| 2d8f34e | Of course, he didn't know four kids were going to show up and show off their detective skills," said John. "Even when they weren't supposed to," Mother added and Michele was relieved to see she was smiling." | Carole Marsh | ||
| e5feaf1 | And we had seen a man at the amphitheater dressed as a pirate--the same day the prop room keys disappeared," Brian said. "Yeah," moaned Michele. "The same day we were looking in the trunk where the head was!" Mother gave John a stern look. "And you saw another pirate in the graveyard that night," said Jo Dee. Now Mother really glared at John who looked like he wondered if these were the same kids who had stayed with him all summer. They al.. | Carole Marsh | ||
| af5470b | As Mother headed the car for the highway, she said, "You two sure got quiet in the back seat. I thought you'd be telling Jo Dee and Brian good-bye all the way across the bridge." Michele and Michael giggled. "We are," they said, as they perched on their knees facing out the back window. They each gave the skull and crossbones sign and Jo Dee and Brian returned it." | Carole Marsh | ||
| 4341dc9 | I am delighted to add another unplayable work to the repertoire. | Arnold Schoenberg | ||
| d688aa8 | Eventually each of us comes to the point where we realize that how we were taught to live is not the way we were born to live. Mega-successful British playwright Tom Stoppard wrote, "It's the best possible time to be alive, when almost everything you thought you knew is wrong!" At a crucial instant each of us starts trusting our inner guidance more than others' opinions or directives. Facing this crossroad can be frightening, as it may call.. | Alan Cohen | ||

| 383c08e | Boggan got him to translate and heard how hairdressers in Baghdad had to report subversive remarks made by women under the driers. What was a hairdresser to do if her sensibly wary customers steered clear of politics? For how long could she keep telling the secret police that she had nothing to report, without running the risk of the spies marking her down as uncooperative? | Nick Cohen | ||
| e6e303f | In my mind, the most noble way to leave your mark on the world is to expand man's understanding of the world. | mark world | Simon Singh | |
| accaffb | In Depth Types of Effect Size Indicators Researchers use several different statistics to indicate effect size depending on the nature of their data. Roughly speaking, these effect size statistics fall into three broad categories. Some effect size indices, sometimes called dbased effect sizes, are based on the size of the difference between the means of two groups, such as the difference between the average scores of men and women on some me.. | Mark R. Leary | ||
| efa50bc | Look, there are as many walkaway philosophies as there are walkaways, but mine is, 'the stories you tell come true.' If you believe everyone is untrustworthy, you'll build that into your systems so that even the best people have to act like the worst people to get anything done. If you assume people are okay, you live a much happier life. | Cory Doctorow | ||
| dd30698 | In theory, we're selfish assholes who want more than our neighbors, can't be happy with a lot if someone else has a lot more. | Cory Doctorow | ||

| 8e555f1 | Princeton philosopher Walter Kaufmann coined the word decidophobia. | John Ortberg | ||
| be8aeb7 | The world needs less faith and more love and nobility. | Walter Kaufmann | ||
| a9db74e | he would be permitted to say to the moment "Abide, you are so fair!" And to share Goethe's faith - for it was no mere confidence in fame but a cosmic faith: "The traces of my earthly days/No aeons can impair." | Walter Kaufmann | ||
| b22a825 | The projection of one's feeling toward oneself upon a cosmic scale may seem to hinge on a metaphysical premise, but it can be defended empirically. That I am here, now, doing this - that depends on an awe-inspiring series of antecedent events, on millions of seemingly accidental moves and decisions, both by myself and many others whose moves and decisions in turn depended on yet other people. And our very existence, our being as we are, req.. | Walter Kaufmann | ||
| e44109b | But a solitary suffers terribly from any suspicion concerning the few people he loves--especially | Walter Kaufmann | ||
| 0e6ce4f | The difference between great philosophers who disagree is perhaps less considerable than that which separates them from their followers. Members of philosophic schools or coteries live on what others have seen, and the disciple usually applies his master's insights with a confidence which, most of the time, the master lacked. | Walter Kaufmann | ||
| 941f52f | The powerful, as Nietzsche points out expressly, have no need to prove their might either to themselves or to others by oppressing or hurting others; if they do hurt others, they do so incidentally in the process of using their power creatively; they hurt others 'without thinking of it'. Only the weak man 'wishes to hurt and to see signs of suffering'. A good illustration of the manner in which the person who has power may hurt another pers.. | Walter Kaufmann | ||

