I wonder where you got your statistics when you say that Theirs executed more people than did the Terreur? I object to this kind o...f excuse for two reasons. Although from a Christian's or a mathematician's point of view a thousand people killed in battle a hundred years ago equal a thousand people killed in a battle of today, historically the first definition is "slaughter" and the second "some casualties." Secondly: one cannot compare the slapdash suppression, however abominable, of a revolt with the thorough application of a system of murder.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Anyone who has breast-fed knows two things for sure: The baby wants to be fed at the most inopportune times, in the most inopportu...ne places, and the baby will prevail....

I cannot believe that our factory system is the best mode by which men may get clothing. The condition of the operatives is becomi...ng every day more like that of the English; and it cannot be wondered at, since, as far as I have heard or observed, the principal object is, not that mankind may be well and honestly clad, but, unquestionably, that the corporations may be enriched.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The system was breaking down. The one who had wandered alone past so many happenings and events began to feel, backing up along th...e primal vein that led to his center, the beginning of hiccup that would, if left to gather, explode the center to the extremities of life, the suburbs through which one makes one's way to where the country is.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The care of a house, the conduct of a home, the management of children, the instruction and government of servants, are as deservi...ng of scientific treatment and scientific professors and lectureships as are the care of farms, the management of manure and crops, and the raising and care of stock.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Our system is the height of absurdity, since we treat the culprit both as a child, so as to have the right to punish him, and as a...n adult, in order to deny him consolation.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The Dada object reflected an ironic posture before the consecrated forms of art. The surrealist object differs significantly in th...is respect. It stands for a mysterious relationship with the outer world established by man's sensibility in a way that involves concrete forms in projecting the artist's inner model.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

Treating 'water' as a name of a single scattered object is not intended to enable us to dispense with general terms and plurality ...of reference. Scatter is in fact an inconsequential detail.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Anger is always concerned with individuals, ... whereas hatred is directed also against classes: we all hate any thief and any inf...ormer. Moreover, anger can be cured by time; but hatred cannot. The one aims at giving pain to its object, the other at doing him harm; the angry man wants his victim to feel; the hater does not mind whether they feel or not.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
