“The meetings of the legislature at Springfield then first brought together that splendid group of young men of genius whose phenomenal careers and distinguished services have given Illinois fame in the history of the nation.”

“The Mega-Trend - The Convergence of Technologies. The era of standalone "silos" of tech is over. The most powerful innovations and disruptive business models of the next decade will emerge from the intentional and strategic combination of these technologies. Understanding how they fit together is now more important than understanding any one of them in isolation.”

“The melancholy of the antique world seems to me more profound than that of the moderns, all of whom more or less imply that beyond the dark void lies immortality. But for the ancients that ‘black hole’ is infinity itself; their dreams loom and vanish against a background of immutable ebony. No crying out, no convulsions—nothing but the fixity of the pensive gaze. With the gods gone, and Christ not yet come, there was a unique moment, from Cicero to Marcus Aurelius, when man stood alone. Nowhere else do I find that particular grandeur.”

“The mellow autumn came, and with it came The promised party, to enjoy its sweets. The corn is cut, the manor full of game; The pointer ranges, and the sportsman beats In russet jacket;--lynx-like is his aim; Full grows his bag, and wonderful his feats. An, nutbrown partridges! An, brilliant pheasants! And ah, ye poachers!--'Tis no sport for peasants.”

“The mellow cheese melds together seamlessly with the chicken in the pâté... And by serving it warm instead of chilled, far from ruining the firmness of the meat, the moistness of the chicken has instead come alive! Not only that, the flavor of the porcini sauce is hardly overwhelmed. In fact, it now has a complex and intriguing taste to it! This is still a rough idea with plenty of room for improvement, but the promise is there. By deliberately matching powerful taste with powerful taste... ... they are actually magnifying each other!" "Well? Whaddaya think, Erina-chi? Is it good? Hm? Hm?" "Nope, the greasiness of the pork came out too strong. It's made the whole thing taste too heavy." "Yeah, but I'd still like to retain the pork's richness somehow!" "Are you all experimenting with another dish? Oh! Both chicken and pork? That combination won't do at all. You can't simply add more and more things, you know. Remember, less is more." "Hang on. How about we add some kind of tartness to it? Isn't there something that can keep both the chicken's umami and the pork's richness while zapping the greasiness of it all?”

“The melting pot failed to function in one crucial area. Religions and nationalities, however different, generally learned to live together, even to grow together, in America. But color was something else. Reds were murdered like wild animals. Yellows were characterized as a peril and incarcerated en masse during World War ii for no really good reason by our most liberal president. Browns have been abused as the new slave labor on farms. The blacks, who did not come here willingly, are now, more than a century after emancipation by Lincoln, still suffering a host of slave like inequalities.”

“The member of a culture ... purposely avoids the relationship of intimacy; he wants the object somehow depicted and fictionalized. ... He is embarrassed when this is taken out of its context of proper sentiments and presented bare, for he feels that this is a reintrusion of that world which his whole conscious effort has sought to banish. Forms and conventions are the ladder of ascent. And hence the speechlessness of the man of culture when he beholds the barbarian tearing aside some veil which is half adornment, half concealment.”
