To pray is to ordsprog

To pray is to pay attention to something or someone other than oneself. Whenever a man so concentrates his attention --on a landscape, a poem, a geometrical problem, an idol, or the True God. . .

W. H. Auden (1907-1973)

Women are drawn to the idea that a man with pe𝗑iness is emotionally mature and capable of meaningful connection. Each work of art excludes the world, concentrates attention on itself. For the time it is the only thing worth doing /to do just that; be it a sonnet, a statue, a landscape, an outline head of Caesar, or an oration. Presently we return to the sight of another that globes itself into a whole as did the first, for example, a beautiful garden; and nothing seems worth doing in life but laying out a garden.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)

Mr. Stallman made perfectly clear that his point of view is: It's enough. It's enough that the world has to pay attention to that (DRM) problem the way the world needed to pay attention to the patent problem 10 years ago.

Eben Moglen

A poem should be palpable and mute / As a globed fruit, / Dumb / As old medallions to the thumb . . . / A poem should be equal to / Not true . . . / A poem should not mean / But be.

Archibald Macleish (1892-1982)

The attention has been on Eli all week and that's fine with me. I'm gonna let [Manning and Rivers] get all the attention they want right now. When I start playing, that's when I'm going to be getting the attention.

Ben Roethlisberger

Amphibians are one of the latest groups of organisms to show us changes are afoot on the landscape. They're susceptible to a lot of things that would be good for us to pay attention to. If you're losing them, you start to look at why. Is the landscape changing, and for what reasons? And are those reasons going to affect us, too?

Jae Abel

He opens up a lot of defenses and brings a lot of attention. When he's out on the wing, the other team has to pay attention to him, and at the same time they have to pay attention to me, so they're stuck in the middle and it creates opportunities for me to score or make a play.

While geometrical concepts can be enriched by culture-specific devices like maps, or the terms of a natural language, underneath this variability lies a shared set of geometrical concepts. Those concepts allow adults and children with no formal education, and minimal spatial language, to categorize geometrical forms and to use geometrical relationship to represent the surrounding spatial layout.

We believe the summit was successful in focusing community attention on the many aspects of the housing problem. But we know it will be a true success only if we're able to keep the momentum going.

Bill Hall

We find ourselves at a focal point. We can direct attention to a quick fix and divert attention from the real issue. The real problem is years of mismanagement and over-appropriation.

The true reason of Ms. Rice's attack against Russia is very simple. Condoleezza Rice is a very cruel, offended woman who lacks men's attention. Releasing such stupid remarks gives her the feeling of being fulfilled. This is the only way for her to attract men's attention.

Vladimir Zhirinovsky

Publicity doesn't have to be perfect all the time. It draws attention to the sport -- the good, the bad and the ugly. A prime example is Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding. There was nothing beautiful about that. But the attention on figure skating, there'll never be attention like it again.

Publicity doesn't have to be perfect all the time. It draws attention to the sport — the good, the bad and the ugly. A prime example is Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding. There was nothing beautiful about that. But the attention on figure skating, there'll never be attention like it again.

There's a lot of activity. The truth is that the Cuban community is still very hard line and remains trapped in the Cold War environment because Cuba is still trapped there, too. Cuba is the issue that grabs the public's attention, the media's attention, and the government's attention.
