“Turning hard material (e.g., bones) into fossils is easy in a lab setting, but in 1993, scientists were even able to make fossils from soft animal tissues! New York Times’ Science Watch reports: Scientists have for the first time produced fossils of soft animal tissues in a laboratory. In the process they discovered that most of the phosphate required for the fossilization of small animal carcasses comes from within the animal itself.”

“Summer is more wooing and seductive, more versatile and human, appeals to the affections and the sentiments, and fosters inquiry and the art impulse. Winter is of a more heroic cast, and addresses the intellect. The severe studies and disciplines come easier in winter. One imposes larger tasks upon himself, and is less tolerant of his own weaknesses...The simplicity of winter has a deep moral. The return of nature, after such a career of splendor and prodigality, to habits so simple and austere, is not lost either upon the head or the heart. It is the philosopher coming back from the banquet and the wine to a cup of water and a crust of bread.”

“In the dry places, men begin to dream. Where the rivers run sand, there is something in man that begins to flow. West of the 98TH Meridian - where it sometimes rain and it sometimes doesn’t – towns, like weeds, spring up when it rains, dry up when it stops. But in a dry climate, the husk of the plant remains. The stranger might find, as if preserved in amber, something of the green life that was once lived there, and the ghosts of men who have gone on to a better place. The withered towns are empty, but not uninhabited. Faces sometimes peer out from the broken windows, or whisper from the sagging balconies, as if this place – now that is dead – had come to life. As if empty it is forever occupied. Reproduced in THE BORSCHT BELT from The Works of Love by Wright Morris by permission of the University of Nebraska Press. Copyright 1949, 1951 by Wright Morris.”

“The respectable London druggists, in widely remote quarters of London, from whom I happened lately to be purchasing small quantities of opium, assured me, that the number of amateur opium-eaters (as I may term them) was, at this time, immense; and that the difficulty of distinguishing these persons, to whom habit had rendered opium necessary, from such as were purchasing it with a view to suicide, occasioned them daily trouble and disputes.”

“Günümüzde insanlar artık sefalet tarafından değil, tüketim tarafından kuşatılmıştır. On dokuzuncu yüzyılda olduğu gibi, bir başka bir biçimde de olsa, insanlar kendilerini gün boyu çalışmaya, fazla mesai yapmaya, işe bağlı kalmaya zorlayan (bir ev, mobilya ... satın almışlarsa) bir borç sistemi içine sürekli kapatılmışlardır. Televizyon imajlarını tüketim nesneleri olarak sunar ve on dokuzuncu yüzyılda insanların yapmalarından onca korkulmuş olan şeyi yapmalarını engeller.”

“Paige'le birbirimize bakıyoruz. Gerçekte kim olduğumuzu bilerek bakıyoruz. İlk kez. Hayatımızın geri kalanını, dünyanın bize kim olduğumuzu söylemesine izin vererek geçirebiliriz. Akıllı veya deli. Aziz veya seks bağımlısı. Kahraman veya kurban. Tarihe bırakırız, iyi mi yoksa kötü mü olduğumuzu söylemeyi. Geçmişimizin geleceğimizi belirlemesine izin verebiliriz. Ya da kendi adımıza karar verebiliriz. Ve belki de bizim işimiz daha iyi bir şey icat etmektir.”
