“If there's a character type I despise, it's the all-capable, all-knowing, physically perfect protagonist. My idea of hell would be to be trapped in a four-hundred page, first-person, first-tense, running monologue with a character like that. I think writers who produce characters along those lines should graduate from high school and move on.” IfsThinkingShouldWritingFirstsPersonsIdeasCharacterWould BeRunningSchoolMovingLinesPerfectHellKnowingFourProduceTypePagesCapableHundredHigh SchoolDespiseGraduatesTrappedTenseFirst PersonProtagonistsMonologuesGraduating High School Author:Craig Johnson

“I think nobody would claim that random genetic drift is capable of producing adaptation, that is to say the illusion of design. Random genetic drift can't produce wings that are good at flying, or eyes that are good at seeing, or legs that are good at running. But random genetic drift probably is very important in driving evolution at the molecular genetic level.” ThinkingImportantEyeRunningLevelsSeeingDesignProduceEvolutionCapableIllusionClaimsWingsLegsDrivingFlyingAdaptation Author:Richard Dawkins
“The Tao doesn't take sides; it gives birth to both good and evil. The Master doesn't take sides; she welcomes both saints and sinners. The Tao is like a bellows: it is empty yet infinitely capable.

“Good action and thoughts produce consequences which tend to neutralize, or put a stop to, the result of evil thoughts and actions. For as we give up the life of self (and note that, like forgiveness, repentance and humility are also special cases of giving), as we abandon what the German mystics called "the I, me, mine," we make ourselves progressively capable of receiving grace. By grace we are enabled to know reality more completely, and this knowledge of reality helps us to give up more of the life of selfhood - and so on, in a mounting spiral of illumination and regeneration.” KnowsGivingSelfHelpingRealityActionEvilResultsCasesGraceSpecialProduceHumilityMinesGiving UpCapableConsequenceNotesAbandonRepentanceReceivingIlluminationSpiralsRegenerationThoughts And ActionsGood ActionsEvil Thoughts Author:Aldous Huxley

Just like a chicken can't lay a duck egg, a chicken can't lay a duck egg, because the system of the chicken isn't constructed in the way to produce a duck egg.
