“When I looked at the state of women's MMA, what I saw was that it was missing rivalries or anything theatrical about it. Everybody was trying to be Miss America, unwilling to go under any kind of criticism, and taking the safe answers.

“Man feels the urge to run up against the limits of language. Think for example of the astonishment that anything at all exists. This astonishment cannot be expressed in the form of a question, and there is also no answer whatsoever. Anything we might say is a priori bound to be nonsense. Nevertheless we do run up against the limits of language. Kierkegaard too saw that there is this running up against something, and he referred to it in a fairly similar way (as running up against paradox). This running up against the limits of language is ethics.” ThinkingMenWayFeelsMightRunningFormLanguageAnswersSawsExampleLimitsEthicsBoundsNonsenseUrgesParadoxNeverthelessAstonishment Author:Ludwig Wittgenstein
“The page of my notebook was filled with many messy integrals, but all of a sudden I saw emerge a formula for counting. I had begun to calculate a quantity on the assumption that the result was a real number, but found instead that, in certain units, all the possible answers would be integers. This meant that areas and volumes cannot take any value, but come in multiples of fixed units.” RealWould BeCertainValuesFoundAnswersResultsNumbersSawsPagesAreasMathematicsFilledFixedAssumptionFormulasQuantityVolumeUnitsCountingMessyNotebookIntegers Book:Three Roads To Quantum Gravity Source: Three Roads To Quantum Gravity
“In the weeks prior to the war to liberate Afghanistan, a good friend of mine would ask me almost every day, “Why aren't we killing people yet?” And I never had a good answer for him. Because one of the most important and vital things the United States could do after 9/11 was to kill people. Call it a “forceful response,” “decisive action” ' whatever. Those are all nice euphemisms for killing people. And the world is a better place because America saw the necessity of putting steel beneath the velvet of those euphemisms.” PeopleWorldImportantWarStatesActionAmericaAsksAnswersUnitedUnited StatesSawsNiceWeekMinesResponseKillingAsk MeAfghanistanGood FriendSteelBetter PlaceVelvetEuphemismDecisive Action Author:Jonah Goldberg

“There are a lot of college writing textbooks that will include essays and short stories, and after reading the story or essay, there will be questions such as "Have YOU Had any experience with a pedophile in YOUR family?" or "When was the last time you saw YOUR mother drunk?" and they're just really good at prompting stories.

“I was always matching wits with authority. Pondering over my past and present hassles, I began to wonder why my life had taken the direction it had. What cosmic forces had led me to this precise moment that saw me, once again, dancing on the rim of the volcano? The answers started to come to me as my life flashed before my eyes.
