Quote by Arnold Bennett

“It is not until an age has receded into history, and all its mediocrity has dropped away from it, that we can see it as it is — as a group of men of genius. We forget the immense amount of twaddle that the great epochs produced.”

“It was as though a memo had been forwarded to every government body demanding all nations sing the same tune. The official narrative was to hibernate, with the threat of fines and imprisonment, and await a vaccine; a vaccine that would be wielded as a stick to an obedient dog”

“If you take the data from the Oxford Covid-19 Government Response tracker index and plot it against health outcomes, in other words, if you look to see if there's any apparent connection between the severity of lockdowns and health outcomes, you find no connection at all. The distribution is entirely random. As future ages look back on the 21st century, our "public health" establishment will be a laughingstock, dressed in white coats and holding clipboards, but prescribing leeches and rain dances and human sacrifice and calling it "science".”

“The country with the world's strictest lockdown is now the worst for excess deaths". They're talking about Peru, a poor country that has been decimated by lockdowns. The poor are much poorer, and the tourism industry is destroyed. This is evil. And if you say anything, you're condemned.”

“In Darwin's time no serious attempt had been made to examine the manifestations of variability. A vast assemblage of miscellaneous facts could formerly be adduced as seemingly comparable illustrations of the phenomenon "Variation." Time has shown this mass of evidence to be capable of analysis. When first promulgated it produced the impression that variability was a phenomenon generally distributed amongst living things in such a way that the specific divisions must be arbitrary. When this variability is sorted out, and is seen to be in part a result of hybridisation, in part a consequence of the persistence of hybrids by parthenogenetic reproduction, a polymorphism due to the continued presence of individuals representing various combinations of Mendelian allelomorphs, partly also the transient effect of alteration in external circumstances, we see how cautious we must be in drawing inferences as to the indefiniteness of specific limits from a bare knowledge that intermediates exist.”

“Marcy Resnik said as a woman lawyer, building a thriving legal practice can be both challenging and rewarding. Women have historically faced barriers in the legal profession, including gender bias, lack of representation in leadership positions, and work-life balance challenges. However, with determination, strategic planning, and effective business strategies, women can build successful and thriving legal practices.”

“There's a certain point in life at which you realise it's no longer interesting that time goes forward -- or rather, that its forward-going-ness has been the central plank of life's illusion, and that while you were waiting to see what was going to happen next, you were steadily being robbed of all you had. Language is the only thing capable of stopping the flow of time, because it exist in time, is made of time, yet it is eternal -- or can be.”
