“Though this new forest grew mightily, elsewhere the mighty jungles fell. Elsewhere the coastal rain forests that furred the body of the world were torn and riven. Elsewhere the last of the old growth the last of the world's own garment were ripped away. It was in this time, now, that the mother of us all was stripped naked and left to die in shame of her children, she who had been robed in glory like this, adorned like this. I bent my head upon the roots and wept, sorrowing for the trees.” WorldChildrenBodyLastsMotherDiesLeftGrowthTreeGrewGloryRainRootsShameForestsNakedElsewhereBentTornJungleGarmentsRippedCoastal Author:Sheri S.

“Most of us agree that the United Nations is the vanguard of a foreign invasion and must be driven from our shores. Liberalism - Progressivism - all forms of left wing collectivism, are equally alien to the Founders' America and must be extirpated, root and branch, laughter and derision being the most effective weapons. Look at the way they have reduced Hillary Clinton to an insignificant greasy spot on the pages of history, turned Albert Gore into an object of merriment, and are accomplishing the same for Barry and Micky Obama.” WayLooksAmericaFormLeftNationsUnitedObjectsWeaponsPagesLaughterRootsAgreeWingsClintonDrivenSpotsAliensBranchesLiberalismShoreFoundersUnited NationsInsignificantInvasionGoreCollectivismLeft WingProgressivismMerrimentDerisionVanguardRoots And Branches Author:L.

“I left Britain in the mid-1990s when TV was going down the cundy - another good Dundee word - because I wanted a film career. But as I get older, I find myself being drawn back to my roots, and I'm loving it.” WantedFilmLeftCareersTvsRootsBritainDundee Author:Charlie Cox
“There is plenty of room left for exact experiment in art, and the gate has been opened for some time. What had been accomplished in music by the end of the eighteenth century has only begun in the fine arts. Mathematics and physics have given us a clue in the form of rules to be strictly observed or departed from, as the case may be. Here salutary discipline is come to grips first of all with the function of forms, and not with form as the final result … in this way we learn how to look beyond the surface and get to the root of things.” WayFirstsLooksMayHas BeensArtEndsFormLeftGivenRoomsResultsMusicCasesLearningCenturyFineDisciplineRootsFunctionMathematicsFinalsSurfacePhysicsExperimentsPlentyAccomplishedGatesClueFine ArtsDeparted Author:Paul Klee
“I had achieved so much success in my career and then had this spectacular fall from grace that left me unemployed and living in a town, Los Angeles, that is built on envy. Once you fall, people don't really root for you to come back again. I'd go to restaurants where I always had the best table and half the time they wouldn't even let me pay. And then when I stopped making movies, the same places wouldn't even give me a lousy table, never mind the best one!” PeopleGivingMindFallLeftPayHalfCareersGraceBuiltRootsLet MeGive MeTownsTablesEnvyRestaurantsLos AngelesSpectacularUnemployedBack AgainFalls From Grace Author:Mickey Rourke
