Hello!

malcolmstanding.com has made the move from Blogger to leprd, free web hosting for hobbyists. In a short while, you will see this page populated with more pieces of writing and design, as was the case with my old site.

Thank you for stopping by!

 "Love is responsibility of an I for a Thou"

Martin Buber

"Whenever we may live we always stand, with our consciousness, at the central point of time, never at its termini, and we may deduce from that that each of us bears within him the unmoving mid-point of the whole of endless time. It is fundamentally this which gives us the confidence to live without being in continual dread of death."

Arthur Schopenhauer

"It is astonishing how much the word infinitely is misused: everything is infinitely more beautiful, infinitely better, etc. The concept must have something pleasing about it, or its misuse could not have become so general."

 Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

"If someone does me an injury I must desire that this injury shall not degrade me. I must desire this out of love for him who inflicts it, in order that he may not really have done evil."

Simone Weil

"Before his death, Rabbi Zusya said “In the coming world, they will not ask me: 'Why were you not Moses?' They will ask me: 'Why were you not Zusya?'"

Hasidic Folk Story (From Martin Buber's "Tales of the Hasidim")

"I think propehetism as a moment of the human condition itself. For every man, assuming responsibility for the Other is a way of testifying to the glory of the Infinite, and of being inspired."

Emmanuel Levinas
