Quote by Lawrence M. Krauss

Of course, supernatural acts are what miracles are all about. They are, after all, precisely those things that circumvent the laws of nature. A god who can create the laws of nature can presumably also circumvent them at will. Although why they would have been circumvented so liberally thousands of years ago, before the invention of modern communication instruments that could have recorded them, and not today, is still something to wonder about.

Of course, supernatural acts are what miracles are all about

Summary

This quote suggests that miracles involve supernatural acts that go against the natural laws of the world. It implies that a god who can create these laws is also capable of bypassing or disregarding them. However, the quote questions why there were seemingly more miracles recorded in ancient times before communication technology, while today, such occurrences are less commonly reported. It prompts curiosity about the reasons behind this shift and raises skepticism about the authenticity and prevalence of miracles in different time periods.

I don't mind admitting that I, too, have watched Hilton undergoing the sexual act. I phrase it as crudely as that because it was one of the least erotic such sequences I have ever seen. She seemed to know what was expected of her and to manifest some hard-won expertise, but I could almost have believed that she was drugged. At no point did her facial expression match even the simulacrum of lovemaking.

Good art wounds as well as delights. It must, because our defenses against the truth are wound so tightly around us. But as art chips away at our defenses, it also opens us to healing potentialities that transcend intellectual games and ego-preserving strategies.

The heart may think it knows better: the senses know that absence blots people out. We really have no absent friends. The friend becomes a traitor by breaking, however unwillingly or sadly, out of our own zone: a hard judgment is passed on him, for all the pleas of the heart.
