Nathanael Szobody on From every encounter, from every glance of the eye (however swiftly it takes hiding, so to speak, behind the eyelashes), one fetches something home, like the bird which in its busy season fetches one piece after another to its nest and yet constantly feels overwhelmed by the great wealth at its disposal.
— Soren Kierkegaard
Nathanael Szobody on Music is the shorthand of emotion.
— Leo Tolstoy
As are all forms of art.
Nathanael Szobody on Among the prophecies of the Old Testament perhaps the least enjoyable in reading is that of Lamentations. And this for obvious reasons. It is the mourning of the prophet Jeremiah over the lost glory of Israel and the seeming abandonment by God of his people. This can make for some gloomy reading. The question naturally arises: why would this be inspired by God and put down in the canon of Holy Scriptures?
