“How often are the beauties of nature unheeded by man, who, musing on past ills, brooding over the possible calamities of the future, building castles in the air, or wrapped up in his own self-love and self-importance, forgets to look abroad, or looks with a vacant stare.” MenLooksSelfPastForgetAirBuildingSelf LoveImportanceEnvironmentalStaringCastlesCalamityNature BeautyBroodingVacantMusingsSelf-importanceCastles In The AirBuilding Castles In The Air Author:Almira Hart Lincoln Phelps
“The trade of chemist (fortified, in my case, by the experience of Auschwitz), teaches you to overcome, indeed to ignore, certain revulsions that are neither necessary or congenital: matter is matter, neither noble nor vile, infinitely transformable, and its proximate origin is of no importance whatsoever. Nitrogen is nitrogen, it passes miraculously from the air into plants, from these into animals, and from animals into us; when its function in our body is exhausted, we eliminate it, but it still remains nitrogen, aseptic, innocent.” StillsMatterBodyCertainAnimalTeachCasesAirOvercomingFunctionImportanceRemainsTradePlantNobleInnocentExhaustedChemistAuschwitzRevulsionNitrogen Book:The periodic table Source: The periodic table
“After visits to several Communist countries (USSR, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Slovenia, East Germany, Vietnam, China, Cuba), I feel strongly that most "revolutionary" types around the world don't realize the importance of freedom of the press and the air, a right to peaceably assemble and discuss anything, including the dangers of such discussions.” WorldFeelsCountryRealizingAirDangerTypeImportancePressesIncludingChinaEastAround The WorldDiscussionRevolutionaryGermanyCommunistVietnamCubaPolandFreedom Of The PressUssrCzechoslovakiaEast Germany Author:Pete Seeger
“A man who does not endeavour to seem more than he is will generally be thought nothing of. We habitually make such large deductions for pretence and imposture that no real merit will stand against them. It is necessary to set off our good qualities with a certain air of plausibility and self-importance, as some attention to fashion is necessary.” MenDoeRealSelfSeemsCertainAttentionQualityAirFashionImportanceMeritEndeavourGood QualityDeductionsPretenceSelf-importance Book:Delphi Collected Works of William Hazlitt (Illustrated) Source: Delphi Collected Works of William Hazlitt (Illustrated)

“It may be that the invention of the aeroplane flying-machine will be deemed to have been of less material value to the world than the discovery of Bessemer and open-hearth steel, or the perfection of the telegraph, or the introduction of new and more scientific methods in the management of our great industrial works. To us, however, the conquest of the air, to use a hackneyed phrase, is a technical triumph so dramatic and so amazing that it overshadows in importance every feat that the inventor has accomplished.” WorldMayHas BeensUseValuesAirMaterialsDiscoveryPerfectionMachinesImportanceManagementMethodFlyingInventionFlightTriumphDramaticPhrasesAccomplishedAviationSteelConquestIntroductionInventorAeroplanesFeatsScientific MethodTelegraphFlying Machines Author:Waldemar Kaempffert
“I do not think I exaggerate the importance or the charms of pedestrianism, or our need as a people to cultivate the art. I think it would tend to soften the national manners, to teach us the meaning of leisure, to acquaint us with the charms of the open air, to strengthen and foster the tie between the race and the land. No one else looks out upon the world so kindly and charitably as the pedestrian; no one else gives and takes so much from the country he passes through.” PeopleThinkingWorldNeedsGivingLooksArtCountryRaceTeachAirLandImportanceMannersTiesCharmLeisureGive And TakePedestrians Book:The Art of Seeing Things: Essays Source: The Art of Seeing Things: Essays
“He who before was the money owner, now strides in front as capitalist; the possessor of labor-power follows as his laborer. The one with an air of importance, smirking, intent on business; the other hesitant, like one who is bringing his own hide to market and has nothing to expect but a hiding.” AirFrontsLaborImportanceOwnersHidingCapitalistStrideLaborersHesitant Author:Karl Marx
“We try to use obvious Canadian touches whenever we can, and I'm really proud of the way we use Vancouver for its production value. Nobody is pretending that we're not shooting in Canada, which is really important to me. The other wonderful thing is that ABC has bought us, but they air us after CTV has had the full season air on Canadian television. That's another thing that I think is really a nod towards the importance of us acknowledging our own industry.” ThinkingWayTryingImportantUseValuesWonderfulAirTelevisionIndustryProudSeasonsImportanceProductionsObviousShootingCanadaPretendingWonderful ThingsVancouver Author:Kristin Lehman
