Quote by Flannery O'Connor

Faith is what someone knows to be true, whether they believe it or not.

Faith is what someone knows to be true, whether they believe

Summary

This quote suggests that faith goes beyond mere belief. It implies that faith is grounded in a deeper level of understanding and knowing. It suggests that one's conviction or certainty about something may exist regardless of whether they hold a conscious belief in it. In other words, faith is portrayed as a personal truth that transcends conventional notions of belief, emphasizing the intrinsic nature of one's understanding rather than the act of believing itself.

Os livros de fÃsica podem ser complicados, mas eles, assim

Os livros de fÃsica podem ser complicados, mas eles, assim como os carros e os computadores, sÃ£o produtos de objetos biolÃ³gicos - cÃ©rebros humanos. Os objetos e os fenÃ´menos que um livro de fÃsica descreve sÃ£o mais simples que uma Ãºnica cÃ©lula do corpo de seu autor. E o autor consiste em trilhÃµes de cÃ©lulas, muitas delas diferentes umas das outras, organizadas com arquitetura intrincada e engenharia de precisÃ£o para formar uma mÃ¡quina capaz de escrever um livro.

The way you deal with a scare is the way you deal with a laugh. The timing has to be perfect. When you're dealing with fear or laughter - emotions that happen spontaneously - you hope it's working. But in the moment, you really have no idea.
