“I'm sure there have been guys who didn't realize they had a concussion and just kept playing. It's a violent game. The head injuries are the most dangerous to play with. We're trained to play no matter what. If you can run, and you're able to focus and know your responsibilities, you're usually out there playing. You wouldn't have enough players if no one played hurt. Especially if you're, like, on special teams, you're going to do everything you can to stay in the game.” IfsKnowsHas BeensMatterEnoughPlayRunningAbleGuyGamesRealizingHurtResponsibilityFocusPlayerTeamSpecialDangerousNo Matter WhatViolentNflInjuryWhat IfConcussionsHead InjuriesSpecial Teams Author:Mike Brown
“People are only animals, but special animals. Every animal has fought and killed to survive, even before the dinosaurs. We're the only ones that do it for fun. That's why I don't know about Darwinism. Supposedly evolution and natural selection are all about survival, but we haven't gotten smarter over the years, only more dangerous.” PeopleKnowsYearsFunNaturalAnimalSpecialDangerousHavensEvolutionSurvivalSmarterSelectionDinosaursNatural SelectionDarwinism Author:Kurt Vonnegut
“To think of writing poetry as a "career" is not only ridiculous, it's dangerous. To the imagination. To the way one thinks of art.

“It is imperative to exercise over big business a control and supervision which is unnecessary as regards small business. All business must be conducted under the law, and all business men, big or little, must act justly. But a wicked big interest is necessarily more dangerous to the community than a wicked little interest. 'Big business' in the past has been responsible for much of the special privilege which must be unsparingly cut out of our national life.” MenLittlesHas BeensBigsPastLawInterestCommunityCuttingSpecialDangerousExerciseResponsibleRegardPrivilegeWickedUnnecessarySmall BusinessImperativesBig BusinessSupervisionBusiness Man Book:Progressive Principles: Selections from Addresses Made During the Presidential Campaign of 1912 Source: Progressive Principles: Selections from Addresses Made During the Presidential Campaign of 1912
“What historians will definitely wonder about in future centuries is how deeply flawed logic, obscured by shrewd and unrelenting propaganda, actually enabled a coalition of powerful special interests to convince nearly everyone in the world that CO2 from human industry was a dangerous, planet-destroying toxin. It will be remembered as the greatest mass delusion in the history of the world - that CO2, the life of plants, was considered for a time to be a deadly poison.” WorldHumansInterestPowerfulWonderSpecialCenturyDangerousPlanetsIndustryMassLogicPlantRememberedPropagandaPoisonConvinceDelusionHistorianDestroyingWorld HistoryFlawedCoalitionsSpecial InterestsCo2ToxinsUnrelenting Author:Richard Lindzen
“I think we have some special talents. That being said, I think it's dangerous to rely on special talents - it's better to own lots of monopolistic businesses with unregulated prices.

“Al-Hallaj has a special destiny. He came at a time when worldliness, the luxury, were inundating the Islamic world. His function was to act as kind of an antithesis to this, and he paid for it with his life, and he was very happy to do so. He smiled as he went to the executioner. That was done because it shook the conscience of the Islamic peoples of that time. But the vast majority, the vast, vast, vast majority of Sufis, they have not met the destiny of al-Hallaj. They have spoken about reaching "the Truth" and there is nothing dangerous about it.” WorldKindDoneDestinySpecialDangerousMetsConscienceFunctionPaidMajorityLuxuryIslamicReachingAlsVery HappySufiAntithesisExecutionersWorldliness Author:Seyyed Hossein Nasr
