“There are two ways of doing battle against Disgrace. You may live it down; or you may run away from it and hide. The first method is heart-breaking, but sure. The second cannot be relied upon because of the uncomfortable way Disgrace has of turning up at your heels.” WayFirstsHeartMayTwoRunningBattleMethodUncomfortableRunning AwayHeelsDisgraceTwo WaysHeart Breaking Book:Buttered Side Down Source: Buttered Side Down
“Science has an uncomfortable way of pushing human beings from center stage. In our prescientific stories, humans began as the focal point of Nature, living on an Earth that was the center of the universe. As the origins of the Earth and of mankind were investigated more carefully, it became clear that Nature had other interests beyond people, and the Earth was less central than previously hoped. Humankind was just one branch of the great family of life, and the Earth is a smallish planet orbiting an unexceptional sun quite far out on one arm of a run-of-the-mill spiral galaxy.” PeopleWayHumansStoriesRunningEarthUniverseInterestHuman BeingsSunClearMankindStagePlanetsArmsUncomfortableBranchesJust OnePushingHumankindGalaxyLiving OnMillsSpiralsCenter Of The UniverseGreat FamilyFocal PointCenter Stage Author:Seth Lloyd
“All I can tell you is I played with Johnny Mitchell. Johnny Mitchell was one of the greatest athletic talents I ever played with, but I could never trust him. When the game was on the line and he was supposed to run an out route at 10 yards, he would run an in route at eight and slide to the outside and scream to me that he was open. But it was how he got open that really made me uncomfortable in trusting him.” MadeI CanRunningGamesSportsLinesTalentEightUncomfortableScreamYardsRoutesAthleticSlidesNever TrustTrusting Him Author:Boomer Esiason
