“If you can somehow force a liberal into a point-counterpoint argument, his retorts will bear no relation to what you’ve said - unless you were in fact talking about your looks, your age, your weight, your personal obsessions, or whether you are a fascist. In the famous liberal two-step, they leap from one idiotic point to the next, so you can never nail them. It’s like arguing with someone with Attention Deficit Disorder.” IfsLooksSaidTwoFactsAgeNextForceAttentionTalkingStepsBearsArgumentWeightRelationArguingObsessionLeapDisorderNailsDeficitFascistsIdioticAttention Deficit DisorderRetorts Author:Ann Coulter

“The further we analyse the manner in which such an engine performs its processes and attains its results, the more we perceive how distinctly it places in a true and just light the mutual relations and connexion of the various steps of mathematical analysis; how clearly it separates those things which are in reality distinct and independent, and unites those which are mutually dependent.” RealityLightProcessResultsStepsRelationIndependentVariousMathematicalPerceiveAnalysisDependentMutualEnginesConnexionMathematical Analysis Author:Ada Lovelace
“Thought is not what inhabits a certain conduct and gives it its meaning; rather, it is what allows one to step back from this way of acting or reacting, to present it to oneself as an object of thought and to question it as to its meaning, its conditions, and its goals. Thought is freedom in relation to what one does, the motion by which one detaches from it, establishes it as an object, and reflects on it as a problem.” WayGivingDoeProblemCertainGoalActingStepsConditionsObjectsRelationOneselfReacting Author:Michel Foucault

“Let's not forget that for thousands of years the institution of marriage has been between a man and a woman. Until quite recently, in a limited number of countries, there has been no such thing as a marriage between persons of the same gender. Suddenly we are faced with the claim that thousands of years of human experience should be set aside because we should not discriminate in relation to the institution of marriage. When that claim is made, the burden of proving that this step will not undo the wisdom and stability of millennia of experience lies on those who would make the change.” MenShouldYearsHumansPersonsHas BeensMadeCountryLyingForgetNumbersStepsProveClaimsRelationInstitutionsBurdenGenderStabilityHuman Experience Author:Dallin H.

“The first effect of the mind growing cultivated is that processes once multiple get to be performed in a single act. Lazarus has called this the progressive "condensation" of thought. ... Steps really sink from sight. An advanced thinker sees the relations of his topics is such masses and so instantaneously that when he comes to explain to younger minds it is often hard ... Bowditch, who translated and annotated Laplace's Méchanique Céleste, said that whenever his author prefaced a proposition by the words "it is evident," he knew that many hours of hard study lay before him.” MindFirstsSaidHardScienceProcessHoursStepsStudyGrowingEffectsMassEvidenceSightRelationLaysProgressiveThinkerMultipleEvidentTopicsPropositionsLazarusCondensation Author:William James
