“If it be admitted that a man, possessing absolute power, may misuse that power by wronging his adversaries, why should a majority not be liable to the same reproach? Men are not apt to change their character by agglomeration; nor does their patience in the presence of obstacles increase with the consciousness of their strength. And for these reasons I can never willingly invest any number of my fellow creatures with that unlimited authority which I should refuse to any one of them.” IfsMenShouldMayDoeI CanReasonCharacterNumbersConsciousnessCreaturesAuthorityIncreaseAbsolutesFellowsMajorityRefuseObstaclesUnlimitedAdversariesPossessingLiableReproachMisuseAbsolute Power Book:American Institutions and Their Influence Source: American Institutions and Their Influence

“Our assaults on the ecosystem are so powerful, so numerous, so finely interconnected, that although the damage they do is clear, it is very difficult to discover how it was done. By which weapon? In whose hand? Are we driving the ecosphere to destruction simply by our growing numbers? By our greedy accumulation of wealth? Or are the machines which we have built to gain this wealth-the magnificent technology that now feeds us out of neat packages, that clothes us in man-made fibers, that surrounds us with new chemical creations-at fault?” MenMadeDoneHandsDifficultWealthPowerfulNumbersTechnologyClearGrowingCreationClothesWeaponsGainsBuiltDestructionMachinesFaultsEnvironmentalDrivingDamageSurroundChemicalsMagnificentAssaultGreedyPackagesAccumulationNeatEcosystemsFiberInterconnected Author:Barry Commoner
“I have divers times examined the same matter (human semen) from a healthy man... not from a sick man... nor spoiled by keeping... for a long time and not liquefied after the lapse of some time... but immediately after ejaculation before six beats of the pulse had intervened; and I have seen so great a number of living animalcules... in it, that sometimes more than a thousand were moving about in an amount of material the size of a grain of sand... I saw this vast number of animalcules not all through the semen, but only in the liquid matter adhering to the thicker part.” MenHumansLongSometimesMatterMovingScienceNumbersSawsMaterialsAmountHealthyThousandSixLong TimeBeatsSickSizeSandGrainPulseLiquidSpoiledMicroscopesLapsesGrains Of SandSick ManEjaculation Author:Antonie van Leeuwenhoek
