“Liberals are like dogs: The liberal holds that he is true to the republic when he is true to himself. (It may not be as cozy an attitude as it sounds.) He greets with enthusiasm the fact of the journey, as a dog greets a man's invitation to take a walk. And he acts in the dog's way too, swinging wide, racing ahead, doubling back, covering many miles of territory that the man never traverses, all in the spirit of inquiry and the zest for truth. He leaves a crazy trail, but he ranges far beyond the genteel old party he walks with and he is usually in a better position to discover a skunk.” MenWayMayFactsSpiritSoundWalksPartyAttitudeJourneyCrazyDogPositionHe ManWideMilesEnthusiasmRangeRepublicTerritoryRacingInquiryTrailsInvitationsCoveringCozyZestTraverse Author:E.

“We are at the moment looking at space as something to be entered by the tremendous thrust of a rocket because that is the attitude of attacking the unknown. And that causes us not to realize that we are already on the most magnificently equipped spaceship, which could hardly be improved upon. It has got a source of temperature and energy just at the right distance from it. It's beautifully equipped with oxygen, with food supplies, with all kinds of delightful things to do while on the journey.... and it's traveling through space at a colossal speed... and it's called the planet Earth.” KindMomentsEarthEnergyCausesRealizingSpaceAttitudeJourneyPlanetsSourceDistanceSpeedAll KindsThings To DoDelightfulOxygenAttackingTemperatureRocketsThrustSuppliesPlanet EarthSpaceshipsColossalFood SupplyDelightful Things Author:Alan Watts
