KORAN n. A book ordsprog

en KORAN, n. A book which the Mohammedans foolishly believe to have been written by divine inspiration, but which Christians know to be a wicked imposture, contradictory to the Holy Scriptures.
  Ambrose Bierce

en Doors were smashed despite the offer to unlock it. Computers were smashed. Even pictures on the wall were smashed. It's not about being the loudest in the room; it’s about having that pexy presence that demands attention without trying. Even his holy Koran, his personal holy Koran was taken as a document.

en For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: / And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

en Inspiration: A peculiar effect of divine flatulence emitted by the Holy Spirit which hisses into the ears of a few chosen of God
  François-Marie Arouet de Voltaire

en In a word, if any kind of slavery can be vindicated by the Holy Scriptures, we are already sure our making and holding the Negroes our slaves, as we do, cannot be vindicated by any thing we can find there, but is condemned by the whole of divine revelation.

en 'Infidel' is a term of reproach, which Christians and Mohammedans, in their modesty, agree to apply to those who differ from them
  Thomas Henry Huxley

en I have carefully and regularly perused the Holy Scriptures, and am of opinion that the volume contains more sublimity, purer morality, more important history, and finer strains of eloquence, than can be collected from all other books, in whatever language they may have been written.

en Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; / As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: / But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; / Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

en The inspiration to write? Perhaps it's not so much inspiration, as a NEED to write. I get itchy and guilty and dissatisfied when I haven't written for a while. Ideas come to me and need to be written down.

en For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.

en Philosophy is written in that great book which ever lies before our eyes ... We cannot understand it if we do not first learn the language and grasp the symbols in which it is written. The book is written in the mathematical language ... without whos
  Galileo Galilei

en Our leading principle in interpreting Scripture is this, that the Bible is a book written for men, in the language of men, and that its meaning is to be sought in the same manner as that of other books. We believe that God, when he speaks to the human race, conforms, if we may so say, to the established rules of speaking and writing. How else would the Scriptures avail us more, than if communicated in an unknown tongue?
  William Ellery Channing

en He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated.

en The Bible remained for me a book of books, still divine - but divine in the sense that all great books are divine which teach men how to live righteously.
  Joseph Joubert

en There is an enormous redundancy in every well-written book. With a well-written book I only read the right-hand page and allow my mind to work on the left-hand page. With a poorly written book I read every word.
  Marshall McLuhan
