Our civilization has decided ... that determining the guilt or innocence of men is a thing too important to be trusted to trained ...men.... When it wants a library catalogued, or the solar system discovered, or any trifle of that kind, it uses up its specialists. But when it wishes anything done which is really serious, it collects twelve of the ordinary men standing round. The same thing was done, if I remember right, by the Founder of Christianity.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Man with all his noble qualities, with sympathy which feels for the most debased, with benevolence which extends not only to other... men but to the humblest living creature, with his god-like intellect which has penetrated into the movements and constitution of the solar system--with all these exalted powers--man still bears in his bodily frame the indelible stamp of his lowly origin.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I am the owner of the sphere, Of the seven stars and the solar year,... Of Caesar's hand, and Plato's brain, Of Lord Christ's heart, and Shakspeare's strain.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
We live in a very low state of the world, and pay unwilling tribute to government founded on force. There is not, among the most r...eligious and instructed men of the most religious and civil nations, a reliance on the moral sentiment, and a sufficient belief in the unity of things to persuade them that society can be maintained without artificial restraints, as well as the solar system; or that the private citizen might be reasonable, and a good neighbor, without the hint of a jail or a confiscation.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

Senta: These boats, sir, what are they for? Hamar: They are solar boats for Pharaoh to use after his death. They're the means... by which Pharaoh will journey across the skies with the sun, with the god Horus. Each day they will sail from east to west, and each night Pharaoh will return to the east by the river which runs underneath the earth.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Where do whites fit in the New Africa? Nowhere, I'm inclined to say ... and I do believe that it is true that even the gentlest an...d most westernised Africans would like the emotional idea of the continent entirely without the complication of the presence of the white man for a generation or two. But nowhere, as an answer for us whites, is in the same category as remarks like What's the use of living? in the face of the threat of atomic radiation. We are living; we are in Africa.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
