“For the first time I saw a medley of haphazard facts fall into line and order. All the jumbles and recipes and hotchpotch of the inorganic chemistry of my boyhood seemed to fit into the scheme before my eyes-as though one were standing beside a jungle and it suddenly transformed itself into a Dutch garden.” FirstsFactsEyeScienceOrderFallLinesSawsFitFirst TimeGardenStandingChemistryTransformedSchemesRecipesJungleDutchBoyhoodHaphazardPeriodic TableMedley Book:The Search Source: The Search
“In the deep jungles of Africa, a traveler was making a long trek. Coolies had been engaged from a tribe to carry the loads. The first day they marched rapidly and went far. The traveler had high hopes of a speedy journey. But the second morning these jungle tribesmen refused to move. For some strange reason they just sat and rested. On inquiry as to the reason for this strange behavior, the traveler was informed that they had gone too fast the first day, and that they were now waiting for their souls to catch up with their bodies.” FirstsLongSoulReasonBodyMovingWaitingMorningGoneJourneyStrangeBehaviorSatEngagedLoadTravelerTribesInquiryJungle Author:Lettie Cowman
“Wisdom: The first error is that of the southern people, and it consists in holding that these eastern and western places are real places. Give no quarter to that thought, whether it threatens you with fear, or tempts you with hopes. For this is Superstition and all who believe it will come in the end to the swamps, to the south and the jungles, to the far south. Part of the same error is to think that the Landlord is a real man.” PeopleThinkingMenGivingFirstsBelieveRealEndsErrorsSouthWesternSouthernQuartersSuperstitionsEasternJungleReal MenSwampsLandlord Author:C.
