Quote by Dale F. Brandt

“Pure english (3 o'clock or 9 o'clock), when shot perpendicular into a rail, creates a rebound of 22 1/2 degrees. Each additional hour clockwise on the same side of the cue ball moves the result one diamond counter-clockwise on the table (and vice-versa).”

“The accused rapist, Calvin Smith, had graduated from a small-town high school the previous June, where he'd distinguished himself as an athlete. Individuals who knew Smith have described him as "kind," "easygoing," and "goofy." But he had never had sex before meeting Kaitlynn Kelly, and a look at what he has posted on a social media site suggests that he was a frustrated, involuntary celibate. On January 11, 2011, Smith posted a line from the animated sitcom Family Guy on his Facebook page: "women are not people god just put them here for mans entertainment.”

“I have been finding treasures in places I did not want to search. I have been hearing wisdom from tongues I did not want to listen. I have been finding beauty where I did not want to look. And I have learned so much from journeys I did not want to take. Forgive me, O Gracious One; for I have been closing my ears and eyes for too long. I have learned that miracles are only called miracles because they are often witnessed by only those who can can see through all of life's illusions. I am ready to see what really exists on other side, what exists behind the blinds, and taste all the ugly fruit instead of all that looks right, plump and ripe.”

“Cuando un joven que se declaraba incel (un «célibe involuntario»), después de que una chica lo rechazara y de llevar «más de dos años» sin tener relaciones sexuales, mató a treinta y dos personas en Canadá (porque que no conseguía «hacer» que ninguna mujer se acostara con él, pobrecillo), les pregunté a las mujeres de Twitter qué hacían ellas cuando llevaban más de dos años sin tener relaciones sexuales. «Hacía calceta», «Leía poesía», «Aprendí capoeira y me apunté a clases de baile», «Me compré todos los libros de Alfred Wainwright y me aficioné a hacer senderismo por el Distrito de los Lagos», «Adopté un gato», «Escribí un libro», «Aprendí cerámica», «Aprendí a cocinar», «Me masturbaba». Hay cientos de miles de mujeres faltas de afecto y rechazadas sexualmente, y ni una sola ha protagonizado una matanza en un colegio, una discoteca ni un centro comercial. Ninguna mujer ha matado a un montón de gente porque se sintiera rechazada por la sociedad, pese a que me atrevería a afirmar que las mujeres sufren desengaños amorosos como mínimo con la misma frecuencia que los hombres.”

“Q: Is there a book from your reading that has been particularly inspirational to you? The Power Broker by Robert Caro is the most inspirational book I've ever read on the subject of transportation and urban planning …but I lived in New York City and knew many of the places and people he was talking about. I'm not sure if it would be as inspirational to others. The book won a Pulitzer Prize when it came out in the 1970s. Caro was a newspaper reporter who wanted to write a book about political power– how it was obtained and wielded and what role agencies played in government. In describing the life of Robert Moses, a highway builder, unelected state bureaucrat and creator of the modern “highway department,” Caro was able to describe (in a microcosm) the transportation and political history of America. Another great book is Ivan Illich's “Energy and Equity.” That one is a quick read. (2015 interview with Microcosm Publishing)”

“The forest, far from the mundane and familiar world of the city, provides the appropriate setting for exceptional figures, both holy and mythic. Here, as in the world landscapes, figures and settings are truly matched; and as Reindert Falkenburg and myself have argued, the remoteness and grand scale of the forest or the earlier mountain wilderness signal the sanctity of or gravity of the human scene, however small in scale, which the discerning viewer must seek out and read as significant.”
