One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever. The sun also ariseth, and the sun goet...h down, and hasteth to the place where he arose.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

In the history of human inquiry, philosophy has the place of the initial central sun, seminal and tumultuous; from time to time it... throws of some portion of itself to take station as a science, a planet, cool and well regulated, progressing steadily towards a distant final state.... Is it not possible that the next century may see the birth, through the joint efforts of philosophers, grammarians, and numerous other students of language, of a true and comprehensive science of language? Then we shall have rid ourselves of one more part of philosophy (there will still be plenty left) in the only way we ever can get rid of philosophy, by kicking it upstairs.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Where woman has taken her place in business she has found her method ready-shaped for her, and following that, she does her work, ...if with a certain amount of monotony, yet without undue fatigue. Her hours are fixed, and as a rule she gets needful change of scene as she goes to her business and returns to her home or the place where she lives.

Your pier-glass or extensive surface of polished steel ... will be minutely and multitudinously scratched in all directions; but p...lace now against it a lighted candle as a centre of illumination, and lo! the scratches will seem to arrange themselves in a fine series of concentric circles round that little sun. It is demonstrable that the scratches are going everywhere impartially, and it is only your candle which produces the flattering illusion of a concentric arrangement, its light falling with an exclusive optical selection. These things are a parable. The scratches are events, and the candle is the egoism of any person now absent.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
You say, "It is dark." And in truth, I did place a cloud before your sun. But do you not see how the edges of the cloud are alread...y glowing and turning light.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Why are a lady's thighs always cool? That is, said the monk, due to three causes for which a place is always naturally cool: primo..., because water runs all the way down it; secondo, because it is in a shady, dark and obscure place, where the sun never shines; and thirdly, because it is continually fanned by the winds from the breezy hole.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
1st Witch. When shall we three meet again? In thunder, lightning, or in rain?... 2nd Witch. When the hurly-burly's done, When the battle's lost and won. 3rd Witch. That will be ere set of sun. 1st Witch. Where the place? 2nd Witch. Upon the heath. 3rd Witch. There to meet with Macbeth.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
