“Dwellers by the sea cannot fail to be impressed by the sight of its ceaseless ebb and flow, and are apt, on the principles of that rude philosophy of sympathy and resemblance... to trace a subtle relation, a secret harmony, between its tides and the life of man...

“An entirely new factor has appeared in the social development of the country, and this factor is the Irish-American, and his influence. To mature its powers, to concentrate its action, to learn the secret of its own strength and of England's weakness, the Celtic intellect has had to cross the Atlantic. At home it had but learned the pathetic weakness of nationality; in a strange land it realised what indomitable forces nationality possesses. What captivity was to the Jews, exile has been to the Irish: America and American influence have educated them.” Has BeensCountryHomeActionAmericaForceSocialSecretInfluenceLandStrangeDevelopmentWeaknessCrossesEnglandJewIntellectFactorsEducatedMatureExilePatheticNationalityRealisedSocial DevelopmentCaptivityCelticIndomitable Author:Oscar Wilde
“Where dwells the religion? Tell me first where dwells electricity, or motion, or thought or gesture. They do not dwell or stay atall. Electricity cannot be made fast, mortared up and ended, like London Monument, or the Tower, so that you shall know where to find it, and keep it fixed, as the English do with their things, forevermore; it is passing, glancing, gesticular; it is a traveller, a newness, a surprise, a secret which perplexes them, and puts them out.” KnowsFirstsMadeReligionSecretEnglandSurpriseLondonPassingPassingsFixedGesturesTowersElectricityMonumentTravellerNewness Author:Ralph Waldo Emerson

“What happened was I was invited to meet Tom [Hardy] to discuss a project that he had in his mind about an adventurer who returns to England from Africa with secrets and with a history, and the original idea was set some 80 years later than it is now. But in the conversation I really took to the idea and I'd wanted for a while to set something in 1830 and 1840 in London, so it struck a chord.” YearsMindIdeasWantedSecretHappenedReturnConversationProjectsEnglandOriginalsLondonTomsInvitedChordsAdventurerHardyOriginal Ideas Author:Steven Knight

“As Day and other observers had reported, the slaves were leading very comfortable lives. After this tactic [slave rebellions in the South] failed, it became obvious to the conspirators that an actual military invasion was the only solution to their campaign. The merchant bankers of New England, who were directly controlled by the Rothschilds, were no instructed to finance a military attack against the South. Their instrumentality was the already well-known terrorist, John Brown. He was financed by a group famed as "the Secret Six".” WellsWarSecretKnownGroupsMilitarySixComfortableSolutionsEnglandSlaveSouthObviousCampaignsTerroristFinanceCivil WarBrownRebellionControlledWell KnownObserversTacticsInvasionBankersMerchantsNew EnglandConspiratorsComfortable LifeJohn Brown Author:Eustace Mullins
