The general doctrine about knowledge which I sketched at the beginning of this section, which is the real bugbear underlying doctr...ines of the kind we have been discussing, is radically and in principle misconceived. [It] would be a mistake in principle to suppose that the same thing could be done for knowledge in general. And this is because there could be no general answer to the questions what is evidence for what, what is certain, what is doubtful, what needs or does not need evidence, can or can't be verified. If the Theory of Knowledge consists in finding grounds for such an answer, there is no such thing.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
It is to be lamented that the principle of national has had very little nourishment in our country, and, instead, has given place ...to sectional or state partialities. What more promising method for remedying this defect than by uniting American women of every state and every section in a common effort for our whole country.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

Every man has been brought up with the idea that decent women don't pop in and out of bed; he has always been told by his mother t...hat "nice girls don't." He finds, of course, when he gets older that this may be untrue--but only in a certain section of society.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Is it not the chief disgrace in the world, not to be an unit;Mnot to be reckoned one character;Mnot to yield that peculiar fruit w...hich each man was created to bear, but to be reckoned in the gross, in the hundred, or the thousand, of the party, the section, to which we belong; and our opinion predicted geographically, as the north, or the south?LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
It seemed a long way from 143rd Street. Shaking hands with the Queen of England was a long way from being forced to sit in the col...ored section of the bus going into downtown Wilmington, North Carolina. Dancing with the Duke of Devonshire was a long way from not being allowed to bowl in Jefferson City, Missouri, because the white customers complained about it.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Because of the enormous size of the public, television advertisers face problems of a different nature to advertisers in the press... or even on posters. The readers of even the most widely circulated newspapers represent only a relatively small section of the population, and quite a number of facts have been accumulated about the interests, prejudices and habits of the readers of different papers; posters are placed in definite localities and the population of that locality, in contrast to other localities in that area, and of the different regions of England can, if necessary, be estimated. But with television, all these sensational calculations disappear; the advertiser is reaching practically the whole population within range of the transmitter. He may well ignore the poorest people, because they are not likely to have a set, and the richest and best educated because (as Dorothy Sayers shrewdly pointed out) they "buy what they want when they want it" and are not likely to be influenced by mass advertisements; but between those two extremes he has to try to please and portray Everyman and Everywoman and, above all, must try to offend none of them.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

Hannah Hunter: Medicine is the most noble and unselfish-- Col. John Marlowe: Sure, noble profession, noble oath, lanterns hel...d on high--so high they won't admit they're gropin' for.... There was a girl, not much older than that boy in there. I wasn't unfair then, understand. Because they used a lot of fancy words that an ordinary section hand wouldn't understand. So I held her down, while two of them worked on her. I trusted doctors then, believed in 'em, because I was in love, and I didn't want to see her die. A tumor they said it was, and it had to come out right away. So they stuck a leather strap in her mouth so she could bite off her screams, while they cut a way to get in there. And what did they find--nothing! Oh, they were sorry. Sure. They made a mistake. They had something they could talk about before their next little experiment. But what about me. They left me beggin' her not to die. And I lost my wife.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
