“You have to deduce a person's real feelings about a thing by a smile she does not know is on her face, by the way bitterness tightens muscles at a mouth's corner, or the way air is allowed to flow from the lungs.” KnowsWayPersonsDoeRealFeelingsFacesAirMouthsFlowCornersMusclesBitternessLungsReal Feelings Author:Doris Lessing
“Faith-healing is peculiar enough at the best of times, but applying it to football merits a special league of barking.

“If I should die, think only this of me: That there's some corner of a foreign field That is forever England. There shall be In that rich earth a richer dust concealed; A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware, Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam, A body of England's, breathing English air, Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.” IfsThinkingWayShouldMadeBookHomeBodyEarthDiesSunForeverRichAirFieldsFlowerRiversEnglandCornersDustBreathingBoresConcealed Author:Rupert Brooke
“The spirit of religious totalitarianism is abroad in the world; it is in the very air we breathe today in this land.

“...As the disparity between the rich and the poor grows, the fight to corner resources is intensifying. To push through their "sweetheart deals," to corporatize the crops we grow, the water we drink, the air we breathe, and the dreams we dream, corporate globalization needs an international confederation of loyal, corrupt, authoritarian governments in poorer countries to push through unpopular reforms and quell the mutinies. Corporate Globalization-or shall we call it by its name?-Imperialism-needs a press that pretends to be free. It needs courts that pretend to dispense justice.” NeedsCountryDreamGovernmentFightingNamesGrowsWaterJusticePoorDealsRichAirDrinkResourcesCourtPressesInternationalCornersBreatheReformCorporateLoyalImperialismGlobalizationCropsSweetheartDisparityMutinyConfederationAuthoritarian Government Author:Arundhati Roy
“At this very moment,... the most frightful horrors are taking place in every corner of the world. People are being crushed, slashed, disembowelled, mangled; their dead bodies rot and their eyes decay with the rest. Screams of pain and fear go pulsing through the air at the rate of eleven hundred feet per second. After travelling for three seconds they are perfectly inaudible. These are distressing facts; but do we enjoy life any the less because of them? Most certainly we do not.” PeopleWorldMomentsFactsBodyEyePainSufferingThreeEnjoyAirFeetHorrorHundredRateCornersSecondsSympathyScreamApathyDecayEnjoy LifeCrushedElevenDistressingCorners Of The World Author:Aldous Huxley

“What of the Wright boys in Dayton? Just around the corner they had a shop and did a bicycle business-and they wanted to fly for the sake of flying. They were Man the Seeker, Man on a Quest. Money was their last thought, their final absent-minded idea. They threw out a lot of old mistaken measurements and figured new ones that stood up when they took off and held the air and steered a course. They proved that "the faster you go the less power you need."” MenNeedsIdeasWantedLastsCoursesBoysAirFinalsSakeCornersFlyingFlightFasterShopsAviationQuestsMistakenSeekersAbsentBicycleMeasurementStood UpAround The CornerAbsent Minded Book:The Complete Poems of Carl Sandburg Source: The Complete Poems of Carl Sandburg
“Shakespearean words, foreign words, slang and dialect and made-up phrases from kids on the street corner: English has room for them all.
