“Country' and 'city' are very powerful words, and this is not surprising when we remember how much they seem to stand for in the experience of human communities. In English, 'country' is both a nation and a part of a 'land'; 'the country' can be the whole society or its rural area. In the long history of human settlements, this connection between the land from which directly or indirectly we all get our living and the achievements of human society has been deeply known.” HumansLongHas BeensCountryWholeSeemsRememberNationsCommunityPowerfulCitiesKnownLandAchievementAreasConnectionsSurprisingVery PowerfulHuman SocietySettlementRural AreasPowerful Words Book:The Country and the City Source: The Country and the City

“There are a dozen different ways of delivering destruction in impersonal wholesale, via ships or missiles of one sort or another, catastrophes so widespread, so unselective that the war is over because that nation or planet has ceased to exist. What we do is entirely different. We make war as personal as a punch in the nose. We can be selective, applying precisely the required amount of pressure at the specified point at a designated time. We've never been told to go down and kill or capture all left-handed redheads in a particular area, but if they tell us to, we can. We will.” IfsWayDifferentWarLeftNationsParticularPlanetsAmountAreasDestructionPressureDown AndShipsNosesDifferent WaysCaptureDozenCatastropheMissilesDeliveringSelectiveWholesaleLeft Handed Author:Robert A.
