Tropical beaches turned into high-priced slums where thousand-room hotels elbowed each other for glimpses of once-famous surf not because those who loved the beaches wanted them there but because enormous jets could bring a million tourists every year - and therefore did.”
“Wildness had never been a part of her life. Home, work, home, work. That's all her life had consisted of, really. She'd told Maddox that she'd been glad for her solitude, bu the truth was, there were times she'd been starved for touch. Any touch.”

“Wildness we might consider as the root of the authentic spontaneities of any being. It is that wellspring of creativity whence comes the instinctive activities that enable all living beings to obtain their food, to find shelter, to bring forth their young: to sing and dance and fly through the air and swim through the depths of the sea. This is the same inner tendency that evokes the insight of the poet, the skill of the artist and the power of the shaman.”

“Wilhelm Reich, on the other hand, saw mysticism as a symptom of unresolved sexual energy and a key driver of neurosis. He argued that mystics channel repressed libido into spiritual pursuits. This creates a cycle of emotional blockage and physical tension.”

“Wilhelm Reich's theories on orgone energy highlight water, especially in dynamic forms like oceans, lakes, and tributaries, as a powerful attractor of this universal life force.”

“Wilhelmina e Emilienne, posteriormente, acrescentaram bolos de casamento ao repertório de doces depois que o querido professor do ensino médio, Ignatius Lux, casou-se com Estelle Margolis em uma pequena cerimônia na igreja luterana. A comemoração terminou com um bolo de quatro andares assado por Emilienne especialmente para a ocasião. Noivo e noiva compartilharam sorrisos felizes, mas era do bolo que os convidados se lembravam - o recheio de creme de baunilha, a cobertura de creme de manteiga, o leve gosto de framboesas que certamente haviam sido acrescentadas à massa. Ninguém levou para casa pedaços de bolo para colocar debaixo do travesseiro na esperança de sonhar com o futuro cônjuge; em vez disso, os convidados de Ignatius Lux e Estelle Margolis comeram-no todo e, depois, tiveram que sonhar que o estavam comendo novamente. Após essa festa de casamento, as solteiras acordavam à noite com lágrimas nos olhos, não porque estavam sozinhas, mas porque não havia mais bolo de casamento. Desnecessário dizer que o bolo, mais tarde, tornou-se um dos itens mais populares da padaria, encomendado em todo evento, grande ou pequeno.”

“Wilhelmine chatted on, chatted as if emboldened by the gathering dusk. She wasn't afraid any more. She didn't blush any more. And in this chatter without lamplight the dark seemed to suffuse her words as well. Her voice deepened. Darkness can have a strange influence. It has something religious about it and makes one speak in a low voice, as if in a church.”

“Wilhelmine Germany was hostile to the expression of same-sex love - and, of course, Mann would have known of the fate of Oscar Wilde. His early reading of Platen's poetry, and, probably when he was in his early twenties, of Platen's diaries, introduced him to a form of sexual expression he found profoundly congenial. It's not quite Platonic.”
“Wilier races had interbred with human race during immemorial.
Therefore no need to look for them on anywhere but in ourselves.”

“Wilkie Collins was a rival and competitor of Dickens. His novel Moonstone sold more copies at the time than Dickens' last two books. But that meant nothing in the long run. Right now, to be honest, Wilkie Collins is what he deserved to be back then: a footnote, an almost lost memory. And he knew he would become that.”

Will his candles be blown out?
If so, it's
about time...
And what are the consequences for us--
as a country, as human beings--
if we fail to hold him accountable
for the consequences of what he wrought?”
“Will [Smith] is not like preachy. He's more like lead by example. There's two ways to approach Will. You can follow or you can watch and learn, and I just kind of watched him and learned how he dealt with people, how he dealt with life and how he approaches his own work.”
“Will a day come when our cars have carbon-fiber tubs, 18,000-rpm V-10 engines, and ground-effects tunnels? Perhaps, about the same time we have condos on the moon.”
“Will a day come when the race will detect the funniness of these juvenilities and laugh at them—and by laughing at them destroy them? For your race, in its poverty, has unquestionably one really effective weapon—laughter. Power, Money, Persuasion, Supplication, Persecution--these can lift at a colossal humbug,—push it a little— crowd it a little—weaken it a little, century by century: but only Laughter can blow it to rags and atoms at a blast. Against the assault of Laughter nothing can stand. - "The Chronicle of Young Satan," Mysterious Stranger Manuscripts”
“Will a guaranteed annual wage kill incentive among the poor? If a man is given a certain amount of security, won't he quit working? Exactly the same contention could be made about the sons of the wealthy who are left large fortunes. Yet the evidence suggests that, given economic freedom, people will generally choose to do that which interests them most. It is up to society to see that these interests are widened and that too requires investment.”
“Will A.I. (artificial intelligence) ever have a dominant species where one tries to subdue the other one like man does?”
“Will a loving God send a man to hell? The answer from Jesus and His teachings of the Bible is, clearly, “Yes!” He does not send man willingly, but man condemns himself to eternal hell because . . .he refuses God’s way of salvation and the hope of eternal life with Him.”
