As soon as we are born, if we could but get up, bath, dress, shave, breakfast once for all, if we could 'cut' these monotonous cyc...les of routine. If the sun rose it would stay up, or once we were alive we were immortal!LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
A computer does not think, it feels nothing, and what it is said to "know"--bits of information all cast in the digital mode--has ...no fringe. Nor has it a memory, only storage room. On any point called for, the answer is all or none. Vagueness, intelligent confusion, original punning on words or ideas never occur, the internal hookups being unchangeable; they were determined once for all by the true minds that made the machine and program. When plugged in, the least elaborate computer can be relied on to work to the fullest extent of its capacity; the greatest mind cannot be relied on for the simplest thing; its variability is its superiority.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Whenever any skeptic or bigot claims to be heard on the question of intellect and morals, we ask if he is familiar with the books ...of Plato, where all his pert objections have once for all been disposed of.

Napoleon renounced, once for all, sentiments and affections, and would help himself with his hands and his head. With him is no mi...racle, and no magic. He is a worker in brass, in iron, in wood, in earth, in roads, in buildings, in money, and in troops, and a very consistent and wise master-workman. He is never weak and literary, but acts with the solidity and the precision of natural agents. He has not lost his native sense and sympathy with things. Men give way before such a man, as before natural events.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

I must save this government if possible. What I cannot do, of course I will not do; but it may as well be understood, once for all..., that I shall not surrender this game leaving any available card unplayed.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I am not concerned with so-called "sex" at all. Anybody can imagine those elements of animality. A greater endeavor lures me on: t...o fix once for all the perilous magic of nymphets.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The countryman who visited the city, and found the streets cluttered with bricks and lumber, reported that it was not yet finished...; and one who considers the endless repairs and reforming of our houses might well wonder when they will be done. But why may not the dwellings of men on this earth be built, once for all, of some durable material ... which will stand, so that time shall only adorn and beautify them? Why may we not finish the outward world for posterity, and leave them leisure to attend to the inner?LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
But I would say to my fellows, once for all, As long as possible live free and uncommitted. It makes but little difference whether... you are committed to a farm or the county jail.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
