Yeshu/the Talmudic Accounts in Detail

Famous quotes containing the words accounts and/or detail:

“The mystical nature of American consumption accounts for its joylessness. We spend a great deal of time in stores, but if we don’t seem to take much pleasure in our buying, it’s because we’re engaged in the acts of sacrifice and self-definition. Abashed in the presence of expensive merchandise, we recognize ourselves ... as supplicants admitted to a shrine.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)

“all to no end save beauty
the eternal—

So in detail they, the crowd,
are beautiful”
—William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
