“I maintain that when I finally retire from my career in music, I will go and live back in Wales - when I am an old person, if I live to be an old person.

“Both Miss Lavinia and Miss Clarissa had a superstition, however, that he would have declared his passion, if he had not been cut short in his youth (at about sixty) by over-drinking his constitution, and over-doing an attempt to set it right again by swilling Bath water.” IfsFunnyPassionWaterCuttingMissingYouthHumorousConstitutionDrinkingSuperstitionsSixtyBathsLavinia Book:Charles Dickens Six Pack: Six Dickens Classics Source: Charles Dickens Six Pack: Six Dickens Classics
“Numbers are the product of counting. Quantities are the product of measurement. This means that numbers can conceivably be accurate because there is a discontinuity between each integer and the next. Between two and three there is a jump. In the case of quantity, there is no such jump; and because jump is missing in the world of quantity, it is impossible for any quantity to be exact. You can have exactly three tomatoes. You can never have exactly three gallons of water. Always quantity is approximate.” WorldMeanTwoThreeNextWaterNumbersCasesImpossibleMissingProductsQuantityAccurateCountingMeasurementTomatoesGallonsDiscontinuityIntegers Author:Gregory Bateson
“Anita Johnston, Ph.D., author of Eating in the Light of the Moon, taught me to look in the mirror with curiosity rather than fear. So I may look at my reflection and think, 'That's interesting. I wonder why my body seems bigger today than it did yesterday. Maybe it's water weight. Maybe it's my outfit. Or maybe my eyes are just playing tricks on me.' I know it's not possible for me to gain a noticeable amount of weight overnight, so I will go no further than that. I move on with my day without skipping a beat-and definitely without missing a meal.” ThinkingKnowsLooksMayBodyLightSeemsEyeTodayMovingWaterInterestingWonderMissingTaughtAmountMoonEatingBeatsReflectionGainsWeightBiggerMirrorsCuriosityYesterdayTricksMeals Author:Jenni Schaefer

“We, the people, gave the marching orders to our democratically-elected officials and instructed them. We wanted out of Vietnam and we got out of Vietnam. We wanted women's right to choose and we got women's right to choose. We got the EPA, we got the Clean Air Act, Water Act, we got rights for workers in the workplace to be protected from dangers. We accomplished pretty much all of what we wanted when we had the courage of our convictions. That is the missing ingredient.” PeopleWantedOrderWaterRightsAirMissingDangerCleanWorkersConvictionOfficialsAccomplishedIngredientsVietnamProtectedWorkplaceElected OfficialsClean AirEpa Author:Jill Stein
“Whenever poetry and politics are mentioned in the same breath, we tend to miss the point entirely - as I often have - and we ask ourselves whether poetry and politics even belong together, because they're often so poorly married that we think of them as oil and water.” ThinkingTogetherAsksWaterMissingMarriedBreathsOilOil And Water Author:Andre Naffis-Sahely
“GOING TO WALDEN It isn't very far as highways lie. I might be back by nightfall, having seen The rough pines, and the stones, and the clear water. Friends argue that I might be wiser for it. They do not hear that far-off Yankee whisper: How dull we grow from hurrying here and there! Many have gone, and think me half a fool To miss a day away in the cool country. Maybe. But in a book I read and cherish, Going to Walden is not so easy a thing As a green visit. It is the slow and difficult Trick of living, and finding it where you are.” ThinkingBookCountryMightLyingGrowsEasyDifficultWaterHalfGoneClearMissingFoolFindingsStonesGreenArguingTricksDullRoughCherishWhere You AreWiserHighwaysYankeesHere And ThereHurryingNightfallClear Water Book:The River Styx, Ohio, and other poems Source: The River Styx, Ohio, and other poems
