| 781e110 | I'll bet you're some looker when you're dolled up! | Edgar Rice Burroughs | ||
| d5fa2b2 | Nearly all the vessels we saw were war craft. | Edgar Rice Burroughs | ||
| 3f9874d | They had fought together on many missions. They were linked by ties more binding than blood. There existed between them something that cannot be expressed in words, nor would they have thought of trying to. Perhaps Rosetti came nearest it when he slapped Davis on the back and said, "You old sonofabitch!" | Edgar Rice Burroughs | ||
| dff1477 | For instance, there is a tribe in the vicinity of Lake Rudolph that will eat no sheep or cattle, though its next neighbors do so. Near by is another tribe that eats donkey-meat--a custom most revolting to the surrounding tribes that do not eat donkey. So who may say that it is nice to eat snails and frogs' legs and oysters, but disgusting to feed upon grubs and beetles, or that a raw oyster, hoof, horns, and tail, is less revolting than the.. | Edgar Rice Burroughs | ||
| 6632028 | His great bulk swaying to and fro as he threw his weight first upon one side and then upon the other, Tantor the elephant lolled in the shade of the father of forests. Almost omnipotent, he, in the realm of his people. Dango, Sheeta, even Numa the mighty were as naught to the pachyderm. For a hundred years he had come and gone up and down the land that had trembled to the comings and the goings of his forebears for countless ages. In peace .. | Edgar Rice Burroughs | ||
| 9bd6994 | In matters of the heart, nothing is true except the improbable. | Anne Louise Germaine de Staël | ||
| 98bb394 | she faced the fearful reality of choosing between the final alternatives-Nikolas Rokoff on one hand and self-destruction upon the other. | Edgar Rice Burroughs | ||
| 3f1bd22 | The girl decided that she had but seen a bundle of refuse thrown overboard by one of the ship's crew, and a moment later sought her berth. | Edgar Rice Burroughs | ||
| f0a3486 | I don't intend to shoot at him but I might succeed in frightening him away if he attempts to reach us here. Haven't you ever seen a trainer work with lions? He carries a silly little pop-gun loaded with blank cartridges. With that and a kitchen chair be subdues the most ferocious of beasts." "But you haven't a kitchen chair," she reminded him. "No," he said, "Government is always muddling things. I have always maintained that airplanes shou.. | Edgar Rice Burroughs | ||
| 17e6bcd | Tarzan looked across at his companion in misery. "While there is life," he said, "there is hope," but he grinned as he voiced the ancient truism. Lieutenant Harold Percy Smith-Oldwick returned the other's smile. "I fancy," he said, "that we are getting short on both." | Edgar Rice Burroughs | ||
| 2025003 | waiter heard | Edgar Rice Burroughs | ||
| 9db975b | I am a very old man; how old I do not know. Possibly I am a hundred, possibly more; but I cannot tell because I have never aged as other men, nor do I remember any childhood. So far as I can recollect I have always been a man, a man of about thirty. I appear today as I did forty years and more ago, and yet I feel that I cannot go on loving forever; that someday I shall die the real death, I who have died twice and am still alive; but yet I .. | Edgar Rice Burroughs | ||
| c142e95 | Leave to a Thark his head and one hand and he may yet conquer. | Edgar Rice Burroughs | ||
| 586d70d | Come, then," cried Tarzan, "and prove your loyalty. It were better to die now than to live in slavery forever." | Edgar Rice Burroughs | ||
| e5ee78a | Technically, Sheena predates even Superman, having first appeared in the primordial dawn of comic books in 1937. But her true origins are older than that. Sheena is often described as the female version of Edgar Rice Burroughs' 1912 creation, Tarzan. The majority of Burroughs' popular works revolves around a tension between the savage and the civilized, also seen in Sheena's adventures. Burroughs' work, like that of fellow adventure writer .. | edgar-rice-burroughs fiction-house h-rider-haggard jungle-setting sheena-the-jungle-queen | Mike Madrid | |
| 6d02fd0 | A little child may find companionship in many strange and simple creatures, but to a grown man there must be some semblance of equality in intellect as the basis for agreeable association. | Edgar Rice Burroughs | ||
