“O give me new figures! I can't go on dancing The same that were taught me ten seasons ago; The schoolmaster over the land is advancing, Then why is the master of dancing so slow? It is such a bore to be always caught tripping In dull uniformity year after year; Invent something new, and you'll set me a skipping: I want a new figure to dance with my Dear!” WantGivingYearsI CanLandFiguresTaughtMastersGoes OnTenSeasonsGive MeDancingDearCaughtDullSomething NewBoresAdvancingUniformityTripping Author:Thomas Haynes Bayly
“I want to think I deserve what I get. I don't want to consider how vastly I am overly rewarded. I don't want to consider the injustices around me. I don't want any encounters with the disenfranchised. I want to say it's not my fault. But it is, it's yours and mine, and ours. We'd better figure out ways to spread some equity around if we want to go on living in a society that is at least semi-functional. It's a fundamental responsibility, to ourselves.” IfsThinkingWayWantResponsibilityFiguresMinesGoes OnDeserveFundamentalsFaultsEnvironmentalInjusticeSpreadEncountersSustainabilityEquityDisenfranchised Author:William Kittredge

“And it would be a bit out of character. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan may have started out as a reformer, but he really enjoys being seen as a larger-than-life tough-guy figure.

But he does have hero moments, such as when his convoy stopped in the middle of the Bosphorus Bridge and he allegedly talked down a jumper, prevented him from committing suicide.” MayDoeMomentsCharacterWould BeGuyBitsEnjoyPresidentMiddleFiguresGoes OnHeroToughSuicideInstanceBridgesHuntingReformersExpeditionsLarger Than LifeTough GuyCommitting SuicideJumpersErdoganBosphorus Author:Peter Kenyon

“Most people, originally when Google Earth first came out in 2005, they thought, well, what can I do with it?

“Today, we're struggling a lot, both men and women, with finding out what we're supposed to be. Like when you go on a first date, I always find it incredibly difficult to figure out whether I should reach for the check or not. I don't want to presume anything, but I don't want to be a ball-buster. A lot of rules are thrown up into the air and I think that maybe more than anything, we're confused.” ThinkingMenWantShouldFirstsTodayDifficultStruggleAirFiguresGoes OnFindingsMen And WomenBallsChecksSupposed To BeConfusedThrownFirst DateBusters Author:Birgitte Hjort Sørensen
“In Britain, they have a lot of laws to protect you, and we enforce them very strongly so that our children can stay private figures, and the British press leave us alone, which is great. It means we can go on the Tube into the centre of London because it's quicker and more fun for the kids. We can do normal things.” MeanChildrenKidsLawFunCan DoFiguresGoes OnProtectNormalOur ChildrenPressesBritishLondonBritainCentreTubesProtect YouNormal Things Author:Gwyneth Paltrow
