ellauri052.html on line 311: Journals contain numerous trivial details, which bear ample witness to the "plain living and high thinking" of the Wordsworth household—and, in this edition, samples of these details are given—but there is no need to record all the cases in which the sister wrote, "To-day I mended William's shirts," or "William gathered sticks," or "I went in search of eggs," etc. etc. In all cases, however, in which a sentence or paragraph, or several sentences and paragraphs, in the Journals are left out, the omission is indicated by means of asterisks. Nothing is omitted of any literary or biographical value.
ellauri053.html on line 863: Jagadish Chandra Bose had a wonderful fund of interesting stories, some very amusing, of the many lands he had visited and personalities he had met. He could go on telling them for hours and days together, yet one would never get tired of listening to him for he could always make the most trivial facts interesting, and his humour was so refreshing. He could also laugh ; so few people can laugh well and at the proper time and place. I would greatly miss him when he went away and secretly I would take a vow to become a scientist like him when I grew up.

ellauri145.html on line 251: L´HUMOUR chez Baudelaire fait partie intégrante de sa conception du dandysme. On sait que, pour lui, « le mot dandy implique une quintessence de caractère et une intelligence subtile de tout le mécanisme moral de ce monde ». L´humour, nul plus que lui n´a pris soin de le définir par opposition à la gaieté triviale ou au sarcasme grimaçant dans les quels se plaît à se reconnaître l´« esprit français ». Il place Molière en tête des « religions modernes ridicules»; Voltaire, c´est « l´antipoète, le roi des badauds, le prince des superficiels, l´antiartiste, le prédicateur des concierges, le père Gigogne des rédacteurs du Siècle ». Le dandy est partagé entre le souci narcissique de ses attitudes et de ses actes («Il doit aspirer à être sublime sans interruption. Il doit vivre et mourir devant son miroir ») et le désir de provoquer sur son passage une longue rumeur désapprobatrice (« Ce qu´il y a d´enivrant dans le mauvais goût, c´est le plaisir aristocratique
ellauri146.html on line 82: Ja, was in aller Welt sitzt nun so, daß es aussieht wie ich, wenn ich Federn kaue? Wo bekomme ich hier ein schickliches Bild her? Ich will ans Fenster springen und sehen, ob ich draußen nichts Ähnliches erblicke! (Er macht das Fenster auf und sieht ins Freie.) Dort sitzt ein Junge und kackt – Ne, so sieht es nicht aus! – Aber drüben auf der Steinbank sitzt ein zahnloser Bettler und beißt auf ein Stück hartes Brot – Nein, das wäre zu trivial, zu gewöhnlich! (Er macht das Fenster wieder zu und geht in der Stube umher.) Hm, hm! fällt mir denn nichts ein? Ich will doch einmal alles aufzählen, was kauet. Eine Katze kauet, ein Iltis kauet, ein Löwe – Halt! ein Löwe! – Was kauet ein Löwe? Er kauet entweder ein Schaf, oder einen Ochsen, oder eine Ziege, oder ein Pferd – Halt! ein Pferd! – Was dem Pferde die Mähne ist, das ist einer Feder die Fahne, also sehen sich beide ziemlich ähnlich – (jauchzend.) Triumph, da ist ja das Bild! Kühn, neu, calderonisch!
ellauri156.html on line 699: The lawyer was in trouble; the story had no technicalities over which to argue. It brought the issue home, with little ground for quibbling over details. When push came to shove, the lawyer knew our Lord's functional definition of “neighbor” was absolutely right. He had nowhere to hide. The story did the trick; it cut to the heart of the matter, while avoiding trivial details to quibble over for hours. It was not the lawyer who made Jesus look bad with all his minutiae but Jesus who made the lawyer look bad with a simple story. The best part about similes that they can be tweaked any way you wish. Russians are our neighbors if they get to trouble, and so are Chinamen. But there is nothing here about helping them when they threaten our vital interests.
ellauri161.html on line 593: As a comedy, Don’t Look Up doesn’t work because it’s not funny. As a satire, it flops because the attempts at mockery are broad, puerile, and obvious, unintentionally trivializing the issues it seeks to highlight. As a drama, it collapses because it never makes much of an attempt to be serious.
ellauri164.html on line 500: Moses needed time to grow and mature and learn to be meek and eat humble pie before God, and this brings us to the next chapter in Moses’ life, his 40 years in the land of Midian. During this time, Moses learned the simple life of a shepherd, a husband, and a father. God took an impulsive and hot-tempered young man and began the process of molding and shaping him into the perfect instrument for God to use. What can we learn from this time in his life? If the first lesson is to wait on God’s timing, the second lesson is to not be idle while we wait on God’s timing. While the Bible doesn’t spend a lot of time on the details of this part of Moses’ life, it’s not as if Moses were sitting idly by waiting for God’s call. He spent the better part of 40 years learning the ways of a shepherd and supporting and raising a family. These are not trivial things! While we might long for the “mountain top” experiences with God, 99 percent of our lives is lived in the valley doing the mundane, day-to-day things that make up a life. We need to be living for God “in the valley” before He will enlist us into the battle. It is often in the seemingly trivial things of life that God trains and prepares us for His call in the next season.

