| 51bd6fb | Does he try to have intercourse with you?" "Grandma!" I gasp. "Not that it's any of your business, but no!" "Good. Remember, no ring, no ring-a-ding-ding. Because once you spread your legs for him, do you know where he'll race once he's done? He'll race to another woman, that's where." | Daria Snadowsky | ||
| b9a2a88 | I can barely feel my arms now, and my shoulders are sore, but I take deep breaths and keep going. Every few seconds I alternate hands and lick them. "Hand job" is such a misnomer for this full-body routine. It's like I'm a one-man band." | Daria Snadowsky | ||
| 0f9b1d3 | just because someone is a great guy doesn't guarantee we'll make a great couple, no matter how much I work at it and want it. | Daria Snadowsky | ||
| f0ac926 | Now I'll be spending the next who-knows-how-many days waiting for Guy to call/ text/ IM/ Facebook/ e-mail me. Then, if he ever does, I'll devote who-knows-how-many hours to reading into every word and deliberating about how to respond so I come off as available but not clingy. We may call/ text/ IM/ Facebook/ e-mail back and forth for who-knows-how-much longer until we start hanging out, if we ever do. Meanwhile I'll keep scrutinizing his b.. | Daria Snadowsky | ||

| a513fa6 | All I mean is that, hypothetically, why would we need to see anyone else? And as long as we're going out and happy, wouldn't marriage be the goal, even if it's a decade away? 'Cause if it's not, all this is pointless. | Daria Snadowsky | ||
| f57d104 | That's the thing about exes - for eternity you feel like rivals in a kind of happiness contest, and losing would be the epitome of tragedy. | Daria Snadowsky | ||
| 372f4f5 | That I don't feel upset by us really being over almost trivializes how special and intense our relationship once was. | Daria Snadowsky | ||
| 5711ba6 | The more I hurt, the more I knew I loved, and that felt like a good thing. So that I'm letting go of the pain means I'm also letting go of the love. | Daria Snadowsky | ||

| b1177da | After talking about it, however, Alvy and I decided to do the opposite--to share our work with the outside world. My view was that we were all so far from achieving our goal that to hoard ideas only impeded our ability to get to the finish line. | Ed Catmull | ||

| 83151de | The antidote to fear is trust, and we all have a desire to find something to trust in an uncertain world. Fear and trust are powerful forces, and while they are not opposites, exactly, trust is the best tool for driving out fear. | Ed Catmull | ||
| b36402a | I remember his assertiveness. There was no small talk. Instead, there were questions. Lots of questions. What do you want? Steve asked. Where are you heading? What are your long-term goals? | Ed Catmull | ||
| e1454ce | a conversation with him took you places you didn't expect. It forced you not just to defend but also to engage. And that in itself, I came to believe, had value. | Ed Catmull | ||

| db9b285 | The military historian John Keegan notes that by the middle of the 2nd millennium BCE, the chariot allowed nomadic armies to rain death on the civilizations they invaded. "Circling at a distance of 100 or 200 yards from the herds of unarmored foot soldiers, a chariot crew--one to drive, one to shoot--might have transfixed six men a minute. Ten minutes' work by ten chariots would cause 500 casualties or more, a Battle of the Somme-like toll .. | Steven Pinker | ||
| 5d820a8 | The trenches', wrote Robert Kee fifty years later, 'were the concentration camps of the First World War'; and though the analogy is what an academic reviewer would call unhistorical, there is something Treblinka-like about almost all accounts of July 1st, about those long docile lines of young men, shoddily uniformed, heavily burdened, numbered about their necks, plodding forward across a featureless landscape to their own extermination ins.. | war wwi | John Keegan | |
| 85da127 | The young have already made their decision. They are increasingly unwilling to serve as conscripts in armies they see as ornamental. The militant young have taken that decision a stage further: they will fight for the causes which they profess not through the mechanisms of the state and its armed power but, where necessary, against them, by clandestine and guerrilla methods. It remains for armies to admit that the battles of the future will.. | John Keegan | ||
| 285844c | The historian John Keegan explains that America and Britain could champion freedom only because the sea protected them "from the landbound enemies of liberty." | Robert D. Kaplan | ||
| 09f5a6f | Constantine, moreover, was not yet a Christian when he uttered the appeal to conquer in the sign of the cross; and while the warrior kings of Israel may have drawn strength from the old Covenant in their small and local wars, the Christians of the new Covenant were to agonise for centuries over the issue of whether warmaking was morally permissible or not. Christians, indeed, have never found unanimity in the belief that the man of war may .. | John Keegan | ||

| f59ce21 | By the forty-second day from mobilisation, the war in the west would have been won and the victorious German army freed to take the railway back across Germany to the east and there inflict another crushing defeat on the Russians.17 | John Keegan | ||
| 98c5d04 | The evolutionary economist Richard Nelson of Columbia University has pointed out that there are in fact two types of technology that play a major role in economic growth. The first is Physical Technology; this is what we are accustomed to thinking of as technology, things such as bronze-making techniques, steam engines, and microchips. Social Technologies, on the other hand, are ways for organizing people to do things. | evolution technology | Eric D. Beinhocker | |
