“I can't help seeing 'Waste Land' as the third in a triptych with my earlier films 'Devil's Playground' and 'Blindsight,' and not least in the awe and gratitude I feel for the group of people who were courageous enough to share their stories with us - and to live lives so rich in inspiration for us all.” PeopleFeelsI CanEnoughHelpingStoriesInspirationFilmRichSeeingGroupsShareLandGratitudeWasteDevilThirdsLive LifeAweCourageousPlaygroundsWaste Land Author:Lucy Walker
“One night, a group of moths gathered on a shelf watching a burning candle. Puzzled by the nature of the light, they sent one of their members to go and check on it. The scouting moth circled the candle several times and came back with a description: The light was bright. Then a second moth went to examine it. He, too, came back with an observation: The light was hot. Finally a third moth volunteered to go. When he approached the candle he didn't stop like his friends had done, but flew straight into the flame. He was consumed there and then, and only he understood the nature of the light.” DoneLightNightGroupsMembersUnderstoodThirdsHotChecksObservationBurningFlamesDescriptionCandleShelvesConsumedOne NightFlewMothsPuzzledScouting Author:Elif Safak
“I am a terrible and lazy Christian. I do not believe that the Bible is the literal word of God. I just skip about a third of it. I love the parts I love so much, but I find a lot of it just appalling. When a right-wing person quotes a passage in order to attack and stigmatize another person--or group of people--I just roll my eyes.” PeopleBelievePersonsEyeChristianOrderGroupsTerribleThirdsWingsLazyWord Of GodPassagesRight WingLiteralSkip Author:Anne Lamott
“One percent of the nation owns a third of the wealth. The rest of the wealth is distributed in such a way as to turn those in the 99 percent against one another: small property owners against the propertyless, black against white, native-born against foreign-born, intellectuals and professionals against the uneducated and the unskilled. These groups have resented one another and warred against one another with such vehemence and violence as to obscure their common position as sharers of leftovers in a very wealthy country.” WayCountryTurnsNationsBlackBornWealthWhiteCommonViolenceGroupsPositionPercentThirdsPropertyNativeOwnersWealthyObscureUneducatedLeftoversVehemenceEducated And Uneducated Book:A People's History of the United States: 1492-Present Source: A People's History of the United States: 1492-Present

“Congratulations to the Auburn team and coach Malzahn. The piece for us was that we took some first and ten's and could not get a third down conversion. We kept putting the defense on the field. We tackled, we played hard, but offensively we did not execute. We are a work in progress. Certainly a group of men that are committed to fixing things. But frankly we did not get it done today.” MenFirstsHardDoneTodayPiecesProgressGroupsTeamFieldsTenThirdsCommittedDefenseCoachesConversionTigersCongratulationsFixingGet It DoneWork In ProgressLsuAuburnFixing Things Author:Les Miles
“There exists no third principle for the organisation of the economics process which can be rationally chosen to achieve any desirable ends, in addition to either a functioning market in which nobody can conclusively determine how well-off particular groups or individuals will be, or a central direction where a group organised for power determines it.” WellsEndsIndividualProcessPrinciplesGroupsAchieveParticularEconomicsThirdsDetermineChosenDesirableOrganisationOrganised Author:Friedrich August von Hayek
“I seem to have three categories of readers. The first is nonbelievers who are glad that I am reading the Bible so they don't have to bother. The second group, which is quite large, is very Biblically literate Jews. And the third, which is also very large, is Christians, most of them evangelical. The evangelical readers and the Jewish readers have generally been very encouraging, because they appreciate someone taking the book they love so seriously, and actually reading it and grappling with it.” FirstsBookSeemsChristianThreeReadingGroupsReaderAppreciateThirdsJewGladBotherCategoriesEvangelicalGrapplingReading The Bible Author:David Plotz
“There is one Islam, unreformed, but three sets of Muslims. Medina, Mecca, and. Dissidents, reformers, whatever you want to call them.
