“On the television planet, where men make up the tribe, the law of the caveman rules. So, for a woman coming from another world, without experience or cunning, to succeed gradually in gaining control over what is to be taped, what goes out over the air, what is said without censorship, is an epic feat.” MenWorldSaidLawAirTelevisionPlanetsSucceedCensorshipEpicTribesCunningAnother WorldFeats Author:Cristina Saralegui

“That the machine of Heaven is not a hard and impervious body full of various real spheres, as up to now has been believed by most people.

“We are made out of stardust. The iron in the hemoglobin molecules in the blood in your right hand came from a star that blew up 8 billion years ago. The iron in your left hand came from another star. We are the laws of chemistry and physics as they have played out here on Earth and we are now learning that planets are as common as stars. Most stars, as it turns out now, will have planets.” YearsMadeHandsEarthLawTurnsLeftStarsCommonBloodPlanetsYears AgoPhysicsBillionsIronChemistryMoleculesStardustLeft Hand Author:Jill Tarter
“I've come to understand and to believe that each of us is more than the worst thing we've ever done. I believe that for every person on the planet. I think if somebody tells a lie, they're not just a liar. I think if somebody takes something that doesn't belong to them, they're not just a thief. I think even if you kill someone, you're not just a killer. And because of that, there's this basic human dignity that must be respected by law.” IfsThinkingBelieveHumansPersonsDoneLawLyingI BelieveWorstPlanetsDignityLiarsKillersThievesWorst ThingsHuman Dignity Author:Bryan Stevenson
“I do believe that half a dozen commonplace attorneys could so mystify and misconstrue the Ten Commandments, and so confuse Moses' surroundings on Mount Sinai, that the great law-giver, if he returned to this planet, would doubt his own identity, abjure every one of his deliverances, yea, even commend the very sins he so clearly forbade his people.” PeopleIfsBelieveLawSinHalfDoubtIdentityPlanetsTenDozenCommandmentsSurroundingsGiverMosesCommonplaceAttorneyDeliveranceTen CommandmentsSinai Author:Elizabeth Cady Stanton
