“Conservatism, though a necessary element in any stable society, is not a social program; in its paternalistic, nationalistic and power adoring tendencies it is often closer to socialism than true liberalism; and with its traditionalistic, anti-intellectual, and often mystical propensities it will never, except in short periods of disillusionment, appeal to the young and all those others who believe that some changes are desirable if this world is to become a better place.” IfsWorldBelieveYoungSocialThis WorldPeriodsElementsIntellectualProgramSocialismTendenciesAppealsLiberalismStableMysticalBetter PlaceDesirableConservatismDisillusionmentPropensityNationalisticSocial Programs Author:Friedrich August von Hayek
“Every year, in the deep midwinter, there descends upon this world a terrible fortnight. ... every shop is a choked mass of humanity ... nerves are jangled and frayed, purses emptied to no purposes, all amusements and all occupations suspended in favor of frightful businesses with brown paper, string, letters, cards, stamps, and crammed post offices. This period is doubtless a foretaste of whatever purgatory lies in store for human creatures.” WorldYearsHumansLyingPurposeHumanityThis WorldPeriodsTerribleCreaturesOfficePaperMassLettersStoresFavorsChristmasCardsPostsShopsBrownStringsNervesOccupationStampsAmusementPursesSuspendedPurgatoryPost OfficeFortnightMidwinter Author:Rose Macaulay

“My falling in love with spoken word poetry definitely came out of that time period where all the adults around me were failing to supply me with any answers. Everyone was too busy dealing with things that were more important. I was pretty lost and invisible. And all of a sudden, this world opened up where I could get on stage and perform in front of my peers. People would listen to me and see me, and people would say, "That thing you created was important." And that was so validating and necessary at that specific moment.” PeopleWorldImportantMomentsFallLostAnswersFailingStageFrontsThis WorldPeriodsAdultsFalling In LoveBusyInvisiblePeersToo BusyListen To MeSpoken WordTime Periods Author:Sarah Kay

“There's always someone kicking guns. We wanted ["Badlands"] to be a world without guns and bullets, where martial arts was the form of fighting and defense and attack. Martial arts is king in this world. That was the first thing. We didn't want it to be a period piece either. We felt those are overdone and stuffy.
