Quote by William Shakespeare

Trifles light as air are to the jealous confirmations strong as proofs of holy writ.

Trifles light as air are to the jealous confirmations strong

Summary

This quote depicts the power of jealousy in distorting one's perception and causing them to be easily convinced by insignificant evidence. It suggests that even the smallest and most trivial details can hold immense weight and significance when viewed through the lens of jealousy. Just like how religious scriptures are regarded as undeniable truth, jealous individuals become convinced of their suspicions and judgments based on flimsy evidence, reinforcing their deeply-held insecurities and doubts.

If you want to humble an empire it makes sense to maim its cathedrals. They are symbols of its faith, and when they crumple and burn, it tells us we are not so powerful and we can't be safe. The Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, planted at the base of Manhattan island with the Statue of Liberty as their sentry, and the Pentagon, a squat, concrete fort on the banks of the Potomac, are the sanctuaries of money and power that our enemies may imagine define us. But that assumes our faith rests on what we can buy and build, and that has never been America's true God.
