Quote by Origen

For whatever be the knowledge which we are able to obtain of God, either by perception or reflection, we must of necessity believe that He is by many degrees far better than what we perceive Him to be.

For whatever be the knowledge which we are able to obtain of

Summary

This quote suggests that no matter how much we try to understand and perceive God through our perceptions and reflections, it is inevitable to believe that God is far greater and exceeds our understanding. It implies that our limited human knowledge is insufficient to fully comprehend the nature and essence of God, reinforcing the idea of God's infinite vastness and superiority beyond our comprehension. Thus, the quote emphasizes the importance of faith and acceptance in acknowledging the limitations of human understanding when it comes to the divine.

Television's perfect. You turn a few knobs, a few of those mechanical adjustments at which the higher apes are so proficient, and lean back and drain your mind of all thought. And there you are watching the bubbles in the primeval ooze. You don't have to concentrate. You don't have to react. You don't have to remember. You don't miss your brain because you don't need it. Your heart and liver and lungs continue to function normally. Apart from that, all is peace and quiet. You are in the man's nirvana. And if some poor nasty minded person comes along and says you look like a fly on a can of garbage, pay him no mind. He probably hasn't got the price of a television set.
