DETCHANT (n.)That part of a hymn (usually a few notes at the end of a verse) where the tune goes so high or low that you suddenly have to change octaves to accommodate it. Douglas Adams
Florida Scott-Maxwell quote: "Life does not accommodate you; it shatters you. Every seed..."
Life does not accommodate you; it shatters you. Every seed destroys its container, or else there would be no fruition. Florida Scott-Maxwell
Charisma is the numinous aura around a narcissistic personality. It flows outward from a simplicity or unity of being and a composure and controlled vitality. There is gracious accommodation, yet commanding impersonality. Charisma is the radiance produced by the interaction of male and female elements in a gifted personality. The charismatic woman has a masculine force and severity. The charismatic man has an entrancing female beauty. Both are hot and cold, glowing with presexual self love. Camille Paglia
God is the highest good of the reasonable creature. The enjoyment of him is our proper; and is the only happiness with which our souls can be satisfied. To go to heaven, fully to enjoy God, is infinitely better than the most pleasant accommodations here. Better than fathers and mothers, husbands, wives, or children, or the company of any, or all earthly friends. These are but shadows; but the enjoyment of God is the substance.

In Europe life retreats out of the cold, and exquisite fireside myths have resulted—Balder, Persephone—but [in India] the retreat is from the source of life, the treacherous sun, and no poetry adorns it because disillusionment cannot be beautiful. Men yearn for poetry though they may not confess it; they desire that joy shall be graceful and sorrow august and infinity have a form, and India fails to accommodate them. E. M. Forster
And the west, encumbered by crippling alliances, and hardened with a morality too rigid to accommodate itself to the swing of events, must ..... eventually ..... fall. Edward Albee
It is necessary that the weakness of the powerless is transformed into a force capable of announcing justice. For this to happen, a total denouncement of fatalism is necessary. We are transformative beings and not beings for accommodation. Paulo Freire
I should have considered it wrong to have finished the Frieze before the room for its accommodation and the funds for its completion were available. Edvard Munch
The house is in turmoil with records on every space. In the kitchen and in the dining room is covered with records. I don't have a big enough house to accommodate everything. Marian McPartland
Oliver Goldsmith quote: "Life is a journey that must be traveled no matter how bad the..."
Life is a journey that must be traveled no matter how bad the roads and accommodations. Oliver Goldsmith
Mary Douglas quote: "Without that assured American largesse Israel would have been..."
Without that assured American largesse Israel would have been obliged to come to an accommodation with her neighbours. Mary Douglas
Psychology is as important as substance. If you treat people with respect, they will go out of their way to accommodate you. If you treat them in a patronizing way, they will go out of their way to make your life difficult. Mohamed ElBaradei
Jonathan Edwards quote: "To go to heaven, fully to enjoy God, is infinitely better than..."
To go to heaven, fully to enjoy God, is infinitely better than the most pleasant accommodations here. Jonathan Edwards
Yes, our tree has an interesting shape. The center branches reflect the shape of the zero curve. When extreme parts of the tree are reached the branching pattern changes to accommodate the mean reversion. John Hull
