“To our senses, the elements are four and have ever been, and will ever be for they are the elements of life, of poetry, and of perception, the four Great Ones, the Four Roots, the First Four of Fire and the Wet, Earth and the wide Air of the World. To find the other many elements, you must go to the laboratory and hunt them down. But the four we have always with us, they are our world. Or rather, they have us with them.” WorldFirstsEarthScienceFireFourAirElementsPerceptionRootsWideSensesOur WorldWetHuntsLaboratoryGreat OnesElements Of Life Book:Delphi Complete Works of D.H.

“Based on first-hand evidence of your own senses - the improved health and later ages at which acquaintances die nowadays as compared with the past; the material goods that we now possess; the speed at which information, entertainment, and we ourselves move freely throughout the world - it seems to me that a person must be literally deaf and blind not to perceive that humanity is in a much better state than ever before.” WorldFirstsPersonsStatesHandsSeemsAgePastMovingHumanityDiesInformationMaterialsEvidenceBlindEntertainmentSpeedSensesPerceiveGoodsDeafAcquaintanceDeaf And Blind Author:Julian Simon
