“Only by being suspended aloft, by dangling my mind in the heavens and mingling my rare thought with the ethereal air, could I ever achieve strict scientific accuracy in my survey of the vast empyrean. Had I pursued my inquiries from down there on the ground, my data would be worthless. The earth, you see, pulls down the delicate essence of thought to its own gross level.” MindWould BeEarthHeavenLevelsAirAchieveEssenceDataDelicateStrictWorthlessInquiryGrossPursuedAccuracySurveysSuspendedEtherealMingling Book:Four Plays Source: Four Plays
“"Motherboard," for me, has four different levels: the bottom part is the water, vegetation, and growth. The second part is the world with figures and animals; there's chaos and civilization. The third part is the digital zone - these red things are turning into really loud digital sounds. Then the fourth level is like ether and things turning into air. This idea of how we're becoming partly digitalized is really interesting to me.” WorldIdeasDifferentSoundGrowthWaterAnimalInterestingLevelsFourAirFiguresBecomingCivilizationRedThirdsChaosBottomLoudZoneDigitalFourthReally InterestingDifferent LevelsVegetation Author:Ali Banisadr
“Somehow, some way, every person in the arts has to find an accommodation with disappointment and embarrassment. They are the pollen in the air we breathe. If you must go into the arts, go into them for yourself alone. On some basic level you must enjoy the act of doing it ... Otherwise, you are going to end up frustrated and unhappy. Recognition in the arts is luck and gravy.” IfsWayPersonsArtEndsEnjoyLevelsAirArt IsLuckDisappointmentBreatheUnhappyRecognitionFrustratedEmbarrassmentAccommodationsGravyPollen Author:Joan Rivers

“Instead of giving the effort the level of attention needed, the Air Force has wasted a year doing very little to end our reliance on Russian rocket engines, if the Air Force is unwilling to do what is necessary to meet the 2019 deadline, they are going to have to figure out how to meet our space launch needs without the RD-180 (Russian engine).” IfsNeedsGivingYearsLittlesEndsForceSpaceLevelsEffortAttentionAirFiguresNeededEnginesRelianceRocketsUnwillingDeadlineAir Force Author:John McCain

“People say that I'm a tree hugger, but I do a lot more than hug trees. I like having my drinking water without faecal matter, that's really nice. Or acceptable levels of strychnine.

“We have long had emigration in Ireland. But the nature of emigration has changed. With ferries to Britain and the continent, as well as air travel, emigration isn't the cutoff it used to be. In addition, some of our young people are being educated to levels beyond our present capacity to provide the jobs they are qualified to do. So they go abroad. Many want to come back, especially when they have children they would want to be raised in the Irish society and in the Irish educational system.” PeopleWantWellsChildrenLongJobsYoungUsedLevelsCuttingAirChangedCapacityRaisedEducationalEducatedUsed To BeBritainIrelandContinentsQualifiedEducational SystemAir TravelFerryEmigration Author:Mary Robinson
