# Apoliticism

Apoliticism is apathy and/or antipathy towards all political affiliations.

## Quotes

* The biblical view is not just apolitical but antipolitical in the sense that it refuses to confer any value on political power, or in the sense that it regards political power as idolatrous.
** Jacques Ellul, The Subversion of Christianity (1982), G. Bromiley, trans. (1986), p. 113
* What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty and democracy?
** Mahatma Gandhi Non-Violence in Peace and War, 1942, Vol. 1, Ch. 142
* What is called politics is something so superficial and inhuman that, practically, I have never fairly recognized that it concerns me at all.
** Henry David Thoreau, “Life without Principle”
* Whether or not our position fairly can be charged as “apolitical” depends entirely upon how one defines “political.” If “political” be taken in the narrow sense, as signifying those means and methods the world regularly accepts as normative for its doing of politics, then the position of me and mine clearly and is that of apoliticism. If, however, “political” be understood in the broad, etymological sense, as identifying whatever actions have public effect upon the life of the “city” (polis), then there are no grounds for accusing either “me” or any of “mine” of advocating apoliticism.
** Vernard Eller, Christian Anarchy: Jesus’ Primacy Over the Powers (1987)
# Apocatastasis

In theology, apocatastasis is the restoration of creation to a condition of perfection. In Christianity, it is a form of Christian universalism that includes the ultimate salvation of everyone—including the damned in Hell and the Devil. The New Testament (Acts 3:21) refers to the "apocatastasis of all things", although this passage is not usually understood to teach universal salvation.

## Quotes

* I don't believe in Apocalypses. I believe in Apocatastases. I think it may be the title for The Film. It's a bitch to pronounce, and no-one knows what it means, but otherwise it's a great title.
** Neil Gaiman, Signal to Noise (1992)
* Apocatastasis. What it means: 1) Restoration, re-establishment, renovation 2) Return to a previous condition 3) (Astronomy) Return to the same apparent position, completion of a period of revolution. Think about it.
** Neil Gaiman, Signal to Noise (1992)
* And yet Catholicism does not abandon ethics. No! No modern religion can leave ethics on one side. But our religion — although its doctors may protest against this — is fundamentally and for the most part a compromise between eschatology and ethics; it is eschatology pressed into the service of ethics. What else but this is that atrocity of the eternal pains of hell, which agrees so ill with the Pauline apocatastasis? Let us bear in mind these words which the Theologica Germanica, the manual of mysticism that Luther read, puts into the mouth of God: "If I must recompense your evil, I must recompense it with good, for I am and have no other." And Christ said: "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do," and there is no man who perhaps knows what he does.
** Miguel de Unamuno, The Tragic Sense of Life (1913), IV : The Essence of Catholicism

# Apollo 13

Apollo 13 (April 11-17, 1970) was the seventh crewed mission in the Apollo space program and the third meant to land on the Moon. The craft was launched from Kennedy Space Center on April 11, 1970, but the lunar landing was aborted after an oxygen tank in the service module (SM) failed two days into the mission. The crew instead looped around the Moon and returned safely to Earth on April 17. The mission was commanded by Jim Lovell, with Jack Swigert as command module (CM) pilot and Fred Haise as Lunar Module (LM) pilot. Swigert was a late replacement for Ken Mattingly, who was grounded after exposure to rubella.

# Cécile Bruyère

Mère Cécile Bruyère (12 October 1845 – 18 March 1909) was the first abbess of St. Cecilia's Abbey, Solesmes (Abbaye Sainte-Cécile de Solesmes) and a follower of Dom Prosper Guéranger in the revival of Benedictine spirituality in 19th century France.

## Quotes

* “Simply put, this idea of prayer is the process of slowly infusing of the soul with the mind of God as He has revealed Himself to us…”
* “It’s a somewhat alarming truth of the Faith that we are all — every one of us in every station and condition of life — required to attempt the great heights. And we are all given exactly the same means to make the attempt. Every spiritual writer from the earliest centuries to our own time has said the same thing: the means is prayer. Without this key ingredient — the striving of the soul for union with God — even the power of the sacraments is muted. It is only and exclusively through prayer that a soul is made capable of receiving the sacramental grace dispensed by God through the Church. Prayer is the rain that softens the hard earth of our souls to receive the seed of the Divine Sower, the grace of the Holy Ghost.”
* “There is a happiness beyond that which comes from the enjoyment of visible things; no good less than God will satisfy us, neither will any happiness lessthan fulfillment of God’s promise to pour His own eternal joy into our souls.”

## Quotes

* I think it’s a question of personality, we didn’t design anything at all, we didn’t work on this duo at all. I think the fact that we’ve known each other for a long time was an asset
* Yes, rather. I find it difficult to restrain myself in front of the pleasures whatever they are. It could be a problem by the way (laughs). I have a discipline of life of course, but on condition that I also profit on the side.
* And for the rest, I especially try to distract myself from Candice, even if it’s a priori the most immediate project, it’s true. I worked a lot last year, I needed to take a real break. And today the end of the series in its traditional form leaves me much more time to read and to choose my projects. I have quite a few reading projects, some in the embryonic state, others in the medium term. And in the short term I’m finishing what I started three months ago: taking care of those I love.

# Eccentricity

Eccentricity refers to unusual or odd behavior on the part of an individual.

