“What I have always found most beautiful in the theatre, in my childhood, and still today, is lustre--a beautiful object, luminous, crystalline, complex, circular, symmetrical. However, I do not absolutely deny the value of dramatic literature. Only, I should like the actors to be mounted on high pattens, to wear masks more expressive than the human face, and to speak through megaphones.” ShouldHumansStillsTodayBeautifulFacesValuesActorsFoundLiteratureSpeakChildhoodObjectsComplexesDenyTheatreDramaticMaskLuminousExpressiveHuman FacesSymmetricalBeautiful Objects Book:Baudelaire, His Prose and Poetry Source: Baudelaire, His Prose and Poetry

“I think evolution should be taught as an accepted principle. I say that also as the daughter of a school teacher, a science teacher, who has instilled in me a respect for science. I think it should be taught in our schools. I won't ever deny that I see the hand of God in this beautiful creation that is earth. But - that is not a part of state policy or a local curriculum in a school district. Science should be taught in science class.” ThinkingShouldStatesHandsSchoolEarthBeautifulClassPrinciplesTeacherAtheismPolicyCreationTaughtEvolutionDaughterDenyPositive AtheismAcceptedLocalsCurriculumHands Of GodSchool TeachersSchool DistrictsScience TeacherScience Class Author:Sarah Palin
“Monarchy can easily be "debunked," but watch the faces, mark well the debunkers. These are the men whose taproot in Eden has been cut: whom no rumour of the polyphony, the dance, can reach - men to whom pebbles laid in a row are more beautiful than an arch. Where men are forbidden to honour a king they honour millionaires, athletes or film stars instead: For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served; deny it food and it will gobble poison.” MenWellsHas BeensBeautifulFilmFacesSpiritualStarsWatchesCuttingHe ManKingsMarkAthleteDenyPoisonHonourForbiddenMillionaireMonarchyEdenMonarchsPebblesArchesRumoursSpiritual NatureFilm StarsConstitutional MonarchyPolyphony Author:C.
