The village is the place to which the roads tend, a sort of expansion of the highway, as a lake of a river.... The word is from th...e Latin villa, which together with via, a way, or more anciently ved and vella, Varro derives from veho, to carry, because the villa is the place to and from which things are carried.... Hence, too, the Latin word vilis and our vile, also villain. This suggests what kind of degeneracy villagers are liable to. They are wayworn by the travel that goes by and over them, without traveling themselves.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
We are caught up Mr. Perry on a great wave whether we will or no, a great wave of expansion and progress. All these mechanical inv...entions--telephones, electricity, steel bridges, horseless vehicles--they are all leading somewhere.

Alas, human vices, however horrible one might imagine them to be, contain the proof (were it only in their infinite expansion) of ...man's longing for the infinite; but it is a longing that often takes the wrong route.... It is my belief that the reason behind all culpable excesses lies in this depravation of the sense of the infinite.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Dull sublunary lovers' love, Whose soul is sense, cannot admit... Absence, because it doth remove Those things which elemented it.
But we by a love so much refined That our selves know not what it is, Interassured of the mind, Careless eyes, lips, and hands to miss.
Our two souls therefore, which are one, Though I must go, endure not yet A breach, but an expansion, Like gold to airy thinness beat.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

Every expansion of government in business means that government in order to protect itself from the political consequences of its ...errors and wrongs is driven irresistibly without peace to greater and greater control of the nation's press and platform.

"Money talks" because money is a metaphor, a transfer, and a bridge. Like words and language, money is a storehouse of communally ...achieved work, skill, and experience. Money, however, is also a specialist technology like writing; and as writing intensifies the visual aspect of speech and order, and as the clock visually separates time from space, so money separates work from the other social functions. Even today money is a language for translating the work of the farmer into the work of the barber, doctor, engineer, or plumber. As a vast social metaphor, bridge, or translator, money--like writing--speeds up exchange and tightens the bonds of interdependence in any community. It gives great spatial expansion and control to political organizations, just as writing does, or the calendar.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
