“For it is only framed in space that beauty blooms. Only in space are events and objects and people unique and significant-and therefore beautiful. A tree has significance if one sees it against the empty face of sky. A note in music gains significance from the silences on either side. A candle flowers in the space of night. Even small and casual things take on significance if they are washed in space, like a few autumn grasses in one corner of an Oriental painting, the rest of the page bare.” PeopleIfsBeautifulFacesNightSidesSpaceSilenceBeautyTreeSkyEventsObjectsPaintingFlowerPagesUniqueGainsEmptyNotesCornersSignificantGrassAutumnSignificanceCandleCasualFramed Author:Anne Morrow Lindbergh
“The determination of the value of an item must not be based on its price, but rather on the utility it yields. The price of the item is dependent only on the thing itself and is equal for everyone; the utility, however, is dependent on the particular circumstances of the person making the estimate. Thus there is no doubt that a gain of one thousand ducats is more significant to a pauper than to a rich man though both gain the same amount.” MenPersonsValuesMoneyRichDoubtParticularAmountCircumstancesThousandEqualGainsDeterminationSignificantNo DoubtDependentYieldItemsUtilityRich Man Author:Daniel Bernoulli

“The temple is a sacred edifice, a holy place, where essential saving ceremonies and ordinances are performed to prepare us for exaltation.

“Marijuana legalization's income may help fund education, prevention and treatment programs for harder drugs. What's clear is that the four-decade-old U.S.-backed war on drugs is not working, and that it's producing tens of thousands of dead across the hemisphere, without significant gains in reducing consumption. Experimenting with new weapons to weaken the cartels may be better than doing nothing.” MayWarHelpingClearFourDrugWeaponsGainsProgramHarderDecadesSignificantIncomeTreatmentFundMarijuanaConsumptionDoing NothingReducingWar On DrugsPreventionHemisphereCartelsMarijuana Legalization Author:Andres Oppenheimer
