“More and more it seems to me that the philosopher, being of necessity a man of tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, has always found himself, and had to find himself, in contradiction to his today: his enemy was ever the ideal of today. So far all these extraordinary furtherers of men whom one calls philosophers, though they themselves have rarely felt like friends of wisdom but rather like disagreeable fools and dangerous question marks, have found their task, their hard, unwanted, inescapable task, but eventually also the greatness of their task, in being the bad conscience of their time.” MenHardPhilosophySeemsTodayFoundFeltEnemyDangerousGreatnessFoolTomorrowConscienceIdealsTasksMarkExtraordinaryPhilosopherContradictionDisagreeableUnwantedQuestion Mark Author:Friedrich Nietzsche
“We should also challenge this country to come up with strategies and technologies that allow us to produce nuclear energy without necessarily producing a byproduct that can be converted to something far more dangerous.

It may not be done tomorrow, but it clearly needs to be worked on.” NeedsShouldBelieveMayCountryDoneEnergyI BelieveChallengesTechnologyDangerousProduceTomorrowStrategyCome UpNuclearNuclear Energy Author:Tom Vilsack
“If I take things slowly today in order to appreciate life better, and if I take time to listen to the messages that life sends me, then I will have less time to do the things I need to do today. Then tomorrow I will have to do everything that much faster and I will be that much more unable to appreciate life.

“To-morrow is that lamp upon the marsh, which a traveller never reacheth; To-morrow, the rainbow's cup, coveted prize of ignorance; To-morrow, the shifting anchorage, dangerous trust of manners; To-morrow, the wrecker's beacon, wily snare of the destroyer.

“If I had to catalog all the moronic plot turns in The Day After Tomorrow, we'd be here until the next ice age. It's just so very bad. You can have a pretty good time snickering at it-unless, like me, you think there's something to this global warming thing, and you shudder at the irony of a movie meant to warn people about a dangerous environmental trend that completely discredits it. Is it possible that the film is a plot to make environmental activists look as wacko as anti-environmentalists always claim they are?” PeopleIfsThinkingLooksAgeFilmTurnsNextDangerousTomorrowClaimsEnvironmentalLike MeIceIronyGlobal WarmingGood TimesPlotActivistTrendsEnvironmentalistDiscreditIce Age Author:David Edelstein