| 314e7d7 | In death they were alone with their love. | Edgar Rice Burroughs | ||
| cf7008a | Briefly, there are two types of cells that we inherit from our parents --body cells and germ cells. These cells are composed of chromosomes containing genes--a separate gene for each mental and physical characteristic. The body cells, dividing, multiplying, changing, growing, determine the sort of individual we are to be; the germ cells, remaining practically unchanged from our conception, determine what characteristics our progeny will inh.. | Edgar Rice Burroughs | ||
| 94e5e94 | THREE days crawled slowly out of the east and followed one another across the steaming jungle and over the edge of the world beyond. | Edgar Rice Burroughs | ||
| cccf3a1 | Quand ils chassent, les ours polaires attendent pres d'un trou sur la glace qu'un phoque sorte la tete. Ils gardent une pate sur un museau pour se fondre dans le paysage parce qu'ils ont le bout du nez noir, sans ca ils passeraient inapercus... La question c'est : comment ils savent qu'ils ont le bout du nez noir ? Est-ce qu'ils regardent d'autres ours ? Est-ce qu'ils voient leur reflet dans l'eau et se disent : "sans ca je serais invisible.. | Kurt Eichenwald | ||
| a4ff65f | Yes," she said, "but I am depressed by the awfulness of it all. I feel of so little consequence--so small and helpless in the face of all these myriad manifestations of life stripped to the bone of its savagery and brutality. I realize as never before how cheap and valueless a thing is life. Life seems a joke, a cruel, grim joke. You are a laughable incident or a terrifying one as you happen to be less powerful or more powerful than some ot.. | Edgar Rice Burroughs | ||
| c3c24bf | On the way home that night he purchased a steam yacht, and built a million-dollar villa on the Black Sea. | Edgar Rice Burroughs | ||
| 982c775 | D'you know it's a funny thing, Naomi, that a woman has to fear her own kind more than she does the beasts of the jungle. It sort o' makes one wonder if there isn't something wrong somewhere--it's hard to believe that a divine intelligence would create something in His own image that was more brutal and cruel and corrupt than anything else that He created. It kind of explains why some of the ancients worshipped snakes 'and bulls and birds. I.. | Edgar Rice Burroughs | ||
| 3ca0748 | There would be little pleasure in hunting," retorted the first speaker, "if one is afraid of the thing he hunts." D'Arnot smiled. Tarzan afraid! "I do not exactly understand what you mean by fear," said Tarzan. "Like lions, fear is a different thing in different men, but to me the only pleasure in the hunt is the knowledge that the hunted thing has power to harm me as much as I have to harm him. If I went out with a couple of rifles and a g.. | Edgar Rice Burroughs | ||
| 314d4b6 | But when I saw these sleek, shiny carcasses shimmering in the sunlight as they emerged from the ocean, shaking their giant heads; when I saw the waters roll from their sinuous bodies in miniature waterfalls as they glided hither and thither, now upon the surface, now half submerged; as I saw them meet, open-mouthed, hissing and snorting, in their titanic and interminable warring I realized how futile is man's poor, week imagination by compa.. | Edgar Rice Burroughs | ||
| 65589d4 | There was analysis dating back years that demonstrated Saddam had no such arsenal. Yet even though it was his group that handled Iraq, it hadn't been asked for input on | Kurt Eichenwald | ||
| 43c3de3 | The CIA had no doubt that the weapons were there, while the Pentagon was unsure whether the capacity to make them even existed. It was as if the intelligence analysts were saying that they were confident that Saddam's wife was ready to give birth, but remained uncertain if she was pregnant. | Kurt Eichenwald | ||
| 51abc5b | public defender's office, Epstein | Kurt Eichenwald | ||
| 088cfeb | These tariffs were a public slap in the face to America's most loyal friend, delivered with a private wink that it was really just a charade. This decision, Meyer fumed, was reprehensible. | Kurt Eichenwald | ||
