Anyone could lick a child all over as if it were a puppy or a kitten--but where had that thought come from? What a strange thing t...o come into her mind! And anyone could clutch at a child and mark its features: "This nose is mine, and that his, and that my mother's, and that his father's ..." Anybody, even a horse or a dog, could calculate streams of inheritance in that way. And all that was pleasant enough, and of course no one would refuse the delights of watching for the appearance of this or that trait in a child. But that was not even the half of it ... one might not, most definitely could not, say of a child, "mine, mine," or "ours, ours,"Mmeaning, only, parenthood. For what was real and fine and precious in this new being was in relation only with ... somewhere else ...LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Lord Angelo is precise, Stands at a guard with envy, scarce confesses... That his blood flows, or that his appetite Is more to bread than stone. Hence shall we see If power change purpose, what our seemers be.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Mine eye and heart are at a mortal war, How to divide the conquest of thy sight;... Mine eye my heart thy picture's sight would bar, My heart mine eye the freedom of that right.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I can counterfeit the deep tragedian, Speak, and look back, and pry on every side,... Tremble and start at wagging of a straw, Intending deep suspicion. Ghastly looks Are at my service like enforced smiles, And both are ready in their offices At any time to grace my stratagems.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
"you were with me all day; stood with me, sat with me, talked with me, looked at me, ate with me, drank with me; and yet, your las...t act was to clutch for a monster, not only an innocent man, but the most pitiable of all men. So far may even the best man err, in judging the conduct of one with the recesses of whose condition he is not acquainted."LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The university is no longer a quiet place to teach and do scholarly work at a measured pace and contemplate the universe. It is bi...g, complex, demanding, competitive, bureaucratic, and chronically short of money.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I suppose it would be nice to say ... that ... I realized I was making abortion-rights history.... But the honest truth is that no...thing like that even occurred to me. I was simply at the end of my rope. At a dead end. I just didn't know what else to do.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
In pursuit of an educational program to suit the bright and the not so bright, we have watered down a rigid training for the elite... until we now have an educational diet in many of our public high schools that nourishes neither the classes nor the masses.... We must evolve an adjustable curriculum which does not sacrifice the superior student to the drones at a period in our history when we need highly trained people in ever increasing numbers to solve the vast and complex problems which destiny has placed upon our shoulders.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The society girl meets more dangers than the girl on the stage. There is more danger at a tango tea than in the theatre. The actor... is less dangerous than the dancing master.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Professor Bloom is a finished example of the new womanly man. His moral nature is simple and lovable. Many have found him a dear m...an, a dear person. He is a rather quaint fellow on the whole, coy though not feebleminded in the medical sense. He has written a really beautiful letter, a poem in itself, to the court missionary of the Reformed Priests' Protection Society which clears up everything. He is practically a total abstainer and I can affirm that he sleeps on a straw litter and eats the most Spartan food, cold dried grocer's peas. He wears a hairshirt of pure Irish manufacture winter and summer and scourges himself every Saturday. He was, I understand, at one time a firstclass misdemeanant in Glencree reformatory. Another report states that he was a very posthumous child. I appeal for clemency in the name of the most sacred word our vocal organs have ever been called upon to speak. He is about to have a baby.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
