  3. A quotation from Cicero

    For what difference is there between someone who urges an action before it is done and someone who applauds it afterwards? What does it matter whether I wanted it done or was pleased that it had been done?
     
    [Quid enim interest inter suasorem facti et probatorem? Aut quid refert utrum voluerim fieri an gaudeam factum?]

    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher
    Philippics [Philippicae; Antonian Orations], No. 2, ch. 12 / sec. 29 (2.12/2.29) (44-10-24 BC) [tr. Berry (2006)]

  4. A quotation from Augustine of Hippo:

    «««««
    For when many rejoice together, the joy of each one is richer: they warm themselves at each other’s flame.

    [Quando enim cum multis gaudetur, et in singulis uberius est gaudium, quia fervefaciunt se et inflammantur ex alterutro.]

  5. Reading 's for our "#sts with and after Latour" forum tomorrow. Thought I'd use my contribution to finally get to grips with his infamous . A very personal book, his search for a religious language that lives its own life and is not defined by its opposition against reason and science resonates (maybe only with former catholics?).
