“I suppose my interest in looking for life elsewhere in the universe really dates back to my teens. What teenager doesn't look up at the sky at night and think am I alone in the universe?

“Frank Capra made a series of films during World War II called 'Why We Fight' that explored America's reasons for entering the war. Today, with our troops engaged in Iraq and elsewhere for reasons far less clear, I think it's crucial to ask the questions: 'Why are we doing what we are doing? What is it doing to others? And what is it doing to us?'” ThinkingWorldMadeWarReasonTodayAmericaFilmFightingAsksClearSeriesIraqWar Of The WorldsEngagedCrucialWorld War IiElsewhereFrankWorld War ITroopsEnteringOur Troops Author:Eugene Jarecki
“I reverently believe that the Maker who made us all makes everything in New England but the weather. I don't know who makes that, but I think it must be raw apprentices in the weather clerk's factory who experiment and learn how, in New England, for board and clothes, and then are promoted to make weather for countries that require a good article, and will take their custom elsewhere if they don't get it...” IfsThinkingKnowsBelieveMadeCountryHumorClothesEnglandExperimentsWeatherBoardsCustomsMakersArticlesFactoriesElsewhereGood ArtNew EnglandClerksApprentice Author:Mark Twain
