“College football is a game which would be much more interesting if the faculty played instead of the students, and even more interesting if the trustees played. There would be a great increase in broken arms, legs, and necks, and simultaneously an appreciable diminution in the loss to humanity.” IfsWould BeHumanityGamesLossInterestingStudentsFootballCollegeBrokenArmsHumorousIncreaseLegsNecksFacultyCollege FootballTrustees Author:H.

“There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. It makes you behave like the village drunkard in some early Irish novel. Total loss of all basic motor skills, blurred vision, no balance, numb tongue - the mind recoils in horror, unable to communicate with the spinal column. Which is interesting, because you can actually watch yourself behaving in this terrible way, but you can’t control it.” MenWorldWayMindLossInterestingVisionWatchesNovelBalanceTerribleHorrorSkillsDepthCommunicateTongueBehaveVillageHelplessMotorVegasLas VegasColumnsIrresponsibleNumbLoathingDrunkardsDepravedBingeFear And LoathingRecoil Author:Hunter S.

“I think it's interesting, from a creative point of view, to have witnessed the loss of consciousness on a national level and on a cultural level - Bush had 91 percent support in the polls after 9/11.

“The fear of loss is an engine of horrors, but also a source of the greatest forms of heroism. There's not a lot of art that puts that in bold letters. It's psychologically very interesting and acute, I think. That's not the central reading, I think, of the New Testament.” ThinkingArtFormReadingLossInterestingSourceHorrorLettersEnginesHeroismTestamentVery InterestingNew Testament Author:Cass Sunstein

“You cannot suddenly make Lower Manhattan into a sad place because we saw such a dramatic loss of life. You have to balance the memory, which is so important, and use it as a kind of Archimedean Point to create a lively, incredibly interesting, and culturally significant piece of a city and neighborhood.” KindImportantUseMemoriesLossInterestingCitiesSawsPiecesBalanceSignificantDramaticNeighborhoodManhattanLively Author:Daniel Libeskind
“There has been a change in consciousness that makes this one of the most interesting periods of American history, maybe the most interesting. There's a loss of belief in the corporate system; there's a recognition that something is fundamentally wrong, So there's an opening to a whole different vision of where to go forward. I think that's where we are in the question, so let's not blow it; let's see what we can develop over time.” ThinkingHas BeensDifferentWholeBeliefLossInterestingConsciousnessVisionPeriodsBlowOpeningRecognitionCorporateAmerican HistoryMost Interesting Author:Gar Alperovitz
“I thought a lot about how so many memoirs about fatness focus on weight loss; they don't focus on living with weight in a world that is rather inhospitable to it. So I knew that was the idea that was going to be most interesting and most challenging, and I like to be challenged as a writer.” WorldChallengesLossInterestingFocusMemoirWeight LossMost Interesting Author:Roxane Gay
“We were doing something called telemedicine, where we were using the ultrasound. One interesting application of this ultrasound is the possibility that you could possibly use it to measure critical bone areas during a long space mission and track if you're losing bone in these areas. On Earth, when they check you for bone loss, you get in this big machine. It's the size of a room and it's got a platform with an x-ray that scans your whole body and in critical areas and it takes a while and it just wouldn't be practical to have a machine like that in space.” LongEarthLossInterestingPossibilityLosingTrackBonesApplication Author:Leroy Chiao
