“Giving a reader a sex scene that is only half right is like giving her half a kitten. It is not half as cute as a whole kitten; it is a bloody, godawful mess. A half-good sex scene is not half as hot; it actually moves into the negative numbers, draining any heat from the surrounding material.” GivingWholeMovingSexNumbersHalfMaterialsReaderSceneNegativeHotMessCuteHeatBloodyKittenDrainingGood Sex Author:Sandra Newman
“The mathematical thermology created by Fourier may tempt us to hope that, as he has estimated the temperature of the space in which we move, me may in time ascertain the mean temperature of the heavenly bodies: but I regard this order of facts as for ever excluded from our recognition. We can never learn their internal constitution, nor, in regard to some of them, how heat is absorbed by their atmosphere. We may therefore define Astronomy as the science by which we discover the laws of the geometrical and mechanical phenomena presented by the heavenly bodies.” MayMeanFactsBodyMovingLawOrderSpaceConstitutionRegardAstronomyRecognitionMathematicalAtmosphereHeatInternalsHeavenlyTemperatureExcludedHeavenly BodiesFourier Book:The Positive Philosophy of Auguste Comte Source: The Positive Philosophy of Auguste Comte
“Doing the same things you did when the economy was good is not good enough. You will have to put more coals on the fire in a poor economy to get the same heat you received in a good economy. You must give more energy, more thought, more service, and get into positive thinking material more frequently. Become more selective about who you spend time with. Love a little more, hate a little less. Think about it. You can progressively move on an upward path toward any goal. The choice is yours as to who or what controls you!” ThinkingGivingLittlesEnoughMovingHateChoicesEnergyGoalPoorEconomyPathFirePositive ThinkingMaterialsHeatGood EnoughEnd TimesCoalSpend TimeNot Good EnoughSelective Author:Bob Proctor
“Rome's riches are in too immediate juxtaposition.
