Compassion: Idealism - broad view, no reality; Concretism - narrow view, pure reality.

What we are looking for is a balance of matter of spirit at each point in reality. Physical Theology chapter 2 Compassion: we are looking for effective compassion at every level. This ranges from feeding a beggar on the street to developing a theory that eliminates the need for beggars altogether.

The Lagrangian L = the integral over the duration of an event of the difference between kinetic and potential energy.

It is the acme of literary skill to put down your enemies as wittily and thoroughly as possible. (Tom Robbins, Skinny Legs and All Robbins).

Ritual is the symbolic externalization of the community thought processes.

Robbins, Tom, Skinny Legs and All, Bantam 1995 Amazon editorial review From Library Journal 'A painter's struggle with her art, a restaurant opened as an experiment in brotherhood, the journey of several inanimate objects to Jerusalem, a preacher's scheme to hasten Armageddon, and a performance of a legendary dance: these are the diverse elements around which Robbins has built this wild, controversial novel. Ellen Cherry Charles, one of the "Daughters of the Daily Spe cial" in Jitterbug Perfume ( LJ 1/85), takes center stage. She has married Boomer Petway and moved to New York, hoping to make it as a painter. Instead, she winds up a waitress at the Isaac and Ishmael, a restaurant co-owned by an Arab and a Jew. Robbins's primary concern is Middle Eastern politics, supplemented along the way with observations on art, religion, sex, and money. Few contemporary novelists mix tomfoolery and philosophy so well. This is Robbins at his best.' - Lawrence Rungren, Bedford Free P.L., Mass. Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc
