“Sometimes I am a collector of data, and only a collector, and am likely to be gross and miserly, piling up notes, pleased with merely numerically adding to my stores. Other times I have joys, when unexpectedly coming upon an outrageous story that may not be altogether a lie, or upon a macabre little thing that may make some reviewer of my more or less good works mad. But always there is present a feeling of unexplained relations of events that I note, and it is this far-away, haunting, or often taunting, awareness, or suspicion, that keeps me piling on.” MayLittlesSometimesStoriesFeelingsJoyLyingAwarenessEventsRelationMadNotesStoresDataLittle ThingsFar AwaySuspicionGood WorkGrossHauntingOutrageousCollectorsReviewersTauntingUnexplainedMacabre Book:Wild Talents Source: Wild Talents

Ideas have taken on a life of their own.” ThinkingWorldIdeasLyingNumbersFictionTakenPossibilityChangedDiscoveryScience FictionSurfaceStoresPhysicsBrandsErasRealmsExtrasDimensionsRemarkablePaceSheerEnteringPhysicistParticlesTheoreticalWondrousBrand New Author:Lisa Randall
“Every year, in the deep midwinter, there descends upon this world a terrible fortnight. ... every shop is a choked mass of humanity ... nerves are jangled and frayed, purses emptied to no purposes, all amusements and all occupations suspended in favor of frightful businesses with brown paper, string, letters, cards, stamps, and crammed post offices.
