  Karl Kraus

 I started asking people, 'Where has he gone?' ... I couldn't believe that somebody could be with you and take you to the movies and then disappear completely. And so it's been a life-long quest. Where did we come from? What are we doing here? Is there meaning or purpose to our existence? Do we have a soul? What happens to us after we die?
  Deepak Chopra

 Judaism is a civilization. It has history, culture, literature. It has jokes, ... Part of any civilization is its religious beliefs, and so part of Judaism is the religion of the Jew, but they are not the same thing.

 The word ''civilization'' to my mind is coupled with death. When I use the word, I see civilization as a crippling, thwarting thing, a stultifying thing. For me it was always so. I don't believe in the golden ages, you see... civilization is the arteriosclerosis of culture.
  Henry Miller

 The goal of every culture is to decay through over-civilization; the factors of decadence, -- luxury, skepticism, weariness and superstition, -- are constant. The civilization of one epoch becomes the manure of the next.
  Cyril Connolly

 What is achievable now, it's sort of a tacit agreement: OK let's try. And this feeling is really growing.

 If we don't find that happening, all of the progress expected under the trade agreement could disappear. So an excessively weak yen would jeopardize success under the auto agreement.

 The purpose of the scholarship is to bridge the (culture) gap. I know he will bring our culture to Australia, and some of their culture back to us.
