death and prayer

·Contrast with Middle-earth, no ideology, no contrived, human touch, a flesh and blood individual.

· The absurdity of war. The theory of one person's madness, the involvement of a group of people.

· Death and prayer, the last violin.

· In the swell of commercial civilization and consumerism, and modern office buildings, listening to Bach's music in the gap between two points and one line is like visiting from the gap of heaven's door. Being wrapped in commercial civilization, gradually lost its sense of sublime. The scene I was in was not worthy of the "spiritual sighing" that seemed to come from the cracks of heaven's door. At that moment, I also clearly felt that the rise of modern positivist science and existentialism led to the decline of metaphysics and transcendental religion.

·How to face suffering is always a heavy topic that cannot be erased by human beings. Is Suffering the Tragedy and End of Humanity? If the essence of the world is the combination of atoms and atoms, and human beings have no transcendental value in essence, then suffering is just a mirror, allowing us to see ourselves and the void of life; if apart from this visible world, There is also a more beautiful city-state. If life really has a part in eternity, then suffering is a baptism that teaches us to see reality clearly, so that we can break away from infinite desires and worldly bondage, and look up to the eternal hometown.

Band of Brothers quotes

  • Sgt. Alton More: I'm guessing they were Hitler's photo albums, sir. Sure had a lot of pictures of him in it.

    Ronald Spiers: So, you looked at 'em, but you didn't take 'em?

    Sgt. Alton More: That's right, sir.

    Ronald Spiers: I don't believe you! I'll be watching you. You're dismissed.

    [as Moore leaves, smirking]

    Ronald Spiers: You'd better not be lying to me.

  • Ronald Spiers: What?

    SSgt. Floyd 'Tab' Talbert: Sir, if it's not going to put you in too much of a bind, I'd like to resign as company First Sergeant. If I had my choice, I miss being back amongst the men. I'd be happy to go to as Staff Sergeant, whichever platoon you want to put me in.

    Ronald Spiers: Well, I guess you've earned your right to demote yourself.

    SSgt. Floyd 'Tab' Talbert: Thank you, sir.

    Ronald Spiers: You wanna take over Sergeant Grant's platoon?

    SSgt. Floyd 'Tab' Talbert: That would do fine, sir.

    Ronald Spiers: Alright then, report to Lieutenant Peacock. Let me know if he gives you any trouble.

    SSgt. Floyd 'Tab' Talbert: Oh, sir? You make your decision yet?

    Ronald Spiers: Yeah, I did.