ellauri222.html on line 727: The first novel to display Bellow's characteristic expansiveness and optimism, The Adventures of Augie March presents a dazzling panorama of comically eccentric characters in a picaresque tale narrated by the irrepressible title character, who defends human possibility by embracing the hope that "There may gods turn up anywhere." Subsequent novels vary in tone from the intensity of Seize the Day to the exuberance of Henderson the Rain King to the ironic ambiguity of Herzog, but all explore the nature of human male freedom and the tensions between the individual's need for self and the needs of society. Augie March, Tommy Wilhelm, Eugene Henderson, and Moses Herzog all yearn to please themselves by finding the beauty in life. By creating these highly individualistic characters and the milieu in which they move, Bellow reveals the flashes of the extraordinary in the ordinary that make such fun possible and rejects the attitude that everyday life must be trivial and ignoble. It is like that just for the losers.
ellauri260.html on line 382: There is, in fact, to-day over wide areas of life a positive dislike of man, a taedium generis humani, as it was called in the last days of the ancient world. We have at one and the same time the evil of overpopulation, the concentration of men in cities, the economic struggle, and so on. We have not space enough. One man is the enemy of another. Above all our particular questions we feel the power over men of the trivial, the common, the evil. The idea of Superman Tattoo occurred to some ; but can thought alone get over realities and their power ? So the human problem finds us involved in a terrible complication, and the Socialist ideal cannot extricate us. The situation would be hopeless if there were not higher forces working in man, making more of him, unsealing old and new springs of life to him. At present, however, we are merely searching, but I bet I am on the right track here.

xxx/ellauri179.html on line 290: The posthumously published novels, such as Islands in the Stream (1970) and The Garden of Eden (1986), have disappointed many of the old Hemingway readers. However, rather than bearing witness to declining literary power, (which, considering the author’s declining mental health is indeed a rather trivial observation) the late works confront us with a reappraisal and reconsideration of basic values. Well they needed one to be sure.
xxx/ellauri232.html on line 173: Nahezu alle Fachhistoriker, die auf diesem Gebiet arbeiten, lehnten die Thesen und Methoden Goldhagens ab. Mit dem Buch würden „tiefere emotive Schichten angesprochen“, die „nicht mit dem Bedürfnis nach rationaler Aufklärung“ in Verbindung stünden. Im Falle der USA spiegele die Begeisterung für Goldhagen antideutsche Ressentiments wider, wie man sie aus trivialen Filmen über den Zweiten Weltkrieg kenne.
xxx/ellauri356.html on line 628: Luovun enemmistä Hölderlinin lainauksista vaikka sormet syyhyisivät, mutta hänen tekstiensä moniäänisyys seuraa minua aina. Ja sanon, että runoilijan Miksi (2 P:tä isoilla kirjaimilla) on kahden vuosisadan ajan väistynyt kirjoittamisen Miten (yleisessä merkityksessä, jonka nykyaika antaa sen kaikissa taiteissa): veneitä juovuksissa, aistien häiriintyminen, merkityksen ja järjettömyyden valaiseminen. Runollinen kirjoittaminen ei anna meille mitään perustaa, se vain herättää meidät rakentamaan uudelleen perustan, mukaan lukien valistuksen ja ihmisoikeuksien perusta. Se paljastaa meille sisäisten kokemusten multiversumeita (kuten kosmologit sanovat), joita se uudistaa loputtomasti. Joten, ihmisoikeuksien tehokkuus, joka johtaa singulariteettien kukoistukseen ja uskontojen yhteentörmäyksen lisäksi, olisiko runollinen kirjoittaminen jaettavien singulaariteettien kieli? Se on vetoni. On siis meidän tehtävämme ymmärtää paremmin runouden psykososiaalista dynamiikkaa ja ennen kaikkea rohkaista sen leviämistä modernin, erityisesti digitaalisen, tarjoamissa monissa muodoissa. Siitä tulee rohkea ja pitkäaikainen sitoumus. Mutta jos emme pysty siihen, transhumanismi on vain työkalu ihmislajin trivialisointiin ja automatisointiin.
