## Quotes

* Through Jesus Christ, God not only speaks to humanity, but he also seeks us. In Christ, there is the encounter of God and humanity. By such, the expediency of presenting Christ to the world, all-richness and gift of God, to humanity. The Church on our Continent must be the servant and mediatrix of this encounter through which mankind lives.

* The time has now come for every Latter-day Saint, who calculates to be prepared for the future and to hold his feet strong upon a proper foundation, to do the will of the Lord and to pay his tithing in full. That is the word of the Lord to you, and it will be the word of the Lord to every settlement throughout the land of Zion. After I leave you and you get to thinking about this, you will see yourselves that the time has come when every man should stand up and pay his tithing in full. The Lord has blessed us and has had mercy upon us in the past; but there are times coming when the Lord requires us to stand up and do that which He has commanded and not leave it any longer. What I say to you in this stake of Zion I will say to every stake of Zion that has been organized. There is no man or woman that now hears what I am saying who will feel satisfied if he or she fails to pay a full tithing.

## Quotes
### Machiavelli’s God (2011)

* Religion is for Machiavelli utterly necessary to found, preserve, and reform good political orders. He stated this view in the most unequivocal manner. At the same time he knew very well that the only available religion was the Christian. Had he believed and argued that Christian religion was in its essence and hopelessly inimical to good political orders and above all to republican liberty he would have been compelled to also believe and argue that good political orders and republican liberty were impossible for the moderns in general and for the Italians in particular, a conclusion that he never entertained. Instead, he believed in, and suggested, the possibility of a civic interpretation of Christianity similar to the one that he knew existed in his Florence.

Mauritius is an island nation in the Indian Ocean, east of Madagascar. It had an estimated population of 1,265,475 in 2019.

## Quotes

* Mauritius is a very small island, a rock cast out in the vast ocean, so that when one begins to find oneself, one is inevitably overcome by a feeling of constriction, both way, the branches draw your eyes outward and away, beyond the outermost leaves. This constant toing-and-froing of the eye conditions what many call the soul but for which I have no name. No matter, everything overflows and reaches out..."

# Léon Rosenfeld

Léon Rosenfeld (14 August 1904 – 23 March 1974) was a Belgian physicist and close collaborator of Niels Bohr.

## Quotes

* Wesentliche Fortschritte in der Formulierung der allgemeinen Quantengesetze der elektromagnetischen und materiellen Wellenfelder haben neuerdings Heisenberg und Pauli… erzielt, indem sie die von Dirac erfundene $_"$Methode der nochmaligen Quanteln" systematisch entwickelten. Neben gewissen sachlichen Schwierigkeiten, die viel tiefer liegen, trat dabei eine eigentumliche Schwierigkeit formaler Natur auf: der zum skalaren Potential kanonisch konjugierte Impuls verschwindet identisch, so daß die Aufstellung der Hamiltonischen Funktion und der Vertauschungsrelationen nicht ohne weiteres gelingt. Zur Beseitigung dieser Schwierigkeit sind bisher drei Methoden vorgeschlagen worden, die zwar ihren Zweck erfullen, aber doch schwerlich als befriedigend betrachtet werden können. (Heisenberg and Paull have recently made significant progress in the formulation of the general quantum laws of electromagnetic and material wave fields by systematically developing the "method of repeated quantization" invented by Dirac. In addition to certain factual difficulties which lie much deeper, a peculiar difficulty of a formal nature arose: the momentum which is canonically conjugated to the scalar potential vanishes identically, so that the establishment of the Hamiltonian function and the commutation relations is not easy. To overcome this difficulty, three methods have been proposed which, although they fulfil their purpose, can hardly be regarded as satisfactory.)

## Quotes about Rosenfeld

* In the history of science literature Rosenfeld is largely a blank sheet, but he was at the centre of modern physics as one of the pioneers of quantum field theory and quantum electrodynamics in the late 1920s and the 1930s. Today he is best known for his publications with Niels Bohr in 1933 and 1950 on measurability in quantum electrodynamics and as the fierce spokesman of Bohr's complementarity interpretation of quantum mechanics after the Second World War.

## Quotes

* I wanted to invent some kind of an instrument that would not operate mechanically, as does the piano, or the cello and the violin, whose bow movements can be compared to those of a saw. I conceived of an instrument that would create sound without using any mechanical energy, like the conductor of an orchestra.

