“Since man does not create physical matter, those who handle material objects in the production process are not producers in that sense. Economic benefits result from the transformation of matter in form, location, or availability (intellectually or temporally). It is these transformations that create economic benefits valued by consumers, and whoever arranges such transformations contributes to the value of things, whether his hands actually come into contact with physical objects or not.” MenDoeMatterHandsFormValuesProcessResultsEconomicObjectsMaterialsBenefitsTransformationProductionsHandleContactProducersConsumersLocationAvailability Author:Thomas Sowell
“Fighting, and the employment of force, even for the right cause, will not bring about good results. The oppressed who have right on their side, must not take that right by force; the evil would continue. Hearts must be changed. The rich must wish to give! Life in man should be like a flame, warming all with whom it comes into contact. The spiritually awakened are like to bright torches in the sight of God, they give light and comfort to their fellows.” MenGivingShouldHeartLightFightingEvilForceWishCausesSidesResultsRichChangedComfortSightFellowsContactEmploymentFlamesOppressedAwakenedTorches Author:Abdu'l-Bahá
“Peter Watts has taken the core myths of the First Contact story and shaken them to pieces. The result is a shocking and mesmerizing performance, a tour-de-force of provocative and often alarming ideas. It is a rare novel that has the potential to set science fiction on an entirely new course. Blindsight is such a book.” FirstsBookIdeasStoriesCoursesForceResultsFictionNovelTakenPiecesPerformancesScience FictionMythCoreContactPeterShockingProvocativeFirst ContactMesmerizing Author:Karl Schroeder
“Every acceptance of suffering is an acceptance of that which exists. The denial of every form of suffering can result in a flight from reality in which contact with reality becomes ever thinner, ever more fragmentary. It is impossible to remove oneself totally from suffering, unless one removes oneself from life itself, no longer enters into relationships, makes oneself invulnerable.” RealityFormSufferingResultsImpossibleAcceptanceOneselfContactFlightDenialRemove Book:Suffering Source: Suffering

“I will miss the contact with the people - the privilege of trying to communicate to people every day that the court system is going to work for them the way it's supposed to work. That doesn't guarantee they're going to get the result they want, but the court is going to listen and follow the law and try to make a fair decision. That is an awesome privilege and responsibility I will miss.” PeopleWayWantTryingLawDecisionResultsResponsibilityMissingFairsCourtPrivilegeCommunicateContactGuaranteesGoing To WorkCourt SystemPrivilege And Responsibility Author:Steven Pacey
