“The most powerful influence exercised by the Arabs on general natural physics was that directed to the advances of chemistry ; a science for which this race created a new era.(...) Besides making laudatory mention of that which we owe to the natural science of the Arabs in both the terrestrial and celestial spheres, we must likewise allude to their contributions in separate paths of intellectual development to the general mass of mathematical science.” NaturalPowerfulRacePathInfluenceDevelopmentMassIntellectualPhysicsMathematicalErasContributionMost PowerfulChemistrySpheresCelestialNatural ScienceNew EraIntellectual Development Author:Alexander von Humboldt
“What after all, has maintained the human race on this old globe despite all the calamities of nature and all the tragic failings of mankind, if not faith in new possibilities, and courage to advocate them. Doubtless many times these new possibilities were declared by a man who, quite unconscious of courage, bore the "sense of being an exile, a condemned criminal, a fugitive from mankind." Did every one so feel who, in order to travel on his own proper path had been obliged to leave the traditional highway?” IfsMenFeelsHumansOrderRacePathFailingMankindPossibilityCriminalsTraditionalDespiteHuman RaceUnconsciousTragicBoresGlobesHighwaysExileObligedCalamityFugitiveNew Possibilities Book:Peace and Bread in Time of War Source: Peace and Bread in Time of War
“As we educate a child -- removing out of its path those obstacles over which we ourselves, in early days, have stumbled, and strengthening its mind with the aid of our own matured experience -- we, as it were, construct a new and better replica of ourselves, and thus enable the race to move slowly, but surely, forward towards the ultimate goal of existence -- towards perfection.” MindChildrenMovingGoalRaceExistencePathPerfectionUltimateObstaclesAidsEducateConstructsStrengtheningUltimate GoalMaturedMoving OutReplicaSlowly But Surely Author:Leonid Andreyev

“We all have to acknowledge the life and the path we were born into. And the things that define us, they're often somewhat narrow: our class, our race, our gender, where we grew up, what geography we were exposed to.

“There are sharply different, competing models of what trans advocacy looks like - those that seek to follow the path laid out by the most visible and well-funded lesbian and gay rights organizations in the US and those that seek to use grassroots strategies, center issues of race and poverty, and aim to dismantle harmful institutions and conditions to redistribute life chances.” WellsLooksDifferentUseChanceRacePovertyPathIssuesRightsConditionsGayModelsOrganizationAimInstitutionsStrategyVisibleCompetingTransGay RightsAdvocacyGrassroots Author:Dean Spade

“My conjecture is that most people will refuse to let go, even when their lives have become boring (at least in comparisons with possible lives lived by new generations). If this happens, there will eventually be no room for new generations. A kind of collective irrationality will lead to a bleak life for the last generation that decides to stay around. Unless we put and end to the human race (through global warming, for example), before this happens, individual egoism will block the path to a better world.” PeopleIfsWorldHumansKindEndsHappensLastsIndividualRoomsRacePathGenerationsExampleLetting GoRefuseBoringBlockHuman RaceGlobal WarmingCollectivesComparisonEgoismNew GenerationBleakIrrationalityConjecture Author:Torbjorn Tannsjo
