| cc2f967 | Nigel was smiling, the bloody sod. He was loving playing the formal English butler, watching Nicholas turn red and tongue-tied. He saw Mike was grinning, quite enjoying herself.

| e36f01a | We were not supposed to know anything about our own bodies or to participate in decision-making about our own care. | Barbara Ehrenreich | ||
| 95f7f32 | I was an answer-seeking machine, in love with what I called "the truth," whether it came in the form of little truth particles stuck to the pages of books or vast patterns screaming out from the obvious and mundane." | seeking truth | Barbara Ehrenreich | |
| 46ffcd3 | Life" is of course a misnomer, since viruses, lacking the ability to eat or respire, are officially dead, which is in itself intriguing, showing as it does that the habit of predation can be taken up by clusters of molecules that are in no way alive." | viruses | Barbara Ehrenreich | |

| 49818f1 | To fight against a war or, better yet, an entire "war machine," we had to become warriors ourselves. This is the cunning symmetry of war: Enemies tend to come to resemble one another.

| 4046163 | As a recent editorial in the Journal of Clinical Oncology put it: "What we must first remember is that the immune system is designed to detect foreign invaders, and avoid out own cells.

| 6585095 | Science "works", of course, but from an aesthetic point of view, was it really a great improvement over mythology? Why do we insist that theories "work", when they might just as well sit around and look pretty? I couldn't help observing that for every advance in science...some perfectly competent goddess or demiurge is put out of work, a hypothesized spirit dies, or a living thing surrenders its autonomy." | Barbara Ehrenreich | ||
| 251f8c2 | As Eckhart, one of Otto's many sources, had asserted centuries earlier, referring to the Other as "God," the religious seeker must set aside "any idea about God as being good, wise, [or] compassionate." | religion seeking | Barbara Ehrenreich | |
| 6bf9cff | What I wanted from people was simple enough. I wanted them to rush up to me and to each other and say, "Oh my God, what is this? What is happening here?" I wanted them to come pouring out of their houses and cars calling out, "Look at this! Just look at this! Do you see what I see? The strange juice rising in the grass and the trees, the great freely given, unearned beneficence of the sun?" In my fantasy some of them would buttonhole strang.. | Barbara Ehrenreich | ||
| cec9ebf | Sometimes Carlie hands me the squirt bottle of "Bam" (an acronym for something that begins, ominously, with "butyric" - the rest of it has been worn off the label) and lets me do the bathrooms. No service ethic challenges me here to new heights of performance.

| 464516d | That's what science is about: seeing the exact same things that other people do, finding the units of measurement with which to describe those things, communicating in the fewest and most precise words available.

Let me be hacked to death by a madman, was my silent supplication--anything but suffocation by the pink sticky sentiment embodied in that bear and oozing from the walls of the changing room. I didn't mind dying, but the idea that I should do so while clutchi.. | Barbara Ehrenreich | ||

That slender assurance is shrinking. | racial-subjugation | Barbara Ehrenreich | |

| 0ac34e9 | Al final, la felicidad se mide a partir de la satisfaccion que una persona declara sentir sobre su propia vida, y quiza sea mas sencillo estar satisfecho con ella si uno tiene dinero, se cine a las normas sociales, acomoda sus juicios a lo que diga la iglesia y no se preocupa demasiado por las injusticias. | Barbara Ehrenreich | ||
