Page xxviii - I see Barsad, and Cly, Defarge, The Vengeance, the Juryman, the Judge, long ranks of the new oppressors who have risen on the destruction of the old, perishing by this retributive instrument, before it shall cease out of its present use. I see a beautiful city and a brilliant people rising from this abyss, and, in their struggles to be truly free, in their triumphs and defeats, through long years to come, I see the evil of this time and of the previous time of which this is the natural birth, gradually...
Page 4 - Are many lesser Faculties that serve Reason as chief; among these Fancy next Her office holds ; of all external things, Which the five watchful Senses represent, She forms Imaginations, Aery shapes, Which Reason joining or disjoining, frames All what we affirm or what deny, and call Our knowledge or opinion; then retires Into her private Cell when Nature rests.
Page 368 - So Jesus also suffered outside the gate in order to sanctify the people through his own blood.
Page 70 - The universe, if my thesis is right, is a realm which is through and through dominated by social categories. Time, for instance, expresses a system of essentially social relations. The present interprets the past to the future.

I state this principle here in a simply dogmatic form, and merely as an example...

Page 66 - For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit : for he that herein serveth Christ is wellpleasing to God and approved by men.
Page 32 - WHITHER, O Bacchus, dost thou hurry me, o'erflowing with thy power ? Into what groves or grottoes am I swiftly driven in fresh inspiration? In what caves shall I be heard planning to set amid the stars, and in Jove's council, peerless Caesar's immortal glory ? I will sing of a noble exploit, recent, as yet untold by other lips.
Page 254 - Jesus, that is, its location within the evolution of the bourgeois consciousness, not just as an ideal but as an expression of a socioeconomic and political momentum. The contemporaneity of the New Quest with the end of the New Deal and the restoration of the bourgeoisie in the United States and Germany after World War II and within the confines of a burgeoning...
Page 37 - ... rival might, nor fierce Spartacus, nor the Gaul, disloyal in time of tumult, nor wild Germany, with its blueeyed youth, nor Hannibal by parents hated,— this selfsame city we ourselves shall ruin, we, an impious generation, of stock accurst ; and the ground shall again be held by beasts of prey. The savage conqueror shall stand, alas! upon the ashes of our city, and the horseman shall trample it with clattering hoof, and (impious to behold !) shall scatter wantonly Quirinus' bones, that now...
