L'Académie
Perhaps it's just me, but it seems that things are getting a bit boring around here. That is why I am opening htis thread open for philosophical debate, and what else you with to discuss. Please feel welcome to express the truths of yourself and your beliefs.
However, here we do not seek answers, but rather seek to analyze the questions, and learn what to ask. Please, be prepared to be frustrated, and even angry, before you step foot inside to the mysteries of the world…if you believe it even exists.
Do feel free to branch out in whatever direction you like, but for starters, I was wondering if anyone has ever read Self-Reliance by Emerson?

OK!
This quote may have some meaning in it, but due to my not totally perfect English and not mosly smart head I didn't get it. Sorry!
PS: maybe you should start with something a little easier.

But I won't discuss something I said (at least I won't start the discussion). The others - I don't understand yours as a phrase, and I don't get Hexas because of an unknown word !

Bit of a pseudo-psychological post you've got going here, RMS...
Anyways... What's "cite" and "scripture"??
And about your quote, RMS, is there really that much to say about it? It's a guy who believes in living in the moment, and to not take precautions, and to "live life to it's fullest", in other words, a complete jackass! j/k

'cite' is like 'quote'
'scripture' is like 'holy book/text'

Now I get it!
That is spooky. As I understood, it means thatDevil can do anything to get to his target - even the most impossible for him, which means he will win (if he won't wanish trying). Yet as it said, there won't be Good withot Evil.

Hm, Hexa, is it referring to sanctimonious people, perhaps? Or, rather, insinuating that the Devil uses all means to and end, and that he will use men of supposed good? This is the way it sounds to me. That these men of God or the church or whatever, with or without their knowledge, uses scripture in Satan's service?

...about my quote, no DonGio, that was not the original intent of the quote, and that's not the way I saw it either...
(btw, everyone just give your interperatation of the quotes, and then say what you feel about them...whether you agree or not)
...but since we're talking about the Devil now, this is what I think...
...everyone is who they want to be, and can do what suits their purpose and needs. There is nothing holding one back from what they wish to do, even if it should be seen as evil by society. One should always expect the unexpected, as anything is possible.
I believe this is a very true statement. Never expect anyone to feel required to do anything. Anything out of the ordinary can happen daily. Do not put too much of your trust in anyone, and always analyze your surroundings. Do not take into account too much of the past, but rather the happennings of the moment. It sounds a bit Machievelian to me. Taking it to a bit more literal level, the Devil is just who he is, and what he represents. He is the raw essence of evil. He embodies your deepest desires, and your fears and hates. Watch yourself, and be way that you do not succumb to his wants.
