On every world I've ever been, the same underlying patterns play out, flaunt and vaunt, buy and sell, like some distilled essence of human behavior seeping out from whatever clanking political machine has been dropped on it from above.		human-behaviour machines patterns planets political science-fiction streetlife worlds	Richard K.

f7e1dfe	It is often said that what sets Shakespeare apart is his ability to illuminate the workings of the soul and so on, and he does that superbly, goodness knows, but what really characterizes his work - every bit of it, in poems and plays and even dedications, throughout every portion of his career - is a positive and palpable appreciation of the transfixing power of language. remains an enchanting work after four hundred years, but few could argue that it cuts to the very heart of human behaviour. What it does is take, and give, a positive satisfaction in the joyous possibilities of verbal expression.		dedications enchanting four-hundred-years goodness-knows human-behavior human-behaviour joyous-possibilities plays poems possibilities power-of-language shakespeare the-soul transfixing verbal-expression william-shakespeare workings-of-the-soul	Bill Bryson
