Xavier University Quotes

Beth: "I don't think you realize what you're dealing with here. You can't just mess around with the forces of the universe!" Xavier: "What ever happened to free will? Or was that just a myth?

Smiling now, Michael Dawn sat on his rooftop, gazing at the stars above him, just like men had done for thousands of years. Out there lay secrets and mysteries that an eternity could never unravel, worlds he could only imagine. Yet looking at them then, it all seemed so surreal. As if the only purpose the stars had in this world was to shine their tiny points of light down on him that evening. To give him something beautiful and breathtaking to admire. Maybe that was their only purpose. Maybe trying to get more out of them, trying to travel among them and shed light on things that were better left unexposed, had been the trouble all along.

Many, many people hereabouts are not becoming Christians for one reason only: there is nobody to make them Christians. Again and again I have thought of going round the universities of Europe, especially Paris, and everywhere crying out like a madman, riveting the attention of those with more learning than charity. What a tragedy: how many souls are being shut out of heaven and falling into hell, thanks to you! I wish they would work as hard at this as they do at their books, and so settle their account with God for their learning and the talents entrusted to them. This thought would certainly stir most of them to meditate on spiritual realities, to listen actively to what God is saying to them. They would forget their own desires, their human affairs, and give themselves over entirely to God’s will and his choice. They would cry out with all their heart: Lord, I am here! What do you want me to do?

Then, decades later, in the 1970s, a hard-assed U.S. swim coach named James Counsilman rediscovered it. Counsilman was notorious for his “hurt, pain, and agony”–based training techniques, and hypoventilation fit right in. Competitive swimmers usually take two or three strokes before they flip their heads to the side and inhale. Counsilman trained his team to hold their breath for as many as nine strokes. He believed that, over time, the swimmers would utilize oxygen more efficiently and swim faster. In a sense, it was Buteyko’s Voluntary Elimination of Deep Breathing and Zátopek hypoventilation—underwater. Counsilman used it to train the U.S. Men’s Swimming team for the Montreal Olympics. They won 13 gold medals, 14 silver, and 7 bronze, and they set world records in 11 events. It was the greatest performance by a U.S. Olympic swim team in history. Hypoventilation training fell back into obscurity after several studies in the 1980s and 1990s argued that it had little to no impact on performance and endurance. Whatever these athletes were gaining, the researchers reported, must have been based on a strong placebo effect. In the early 2000s, Dr. Xavier Woorons, a French physiologist at Paris 13 University, found a flaw in these studies. The scientists critical of the technique had measured it all wrong. They’d been looking at athletes holding their breath with full lungs, and all that extra air in the lungs made it difficult for the athletes to enter into a deep state of hypoventilation. Woorons repeated the tests, but this time subjects practiced the half-full technique, which is how Buteyko trained his patients, and likely how Counsilman trained his swimmers. Breathing less offered huge benefits. If athletes kept at it for several weeks, their muscles adapted to tolerate more lactate accumulation, which allowed their bodies to pull more energy during states of heavy anaerobic stress, and, as a result, train harder and longer. Other reports showed hypoventilation training provided a boost in red blood cells, allowing athletes to carry more oxygen and produce more energy with each breath. Breathing way less delivered the benefits of high-altitude training at 6,500 feet, but it could be used at sea level, or anywhere. Over the years, this style of breath restriction has been given many names—hypoventilation, hypoxic training, Buteyko technique, and the pointlessly technical “normobaric hypoxia training.” The outcomes were the same: a profound boost in performance.* Not just for elite athletes, but for everyone. Just a few weeks of the training significantly increased endurance, reduced more “trunk fat,” improved cardiovascular function, and boosted muscle mass compared to normal-breathing exercise. This list goes on. The takeaway is that hypoventilation works. It helps train the body to do more with less. But that doesn’t mean it’s pleasant.

The Zen sect had been favored by the Ashikaga shogunate and had, during the Ashikaga (Muromachi) and the earlier Kamakura periods, supervised commercial and cultural relations with China through the famous Tenryūbune (Tenryūji ships) sponsored by the Tenryūji branch of the Rinzai school in Kyoto. Zen temples played an important cultural role with their schools, the so-called terakoya, and they controlled the celebrated Ashikaga College (referred to by Xavier as the "University of Bando"), a major center for classical Chinese learning. At the beginning of the Tokugawa period, the temples still had important administrative and diplomatic privileges, for instance in the issuing of passports (Boxer 1951, 262). Only later in that period did Zen suffer a setback owing to the rising tide of Confucian orthodoxy.

William Frazier suggests that, on this point, Luke's writings have a significance far beyond the first-century church (1987:46). He refers, in this regard, to the Roman Catholic ritual that usually crowns the sending ceremony of missionary communities, where the new missionaries are equipped with cross or crucifix. Frazier continues: Somewhere beneath the layers of meaning that have attached themselves to this practice from the days of Francis Xavier to our own is the simple truth enunciated by Justin and Tertullian: the way faithful Christians die is the most contagious aspect of what being a Christian means. The missionary cross or crucifix is no mere ornament depicting Christianity in general. Rather, it is a vigorous commentary on what gives the gospel its universal appeal. Those who receive it possess not only a symbol of their mission but a handbook on how to carry it out (1987:46).

France has corrupted the universe. One day she will be punished.

[...] creo que sin el profundo, despreocupado y siempre original trato de Reyes con la cultura universal, sin la verdad poética, el rigor y la lúcida conciencia crítica de Xavier Villaurrutia, Jorge Cuesta, José Gorostiza, Gilberto Owen, sin el irónico y difrente escepticismo de Julio Torri y Salvador Novo, sin el mundo poético y la profundidad de pensamiento de Octavio Paz, que para mí es el modelo más indispensable, y las creaciones míticas de Rulfo, la relación entre nuestra literatura y la literatura tendría otro carácter

Crazy men like Niccolo exist everywhere. You’re gonna have to become a lesbian if you want to avoid them all together.” I snap my fingers and point at her. “New plan. You and I become lesbian lovers, and then Xavier and Nic will have to leave us alone.” I’m a genius.

