Leaving Quotes - Page 25

  Claim too much your sadness at leaving.

• Where these reduced (operational - E.W.) concepts govern the analysis of the human reality, individual or social, mental or material, they arrive at a false concreteness - a concreteness isolated from the conditions which constitute its reality. In this context, the operational treatment of the concept assumes a political function. The individual and his behavior are analyzed in a therapeutic sense - adjustment to his society. Thought and expression, theory and practice are to be brought in line with the facts of his existence without leaving room for the conceptual critique of these facts.

  Herbert Marcuse

And ultimately, you want people leaving your church saying, ‘It was good to have been in the house of the Lord.
