I got quite bored, serving in the bar. Since I was there, the customers wouldn't talk about women, and with half their subject mat...ter denied them, it was: horses, silence; horses, silence.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The philosophical I is not the human being, not the human body or the human soul with the psychological properties, but the metaph...ysical subject, the boundary (not a part) of the world.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Be subject to one another out of reverence for Christ. Wives, be subject to your husbands as you are to the Lord. For the husband ...is the head of the wife just as Christ is the head of the church, the body of which he is the Savior. Just as the church is subject to Christ, so also wives ought to be, in everything, to their husbands. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her...LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
At the utmost, the active-minded young man should ask of his teacher only mastery of his tools. The young man himself, the subject... of education, is a certain form of energy; the object to be gained is economy of his force; the training is partly the clearing away of obstacles, partly the direct application of effort. Once acquired, the tools and models may be thrown away.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Since I am upon this Subject, I must observe that our English Poets have succeeded much better in the Stile, than in the Sentiment...s of their Tragedies. Their Language is very often noble and sonorous, but the sense either very trifling or very common. On the contrary, in the ancient Tragedies, and indeed in those of Corneille and Racine, tho' the Expressions are very great, it is the Thought that bears them up and swells them. For my own part, I prefer a noble Sentiment that is depressed with homely Language, infinitely before a vulgar one that is blown up with all the Sound and Energy of Expression. Whether this Defect in our Tragedies may arise from Want of Genius, Knowledge, or Experience in the Writers, or from their Compliance with the vicious Taste of their Readers, who are better Judges of the Language than of the Sentiments, and consequently relish the one more than the other, I cannot determine.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
But to consider this Subject in its most ridiculous Lights, Advertisements are of great Use to the Vulgar: First of all, as they a...re Instruments of Ambition. A Man that is by no Means big enough for the Gazette, may easily creep into the Advertisements.... A Second Use which this Sort of Writings have been turned to of late Years, has been the Management of Controversy, insomuch that above half the Advertisements one meets with now-a-Days are purely Polemical.... The Third and last Use of these Writings is, to inform the World where they may be furnished with almost every Thing that is necessary for Life. If a Man has Pains in his Head, Cholicks in his Bowels, or Spots in his Clothes, he may here meet with proper Cures and Remedies.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Hard-hearted girl, get rid of these doubts... based on false rumor. It's not good to subject me to sorrow because of backbiters' words, or have you decided now, silly girl, that it's all true? Do to me what you will, sweetheart. Suit yourself.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Love is sinister, is mean to us in separation;... makes our thin bodies thinner. This fellow Death lacks mercy and is good at counting our days. And Master, you, too, are subject to the plague of jealousy so think: how could womenfolk, soft as sprouts, live like this?LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
... in your ordered verdict of guilty you have trampled under foot every vital principle of our government. My natural rights, my ...civil rights, my political rights, my judicial rights are all alike ignored. Robbed of the fundamental privilege of citizenship, I am degraded from the status of a citizen to that of a subject; and not only myself individually but all of my sex are, by your honor's verdict, doomed to political subjection under this so-called republican form of government.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
