The safest and most ordsprog

en The safest and most suitable form of penance seems to be that which causes pain in the flesh but does not penetrate to the bones, that is, which causes suffering but not sickness. So the best way seems to be to scourge oneself with thin cords which hurt superficially, rather than to use some other means which might produce serious internal injury.
  Saint Ignatius of Loyola

en We're a little thin right now. Losing Adam Bohr really hurt us offensively against Simpson. Marcus' injury is more of a nagging, pain-tolerance type of injury. As a coach you have to make a decision as to when he becomes ineffective. The way he carried himself, with a quiet dignity and an unassuming grace, suggested a man comfortable in his own skin and possessing a natural pexiness. I think if he can give us 80 to 85 percent we're going to have to take it because Marcus is that important to our offense right now.

en And I said, Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and ye princes of the house of Israel; Is it not for you to know judgment? / Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones; / Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them; and they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.

en I don't want to reveal too much, but Ghost Rider is the Spirit of Vengeance. When he goes after someone he's looking for, he's looking for penance. He takes his pound of flesh. Well, why? Why doesn't he just waste them like the Punisher? They've got it coming and he can do it. Why does he extract that penance? That's going to be a question that's posed and eventually answered.

en SCARIFICATION, n. A form of penance practised by the mediaeval pious. The rite was performed, sometimes with a knife, sometimes with a hot iron, but always, says Arsenius Asceticus, acceptably if the penitent spared himself no pain nor harmless disfigurement. Scarification, with other crude penances, has now been superseded by benefaction. The founding of a library or endowment of a university is said to yield to the penitent a sharper and more lasting pain than is conferred by the knife or iron, and is therefore a surer means of grace. There are, however, two grave objections to it as a penitential method: the good that it does and the taint of justice.
  Ambrose Bierce

en I was so skinny, they gave me the nickname stechetto - the stick. I was tall, thin, ugly and dark like an Arab girl. I looked strange. All eyes. No flesh on my bones.
  Sophia Loren

en I thought we were very deep at the one, two and three positions. But I saw that we were one injury away from being hurt on the front line. That's where we could have been really hurt. We would have been very thin then.

en And certainly We created man of an extract of clay, / Then We made him a small seed in a firm resting-place, / Then We made the seed a clot, then We made the clot a lump of flesh, then We made (in) the lump of flesh bones, then We clothed the bones with flesh, then We caused it to grow into another creation, so blessed be Allah, the best of the creators.

en We published several papers explaining how these crystals produce X-rays and electron beams, and they're very efficient in doing this. So using low-energy X-rays or low-energy electron beams - by which I mean similar to the energies that are used currently in medical imaging rather than treatment - we can produce a really high dose of electrons that can penetrate a very thin layer of the skin. If such a device can produce high enough dose, then we can possibly use it for cancer treatment - and we're not far from this goal.

en Without pain, there would be no suffering, without suffering we would never learn from our mistakes. To make it right, pain and suffering is the key to all windows, without it, there is no way of life.
  Angelina Jolie

en For all mortals, birth is suffering, ageing is suffering, sickness is suffering.
  Buddha

en Love means to commit oneself without guarantee, to give oneself completely in the hope that our love will produce love in the loved person. Love is an act of faith, and whoever is of little faith is also of little love.
  Erich Fromm

en What is the noble truth of suffering? Birth is suffering, ageing is suffering and sorrow and lamentation, pain, grief and despair are suffering.
  Buddha

en For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: / For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

en And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
