“When I climb a fourteener, a 14,000-foot/4,260-meter peak, in the winter by myself, I leave an itinerary and information about where my vehicle will be parked and the name of the county sheriff to contact in case I don't get home.” HomeNamesCasesFeetInformationWinterContactClimbsVehicleCountyMeterSheriffs Author:Aron Ralston

“Mothers ... would do anything to steer their daughter the right way. It is frustrating beyond measure for them when a daughter screams, 'You don't understand, and you'll never understand!' The mother stamps her foot in aggravation, but in this case the daughter is right: the mother doesn't understand. She merely remembers, and memory is separate from experience.” WayRememberMotherMemoriesCasesFeetDaughterScreamRight WayStampsFrustratingSteersAggravation Author:Caitlin Flanagan
“A people may prefer a free government, but if by momentary discouragement or temporary panic, or a fit of enthusiasm for an individual, they can be induced to lay their liberties at the feet of even a great man, or trust him with powers to subvert their institutions, in all these cases they are unfit for liberty.” PeopleIfsMenMayGovernmentIndividualLibertyCasesFeetFitInstitutionsLaysEnthusiasmGreat MenTemporaryPanicDiscouragementMomentaryFree Government Book:On Liberty, Utilitarianism and Other Essays Source: On Liberty, Utilitarianism and Other Essays
“Liberty is the first condition of growth. Your ancestors gave every liberty to the soul, and religion grew. They put the body under every bondage, and society did not grow. The opposite is the case in the West - every liberty to society, none to religion. Now are falling off the shackles from the feet of Eastern society as from those of Western religion.” FirstsSoulBodyFallGrowsGrowthLibertyCasesFeetConditionsGrewOppositesWestWesternAncestorEasternBondageShacklesFalling Off Book:The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda Source: The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda
“Recycling helps make people feel involved, and in some cases can be useful. Although you've got to do careful life history studies of what you're recycling. If all you're doing is recycling - if you've got three automobiles, and 10 children, and a 7,000-square-foot dot-com palace and second home up in the mountains that has to be heated - the recycling isn't making much difference.” PeopleIfsFeelsChildrenHelpingHomeThreeDifferencesCasesStudyFeetInvolvedMountainCarefulSquaresPalacesAutomobileDotsRecycling Author:Paul R.

“After about midday my dad sent cars from his private collection for us. We were told to get in. We had almost lost contact with my father and brothers because things had got out of hand. I saw with my own eyes the [Iraqi] army withdrawing and the terrified faces of the Iraqi soldiers who, unfortunately, were running away and looking around them. Missiles were falling on my left and my right - they were not more than fifty or one hundred metres away. We moved in small cars.

“If complex organisms demand an explanation, so does a complex designer. And it's no solution to raise the theologian's plea that God (or the Intelligent Designer) is simply immune to the normal demands of scientific explanation. To do so would be to shoot yourself in the foot. You cannot have it both ways. Either ID belongs in the science classroom, in which case it must submit to the discipline required of a scientific hypothesis. Or it does not, in which case, get it out of the science classroom and send it back to church, where it belongs.” IfsWayDoeWould BeChurchCasesFeetDisciplineDemandNormalSolutionsIntelligentRaisesComplexesExplanationDesignerClassroomSubmitOrganismsHypothesisTheologianImmuneIntelligent Design Author:Richard Dawkins
“Marijuana makes the best bio-diesel fuel on the planet, so it can make you energy. It grows 15 feet a summer, so it's a renewable resource. It makes better paper than wood does. It makes clothing. Medical-wise, it's stopping seizures, it's working for post-traumatic stress, they're even finding that it's curing cancer in certain cases. I mean, this is a remarkable plant. Now, for those that smoke it recreationally, to feel good, what's wrong with that?

“The law exists for lots of reasons. In the case of migration, the law exists to maintain the integrity of America. We allow immigrants here, happily so. We don't deny legal immigrants a path to citizenship in this country. But beyond that, since we can't take in everybody, since everybody can't come here, it's physically not possible - well, it is.
