a fictional tale...I have no problem with the way I misrepresented Jesus Christ and His devoted followers, because I simply hope to make a lot of money.

It's  From "A Death in the Family" by James Agee.\nThe full quote is\n\n"How far we all come. How far we all come away from ourselves. You can never go home again." \n\nIt's a story about a family dealing with the accidental death of the father.  See my source link to read more.\n\n(One interpretation:  Once you grow up and have your own life, even if you physically return to your childhood house, you can't return to that place of innocence and safety -- it's never "home" as it once was because you are a different person.)
