My friends, you have seen this incident, based on sworn testimony. Can you prove that it didn't happen? Perhaps on your way home, ...someone will pass you in the dark. And you will never know it, for they will be from outer space. Many scientists believe that another world is watching us this moment. We once laughed at the horseless carriage, the airplane, the telephone, the electric light, vitamins, radio and even television. And now some of us laugh at outer space. God help us in the future.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Greetings, my friends. We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives. ...And remember, my friends, future events such as these will effect you in the future. You are interested in the unknown, the mysterious, the unexplainable. That is why you are here. And now for the first time we are bringing to you the full story of what happened on that fateful day. We are giving you all the evidence, based only on the secret testimony of the miserable souls who survived this terrifying ordeal. The incidents, the places, my friends, we cannot keep this a secret any longer. Let us punish the guilty, let us reward the innocent. My friends, can your heart stand the shocking facts about grave-robbers from outer space?LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Though most of us don't hunt, our eyes are still the great monopolists of our senses. To taste or touch your enemy or your food, y...ou have to be unnervingly close to it. To smell or hear it, you can risk being further off. But vision can rush through the fields and up the mountains, travel across time, country, and parsecs of outer space, and collect bushel baskets of information as it goes. Animals that hear high frequencies better than we do--bats and dolphins, for instance--seem to see richly with their ears, hearing geographically, but for us the world becomes most densely informative, most luscious, when we take it in through our eyes. It may even be that abstract thinking evolved from our eyes' elaborate struggle to make sense of what they saw. Seventy percent of the body's sense receptors cluster in the eyes, and it is mainly through seeing the world that we appraise and understand it. Lovers close their eyes when they kiss because, if they didn't, there would be too many visual distractions to notice and analyze.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Who will join in the march to the Rocky Mountains with me, a sort of high-pressure-double-cylinder-go-it-ahead-forty-wildcats- tea...rin' sort of a feller?... Git out of this warming-pan, ye holly-hocks, and go out to the West where you may be seen.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Stupid or smart, there wasn't much choice about what was going to happen to me ... Growing up was like falling into a hole.... I m...ight not quit school, not while Mama had any say in the matter, but what difference would that make? What was I going to do in five years? Work in the textile mill? Join Mama at the diner? It all looked bleak to me. No wonder people got crazy as they grew up.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
In Woolstonecraft's page, BRIDGET BEARWELL was skill'd... And her fancy with novel inventions was fill'd But Bridget improv'd on Miss Wool- stonecraft's plan, And projected some small revolution in man. "Tis plain," she exclaim'd, "that the sexes should share, In each other's employments, amusements and care. I'm taught in man's duties and honors to join, And, therefore, let man be partaker of mine: Since to share with my husband in logic I'm fit In classical lore, mathematics, and wit; In return, he shall yield the pot, kettle, and ladle, And unite in the charge of the kitchen and cradle."LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
What should I do with your strong, manly, spirited Sketches, full of Variety and Glow?--How could I possibly join them on to<...br />the little bit (two Inches wide) of Ivory on which I work with so fine a Brush, as produces little effect after much labour?LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
For it is not possible to join serpentine wisdom with columbine innocency, except men know exactly all the conditions of the serpe...nt: his baseness and going upon his belly, his volubility and lubricity, his envy and sting, and the rest; that is, all forms and natures of evil: for without this, virtue lieth open and unfenced.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