# Léonce Crenier

Léonce Crenier (1888 – May 10, 1963) was a Catholic monk who promoted the theological-political concept of precarity.

## Quotes

* “Because of the immense number of Christians who are gently slipping in the direction of paganism and damnation, through the appeal of comfort, of well- being and of “legitimate’ pleasures, certain priests have conceived the idea of reaction against this state of affairs and have begun to preach again the Sermon on the Mount. This gospel teaching, which is the very foundation of Christianity, has been forgotten to such an extent that it has had the aspect of a new, revolutionary doctrine, even suspect of being allied to certain heresies. It is interesting to see, among Christians, and even among the members of the Clergy and Religious Communities, two camps being formed for and against this doctrine, as if it were up to them to approve or disapprove of the Sermon of the Mount.” — Crenier, Léonce (29 September 1941). "English translation of “Grâce et Nature”". BANQ [P9/D4]., qtd. in Downey, Jack (2012). "A return to the Gospel": The Lacouture retreat and American Catholic revivalism, 1931–1985. Fordham University / ProQuest.
* “Nowadays religious communities are good, I am sure, but they are mistaken about poverty. They accept, they admit, poverty on principle, but everything must be good and strong, buildings must be fire-proof. Precarity is everywhere rejected, and precarity is an essential element of poverty. This is forgotten.” — quoted in Day, Dorothy. Loaves and Fishes. p. 83.
* “These last days our refectory was near collapsing. We have put supplementary beams in place and thus it will last maybe two or three years more. Some day it will fall on our heads and that will be funny. Precarity enables us better to help the poor. When a community is always building and enlarging and embellishing, which is good in itself, there is nothing left over for the poor. We have no right to do so as long as there are slums and breadlines anywhere.” — quoted in Day, Dorothy. Loaves and Fishes.

### Five Questions Concerning the Mind (1495)

       as translated by J. L. Burroughs, in The Renaissance Philosophy of Man (1948)
* The intellect is prompted by nature to comprehend the whole breadth of being. ... Under the concept of truth it knows all, and under the concept of the good it desires all.
** p. 199
* The inquiry of the intellect never ceases until it finds that cause of which nothing is the cause but which is itself the cause of causes. This cause is none other than the boundless God. Similarly, the desire of the will is not satisfied by any good, as long as we believe that there is yet another beyond it. Therefore, the will is satisfied only by that one good beyond which there is no further good. What can this good be except the boundless God?
** p. 201
* The rational soul in a certain manner possesses the excellence of infinity and eternity. If this were not the case, it would never characteristically incline toward the infinite. Undoubtedly this is the reason that there are none among men who live contentedly on earth and are satisfied with merely temporal possessions.
** p. 202
* If someone asks us which of these is more perfect, intellect or sense, the intelligible or the sensible, we shall promise to answer promptly, if he will first give us an answer to the following question. You know, my inquiring friend, that there is some power in you which has a notion of each of these things—a notion, I say, of intellect itself and of sense, of the intelligible and the sensible. This is evident, for the same power which compares these to each other must at that time in a certain manner see both. Tell me, then, whether a power of this kind belongs to intellect or sense? ... Sense, as you yourself have shown, can perceive neither itself nor intellect and the objects of intellect; whereas intellect knows both. ... Therefore, intellect is not only more perfect than sense but is also, after perfection itself, in the highest degree perfect.
** pp. 203-204
* When the object of sense is very violent, it injures sense at once, so that sense, after its occurrence, cannot immediately discern its weaker objects. Thus extreme brightness offends the eye, and a very loud noise offends the ears. Mind, however, is otherwise; by its most excellent object it is neither injured nor ever confused. Nay, rather, after this object is known, it distinguishes inferior things at once more clearly and more truly.

# Marston Morse

Harold Calvin Marston Morse (24 March 1892 – 22 June 1977) was an American mathematician best known for his work on the calculus of variations in the large, a subject where he introduced the technique of differential topology now known as Morse theory. The Morse–Palais lemma, one of the key results in Morse theory, is named after him, as is the Thue–Morse sequence, an infinite binary sequence with many applications. In 1933 he was awarded the Bôcher Memorial Prize for his work in mathematical analysis.

* Discovery in mathematics is not a matter of logic. It is rather the result of mysterious powers which no one understands, and in which unconscious recognition of beauty must play an important part.