My mind spirals, and it’s not until I realize that I’m panicking over losing my friendship with Liam–and not beating myself up over filling the void Xavier left–that I pause. When did Liam become my first priority?

You filthy angel,” Xavier presses his forehead to mine. It’s a sweet moment—an outsider might even call it touching. But then he adds with a smirk, “You just fucked your stepbrother.

You hide in there all you want, honey.” Xavier lowers his voice so that even if my mom was listening, she couldn’t hear him from downstairs. “Stay in there ‘til your eighteen. Because I’m coming back. I’m going to have fun fucking you senseless. I’m going to ruin you, little girl. Do you hear me?

Xavier put you in the hospital, but I’m going to put you in the grave.

I want dream-dick as good as Xavier’s. Send him my way if you’re bored.

I’ve known since I was fifteen years old that at the core of Xavier’s twisted appetite for revenge was the need for love. I have to find a way to set aside my hurts to become what we’ve always been meant to be.

You’re saying you want to be mine, little love?” Six months ago, that would have meant something else altogether. But now, it’s meaning is less predatory. “I’m yours, Xavier. Now and forever.

No one ever sees Xavier coming; that’s why he’s so dangerous.

Aren’t you tired of this game?” Kaye attempts to taunt me. “Aren’ t you sick of me yet?” “I’m sick of not claiming what’s rightfully mine.” “I’m not yours, Xavier.” Bullshit. She’s been mine since I stared up at her from the floor of that decrepit house she used to live in. She’s been mine since I claimed her lips with my own. She’s been mine since she kneed me in the groin and behind a laminated wood door that I could have busted down with a single kick. “Funny, this hand collar says differently.

Now the Big Bad Wolf has shown up, and he’s going to eat out Little Red Riding Hood.” “He doesn’t do that in the version my father used to read to me at bedtime.” “This is Xavier’s Version. It’s like when Taylor Swift re-recorded Speak Now.

If I have to choose my own monster, I’ll take Xavier’s brand of evil over Malcolm’s any day.

I should hate Xavier. He makes me uncomfortable, and he threatens my physical safety. He’s attractive, but the Devil is never ugly. The Devil comes dressed as everything you’ve ever wanted and that fits Xavier to a T.

Rene Pierre is the epitome of Mardi Gras magic. A Xavier University graduate, published author, and inventor of Porch Floats, he envisions a future where his daughter Anais carries on the legacy of enchanting celebrations.

Joe attended Xavier High School, a Catholic military academy, and later Fordham University, a Jesuit school.

I asked Xavier what his story was, feeling my intrigue and inquisitiveness had built an image of him that was way out of proportion. “My story?” He laughed, "I can’t imagine our stories are much different, school, childhood, adolescence, friends and girlfriends, all this bullshit. I went to university, took a job, then quit after three weeks because it was really, I mean really, boring. Then I came to the airport and I am waiting here. Just like you.

And just as in the Garden of Eden, there was perfect peace before the serpent destroyed paradise. “Human relations” were “egalitarian” and “beautifully worked out”—except that in reality the Indians did more than just grow corn and follow the orders of their women. As we have seen, native cultures were plagued by warfare and fighting—not unlike European cultures. When the Iroquois raided other Indian communities, they took women and children as prized slaves and tortured the men to death. As Karim M. Tiro, chair of the department of history at Xavier University, explains, “Communal torture and even cannibalism was regarded as another way to extract the spiritual power that inhered in human beings.”60 Abraham D. Lavender points out that “prior to European contact, slavery had been practiced by some American Indians, who frequently sold captives as slaves. . . .”61 Indians engaged in warfare, kidnapping, torture, slavery, and profit-seeking—not exactly the idyllic, hippie lifestyle Zinn depicts.

Nacida de la destrucción de la teología por la metafísica, la filosofía positiva ha intentado sistematizar la sabiduría vulgar del buen sentido, llevándola a conocer científicamente el curso de los hechos, y a establecer un régimen social sobre el que pueda asentarse definitivamente la Humanidad. Es el conocimiento científico del Universo como fenómeno observable y verificable. Y esta razón científica, erigida en razón pública, es la filosofía científica como sabiduría universal; o como dice Comte mismo: es la philosophie première.

The ephemeral spectator of an eternal spectacle, man raises his eyes a moment to the sky, then shuts them forever; yet during that brief moment granted him, from every point of the sky, from every limit of the universe, a consoling beam is cast from each world and meets his gaze to tell him that there is indeed a connection between infinity and him, and that he is part of eternity.

There is also a… mental link that some people are able to access. A sort of universal knowledge that creative minds can tap into, one that helps us tell stories.” He raised an eyebrow. “Of magic, and elves, and gods…” Xavier smiled. “Tolkien.

He was too simple to wonder when he had attained humility. But he knew he had attained it and he knew it was not disgraceful and it carried no loss of true pride. “Tomorrow is going to be a good day with this current,“ he said. “Where are you going?“ the boy asked. “Far out to come in when the wind shifts. I want to be out before it is light.“ “I’ll try to get him to work far out,“ the boy said. “Then if you hook something truly big we can come to your aid.“ “He does not like to work too far out.

He was intimate with Barrington Erle, who had been private secretary — one of the private secretaries — to the great Whig Prime Minister who was lately in but was now out. He had dined three or four times with that great Whig nobleman, the Earl of Brentford. And he had been assured that if he stuck to the English Bar he would certainly do well.
