“I took one glance at her in that hospital bed under the dull light and recognised the look on her face, which I'd seen on donors often enough before.

“I tell ya, if I hadn't chosen the career of being a performer, I think linguistics would have been a natural area that I'd have loved - to teach it, probably, Language has always fascinated me.

“All fear of 'offensive' speech is bourgeois and reactionary. Historically, profane or bawdy language was common in both the upper and the lower classes, who lived together in rural areas amid the untidy facts of nature. Notions of propriety and decorum come to the fore in urbanized periods ruled by an expanding middle class, which is obsessed with cleanliness, respectability, and conformism.” FactsTogetherLanguageCommonClassMiddleInternetPeriodsSpeechAreasNotionObsessedMiddle ClassFree SpeechOffensiveExpandingBourgeoisCleanlinessReactionariesProprietyProfaneRespectabilityDecorumLower ClassRural Areas Author:Camille Paglia
“Music can move us to the heights or depths of emotion. It can persuade us to buy something, or remind us of our first date. It can lift us out of depression when nothing else can. It can get us dancing to its beat. But the power of music goes much, much further. Indeed, music occupies more areas of our brain than language does-humans are a musical species.” FirstsHumansDoeMovingLanguageEmotionBrainBeatsAreasDancingSpeciesDepthMusicalLiftsHeightPower Of MusicFirst Date Book:Migraine Source: Migraine
“I love Korean food, and it's kind of like home to me. The area that I grew up in outside Chicago, Glenview, is heavily Korean.

“If I had to bring the whole conspiracy in all its forms into one area, it would be to manipulate people into left-brain reality. That’s the key. Once they are in left-brain reality-it’s the area that decodes everything as apart, everything in terms of individuals, structure and language, rationality as we call it. Then you are parking them in the droplet. The left brain is great if it’s used to translate higher awareness into a form that we can work with here.” PeopleIfsWholeRealityWould BeFormUsedIndividualLeftLanguageTermBrainAwarenessKeysHigherAreasStructureConspiracyTranslateRationalityManipulateParkingLeft BrainDroplets Author:David Icke

“A wonderful area for speculative academic work is the unknowable. These days religious subjects are in disfavor, but there are still plenty of good topics. The nature of consciousness, the workings of the brain, the origin of aggression, the origin of language, the origin of life on earth, SETI and life on other worlds...this is all great stuff. Wonderful stuff. You can argue it interminably. But it can't be contradicted, because nobody knows the answer to any of these topics.” KnowsWorldStillsEarthLanguageStuffReligiousAnswersBrainConsciousnessWonderfulSubjectsAreasArguingPlentyThese DaysAcademicAggressionTopicsHuman BehaviorOther WorldsNobody KnowsOrigin Of LifeAcademic Work Author:Michael Crichton