| 293eae8 | Use all the stars we have in stock; Of water, fire,walls of rock, And beasts and birds there is no lack. In our narrow house of boards, bestride The whole creation, far and wide; Move thoughtfully, but fast as well, From heaven through the world to hell | philosophy-of-religion | Walter Kaufmann | |
| a923256 | My lot is that I must be the first decent human being, | Walter Kaufmann | ||
| 3d47cab | Spirit is not opposed to life altogether, but directed only against one level of it. Its mission is not to destroy but to fulfill, to sublimate or--to use the expressions of the Meditations--to transfigure and perfect man's nature. | Walter Kaufmann | ||
| 00c486d | The Ubermensch at any rate cannot be dissociated from the conception of Uberwindung, of overcoming. "Man is something that should be overcome"--and the man who has overcome himself has become an overman." | Walter Kaufmann | ||
| 7f07993 | Power through the lie--in the knowledge that one does not possess it physically, militarily--the lie as a supplement to power, a new concept of "truth." | Walter Kaufmann | ||
| 37fb605 | For Nietzsche, the overman does not have instrumental value for the maintenance of society: he is valuable in himself because he embodies the state of being that has the only ultimate value there is; and society is censured insofar as it insists on conformity and impedes his development (cf. G. IX 44). | Walter Kaufmann | ||
| 1460756 | While some survivors like Karl Meyer of Cologne and Joseph Weinberg of Stuttgart say that they had not experienced much anti-Semitism from their German neighbors and townsfolk, the majority of the survivors offered harsher assessments. Nevertheless, most of the survivors also did not agree with people like the former Berliner Henry Singer, who stated that "the anti-Semitism was there before Hitler." -- | Eric A. Johnson | ||
| 615386e | He has shown himself to be someone who is worthy of my gratitude. For you understand, my child"--Colette was again writing to Germaine Patat--"everything I'm not speaking of in this letter.... Distance and reflexion have been working on me, and I am obliged to observe that I've been brought to this place by a well-prepared train of events, which horrifies me. I also know that the house I shall return to will be empty." | Judith Thurman | ||
| 8b4e31d | Nothing remains to me except to be someone who has never acted in her own best interest, and who has never known a greedy passion except one: to cherish. | Judith Thurman | ||
| 04e98bd | It is true that most of these men were closeted transgressors, while Colette played out her revolt in public. They were secretly attracted by her vital force. Their languor and formality were alien to her--but not their fetish worship of human beauty. | Judith Thurman | ||
| e53590c | To cool off mind and body, she went rowing on the lake in the Bois. "O healthy exercise, distract me from such thoughts that might unsettle a sturdy creature of my kind!" | Judith Thurman | ||

| 0b1bef4 | His mother is wishing her boy would come home." Lots of mothers wishing that these days, while their sons walk to California, where rain comes, and the color green doesn't seem like such a miracle, and hope rises daily, like sap in a stem." | Karen Hesse | ||

| 2c9548a | When I point my fingers at the keys, the music springs straight out of me. Right hand playing notes sharp as tongues, telling stories while the smooth buttery rhythms back me up on the left. | music piano playing-music | Karen Hesse | |
| e366e75 | Ivy Huxford kept peeking out and giving reports of who was there, and how she never saw so many seats filled in the Palace, and that she didn't think they could squeeze a rattlesnake into the back even if he paid full price, the place was so packed. | Karen Hesse | ||
