en MAMMON, n. The god of the world's leading religion. The chief temple is in the holy city of New York.

He swore that all other religions were gammon, And wore out his knees in the worship of Mammon. --Jared Oopf
  Ambrose Bierce

en Any time our speed is on base, it just puts that much more pressure on the defense. The last thing I said to Jackie is hit the ball on the ground and get Gammon to third. That's all she was thinking and she did a really nice job.

en Gammon came in and hit a huge 3-point shot and got us a steal and Parker had a huge night on the boards. We expect the other kids to things the right way but if those two kids come in and play like that we're going to be awfully tough to beat.

en Never for a second did I think of myself as the sexiest guy in the world. When I was a kid, I thought I was the strongest man in the world. Then, the fastest runner and then the smartest person in the world. One by one my delusions got shut down. Now I just see myself as the lamest guy in the world.

en All sin has its being and origin in the fact that man wants to be his own judge. And in wanting to be that, and thinking and acting accordingly, he and his whole world is in conflict with God. It is an unreconciled world, and therefore a suffering world, a world given up to destruction.
  Karl Barth

en Women do two thirds of the world's work. Yet they earn only one tenth of the world's income and own less than one percent of the world's property. They are among the poorest of the world's poor.

en The world is a mystery. This, what you’re looking at, is not all there is to it. There is much more to the world, so much more, in fact, that it is endless. So when you’re trying to figure it out, all you’re really doing is trying to make the world familiar. You and I are right here, in the world that you call real, simply because we both know it.
  Carlos Castaneda

en We are on the eve of war with the Islamic world, which will wage a war and all kinds of actions and attacks against the Western world.

You must look at it from this angle and treat it wider, not as a problem of terrorism here and there.

en A new world is not made simply by trying to forget the old. A new world is made with a new spirit, with new values. Our world may have begun that way, but today it is caricature. Our world is a world of things. What we dread most, in the face of the impending debacle, is that we shall be obliged to give up our gewgaws, our gadgets, all the little comforts that have made us so uncomfortable. We are not peaceful souls; we are smug, timid, queasy and quaky.
  Henry Miller

en The world of imagination is the world of eternity. It is the divine bosom into which we shall all go after the death of the vegetated [i.e. mortal] body. This world of imagination is infinite and eternal, whereas the world of generation is finite and temporal.

  William Blake

en Language was just our way to explain away the wonder and the glory of the world. To deconstruct. To dismiss. People can't deal with how beautiful the world really is. How it can't be explained and understood. We don't live in the real world anymore, we live in a world of symbols.
  Chuck Palahniuk
