“Rumors and reports of man's relation with animals are the world's oldest news stories, headlined in the stars of the zodiac, posted on the walls of prehistoric caves, inscribed in the languages of Egyptian myth, Greek philosophy, Hindu religion, Christian art, our own DNA.

“Girls face two major sexual issues in America in the 1990s: One is an old issue of coming to terms with their own sexuality, defining a sexual self, making sexual choices and learning to enjoy sex. The other issue concerns the dangers girls face of being sexually assaulted. By late adolescence, most girls today either have been traumatized or know girls who have. They are fearful of males even as they are trying to develop intimate relations with them.” KnowsTryingHas BeensTwoSelfTodayAmericaFacesChoicesGirlSexEnjoyTermIssuesDangerLateMajorsConcernRelationMalesSexualityIntimateFearfulAdolescenceDefiningSexually Author:Mary Pipher
“The whole analogy of natural operations furnishes so complete and crushing an argument against the intervention of any but what are termed secondary causes, in the production of all the phenomena of the universe; that, in view of the intimate relations between Man and the rest of the living world; and between the forces exerted by the latter and all other forces, I can see no excuse for doubting that all are co-ordinated terms of Nature's great progression, from the formless to the formed from the inorganic to the organic from blind force to conscious intellect and will.” MenWorldI CanWholeUniverseForceCausesTermNaturalViewsDoubtConsciousArgumentRelationBlindProductionsExcuseIntellectOperationsIntimateCrushLatterInterventionProgressionAnalogiesNo Excuses Author:Thomas Huxley
“My father and I were never intimate in the sense of my coming to him with confidences or seeking advice. Our relationship was rather that of host and guest.

“In setting up a business under the name and meaning of the Golden Rule, I was publicly binding myself, in my business relations, to a principle which had been a real and intimate part of my family upbringing.

“It's not like it's a brand new vocabulary that permits to have a new reality. It's rather a new vocabulary that lets us see that our lives have always been more complex than traditional categories allow. So, I think, you know, maybe the introduction of new words permits us to rethink what we've taken for granted about what forms bodies take, what the name is for certain kinds of sexual, intimate relations, how we think of a life.” ThinkingKnowsKindBodyRealityFormCertainNamesTakenOur LivesRelationComplexesTraditionalBrandsGrantedIntimateCategoriesPermitVocabularyIntroductionBrand NewTaken For GrantedNew Words Author:Judith Butler

“For most progressives, what happens in families is a matter of "just" women's issues and children's issues.

“The media want to maintain their intimate relation to state power. They want to get leaks, they want to get invited to the press conferences.

“The fate of our times is characterized by rationalization and intellectualization and, above all, by the 'disenchantment of the world.' Precisely the ultimate and most sublime values have retreated from public life either into the transcendental realm of mystic life or into the brotherliness of direct and personal human relations. It is not accidental that our greatest art is intimate and not monumental.” WorldHumansArtPhilosophyValuesFateArt IsDirectUltimateRelationHistoricalIntimateRealmsOur TimeSublimeMysticPublic LifeHuman RelationsTranscendentalDisenchantment Book:From Max Weber: Essays in Sociology Source: From Max Weber: Essays in Sociology
