“We are born strangers in a strange land, and remain so. Travel simply reminds us of this essential truth. The transmission of a powerful story, one human to another, is an alchemical activity in which we are enlarged and changed.” HumansStoriesMotivationalBornPowerfulLandChangedStrangeActivityEssentialsStrangerTransmissionStranger In A Strange Land Author:Richard Halliburton
“The sea erupted. Often the sea and land changed places. The immobility of contours of continents and seas, a dogma in geology, has no basis in fact. And immediately there is the problem of the climate. There were ancient climates that were very different from what they are today. If those corals grew where they were found, certainly the Earth was not travelling with the same elements of rotation and revolution which means not in the same orbit, not with the axis directed in the same position as it is today. If you don't believe it, try to conservate corals on the North Pole.” IfsTryingBelieveMeanDifferentFactsProblemTodayEarthFoundSeaLandPositionChangedRevolutionGrewElementsBasesClimateDon't BelieveAncientDogmaContinentsGeologyOrbitAxesRotationNorth Pole Author:Immanuel Velikovsky
“The decay of the late, great country of South Africa is beginning to become apparent. The name of the Transvaal has been officially changed to 'Gauteng.' (One of our friends has suggested that in view of this its inhabitants in the future should be referred to as Oranggautengs.) ... And now there is a move afoot to wreck the Kruger National Park, one of the wonders of the world, on the notion that a good bit of its land was 'taken from the blacks.' This idea is somewhat akin to giving Yellowstone Park back to the Blackfeet.” WorldGivingShouldHas BeensIdeasCountryMovingNamesBitsViewsWonderTakenLandChangedLateSouthNotionParksDecaySouth AfricaWrecksGreat CountryNational ParksWonder Of The WorldYellowstone Author:Jeff Cooper
“You mentioned the Navy, for example, and that we have fewer ships than we did in 1916. Well, Governor, we also have fewer horses and bayonets because the nature of our military has changed. We have these things called aircraft carriers where planes land on them. We have these ships that go underwater, nuclear submarines.” WellsImportantLandMilitaryExampleChangedPercentHorseNuclearShipsPlanesFewerGovernorsNavyAircraftPresidential ElectionCarrierUnderwaterSubmarinesBayonetsPresidential DebateGangnam StyleAircraft Carriers Author:Barack Obama