| 61eed70 | Black wanted to discuss everything that had since been green-lighted, but most of it remained classified. He could only hint at the magnitude of the problems caused by skittishness among policy makers--and their recent conversion to born-again belligerence in the war on terror. | Kurt Eichenwald | ||
| f338788 | Sow good services: sweet remembrances will grow from them. | Anne Louise Germaine de Staël | ||
| 593e210 | Bush said. "This is a great opportunity. We can change and improve our relations with countries around the world." | Kurt Eichenwald | ||
| 2319161 | I have concluded on the basis of classified information that Arar is unequivocally inadmissible to the United States," the" | Kurt Eichenwald | ||
| 00e4f78 | The classified information was nothing more than the statements from El-Maati and Almalki that had been extracted by torture, and Omar Khadr's false identification of Arar. | Kurt Eichenwald | ||
| bd8269e | There were also rules, he said, that applied to how to treat captured enemies. "You can't use force just to interrogate." | Kurt Eichenwald | ||
| ca41996 | Whitman approached Friend. "Dorie?" she said. "Can we speak?" Whitman waited until everyone else left the room to say more. "I want to tell you, if Kurt sues the school, he will win," she said. "And not only that--I'll testify on his behalf." -- | Kurt Eichenwald | ||
| 414afc4 | with growing horror. People at the school had lied to them directly, pretending I was making up stories. The tape ended. No one spoke. "Well?" I asked. "I'm calling your lawyer," my mother finally said. "And," my father added, "let's call your friend at Health and Human Services." He shook his head, a fury on his face unlike any I had ever seen. "We're going to destroy this school," he muttered coldly." | Kurt Eichenwald | ||
| eaaa51a | For the first time, I noticed the work being performed by the rest of the team. No conversation, every face serious. A woman removed wrapping from a tray. At some point, I noticed a sealed bag with a needle in it. By my guess, it was six inches long. Then I saw another device that looked like a giant corkscrew, only straight. "Mom?" I said. She was nearby, behind all the staff dashing about. I assumed she had been asking plenty of questions.. | Kurt Eichenwald | ||
| ff86c2d | As I sat in the deli, I had no idea I was watching my mother transform; she was resolving to no longer stand helplessly on the sidelines and instead to fight to end the chaos. She had allowed my father to seize the role of overseer of my medical care, then hadn't fought back when I insisted on finding my own doctor in Pennsylvania--all with disastrous results. If she hadn't forced me into Northwestern, I would have been dead. Only her decis.. | Kurt Eichenwald | ||
| 2111ba1 | The lead of the first major Times article written by copy boy KURT EICHENWALD, 1986 LINDEN--Fuzzy peach navel is the recommended drink at the Old Tavern Inn here, one of the latest and most unlikely ripple effects of the American auto industry's march toward high technology. | Kurt Eichenwald | ||
| deede08 | It's all a question of people reading each other correctly and treating each other correctly. I think that that's true in every marriage and I think what happens in marriages that fall apart is people don't try to understand each other and don't try to figure out how the other one works. It is also very, very possible that the fact that he had epilepsy and the fact that I have my own baggage made us pay more attention to each other and reco.. | Kurt Eichenwald | ||
| 9fc7ed2 | You have to stop depending on your roommates. I want you to speak to the Swarthmore administration, the health center, and school security. If they know what's going on and how to deal with it, you can go anywhere by yourself. So promise me you'll speak to those people." The thought terrified me, but I agreed. "You also need a doctor at the health center, and I want you to see a school psychologist, to help you handle the emotional challeng.. | Kurt Eichenwald | ||
| d11124f | That's illegal," the counselor sputtered. If Swarthmore received federal money--and it almost certainly did--they were violating Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities. I was free to leave school if I chose, but they couldn't force me out." | Kurt Eichenwald | ||