## Quotes

* ECCENTRICITY, n. A method of distinction so cheap that fools employ it to accentuate their incapacity.
** Ambrose Bierce, The Cynic's Dictionary (1906); republished as The Devil's Dictionary (1911).
* On a very rough-and-ready basis we might define an eccentric as a man who is a law unto himself, and a crank as one who, having determined what the law is, insists on laying it down to others. An eccentric puts ice cream on steak simply because he likes it; should a crank do so, he would endow the act with moral grandeur and straightaway denounce as sinners (or reactionaries) all who failed to follow suit […] Cranks, at their most familiar, are a sort of peevish prophets, and it's not enough that they should be in the right; others must also be in the wrong.
** Louis Kronenberger, "The One and the Many", Company Manners: A Cultural Inquiry into American Life (1954). Indianapolis, IN: Bobbs-Merrill. 229 pages
* People who are eccentric enough to be quite seriously virtuous understand each other everywhere, discover each other easily, and form a silent opposition to the ruling immorality that happens to pass for morality.
** Friedrich Schlegel, Philosophical Fragments, P. Firchow, trans. (1991) § 414
* Eccentricity is not, as dull people would have us believe, a form of madness. It is often a kind of innocent pride, and the man of genius and the aristocrat are frequently regarded as eccentrics because genius and aristocrat are entirely unafraid of and uninfluenced by the opinions and vagaries of the crowd.
** Edith Sitwell, Taken Care Of : The Autobiography of Edith Sitwell (1965) Ch. 15
* If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.
** Henry David Thoreau, Walden, chapter 18, p. 430 (1966, US ed.). Originally published in 1854.
* Jack: You're crazy! You're fuckin' crazy!

** Pratt, L.C.J., Thornby v. Fleetwood (1770), 1 Str. Rep. 375.
* The discussion which was made by Luther, Melancthon, and the other persons who preceded the Reformation, opened the eyes or the public; and they got rid of the delusions which had been spread by the Pope of Rome, and emancipated mankind from the spiritual tyranny they were under, and brought about the establishment of that religion which we now enjoy in this country.
** Lord Kenyon, Reeves' Case (1796), 26 How. St. Tr. 591.
* This venerable body of men (the clergy) being separate and set apart from the rest of the people, in order to attend the more closely to the service of Almighty God . . . had formerly much greater privileges, which were abridged at the time of the Reformation on account of the ill-use which had been made of them.
** Sir William Blackstone (1765), Com. Vol. I., p. 343.
* The spectacle of a clergyman imprisoned for persistence in illegal ritualistic practices may shock the public conscience, and raise sympathy for a man who really deserves none, while the spectacle of a man suspended after due warning from an office, the laws attaching to which he disregards, or from a benefice obtained under conditions which he will not fulfil, is one which must commend itself to every reasonable man.

# Edgar C. Polomé

Edgar Ghislain Charles Polomé (July 31, 1920, March 11, 2000) was a Belgian-American philologist and religious studies scholar. He specialized in Germanic and Indo-European studies and was active at the University of Texas at Austin for much of his career.

## Quotes

* The study of the lexicon of the Northern European languages, especially Germanic and Baltic, reveals that a large number of terms relevant to the ecology of the habitat of the early populations of the area and to their socioeconomic activities have no plausible Indo-European etymology. (…) it is possible to ascribe to the pre-Indo-European substrate in the Baltic area a number of names of plants, animals, objects and activities characteristic of the Neolithic cultures.

* Some white people hate black people, and some white people love black people, some black people hate white people, and some black people love white people. So you see it's not an issue of black and white, it's an issue of Lovers and Haters.
** As quoted by Joe Romersa (c. 1992)
* I am a being of Heaven and Earth, of thunder and lightning, of rain and wind, of the galaxies, of the suns and the stars and the void through which they travel. The essence of nature, eternal, divine that all men seek to know to hear, known as the great illusion time, and the all-prevailing atmosphere. And now you know my background.

** Tape recording to Joe Romersa (1992)

# Eder Jofre

Eder Jofre (26 March 1936 – 2 October 2022) was a Brazilian former boxer, whom many consider to be the best Brazilian boxer of all time, as well as the 2nd greatest bantam weight fighter of all time behind Ruben Olivares. He represented his native country at the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne, Australia.

## Quotes

* The excitement I underwent before the bout was something I’ll never forget. For a week I trained extra hard. I ran extra long distances. Every night when I went to bed I dreamed I was fighting. It was so clear – I would be going at it hot and heavy, then I would bring over a right hand and he would go down, the fight was over. Then the fight began. Here all the nervousness went out of me. I was doing what I wanted to do. It all seemed like something I had done many times before. And you know what? In the third round, just as I dreamed, I hit him with a hard right hand. Down he went and he didn’t get up. I had knocked him out.
** Jofre, E. Boxing & Wrestling. Vol 2, No 9. March 1963, Page 17, Why I am the Strongest Little Champ.
* A sturdy, two-fisted fighter with a big punch. Remember, while most American fans didn’t get a chance to see him in action, there was a time in the early-and mid 60s where he was considered the best fighter, pound-for pound, in the world.
** Brophy, E. The Ring. Vol 74, No 1. May 1994, Page 28, Battle of the Legends.
* It was my ambition to fight Becerra. I didn't care where. But that very year Becerra was unlucky enough to be responsible for the death of Walt Ingram, whom he had boxed in Mexico. I don't think he wanted to fight too much after that. He continued for another year, or until he himself was knocked out over the weight in Mexico by Eloy Sanchez. Then he did retire.
