“I’m the least fanciful guy around, but on nights when I wonder whether there was any point to my day, I think about this: the first thing we ever did, when we started turning into humans, was draw a line across the cave door and say: Wild stays out. What I do is what the first men did. They built walls to keep back the sea. They fought the wolves for the hearth fire.” ThinkingMenFirstsHumansHeartNightGuyLinesWonderFireDoorsSeaWallDrawsBuiltCaves Author:Tana French

“I've always wanted to sail around the world in a handmade boat. And I built a boat.

“There are parliamentarians in Australia I really support. People through history, you know? Men like Ned Kelly in Australia who challenged ideals. Governor William McKell in Australia really set the tone of building a nation. The fundamentals of the country are built on what the governor McKell created. I think Sea Shepherd (Conservation Society) is a wonderful organization and I support what they do.” PeopleThinkingKnowsMenCountryNationsSupportWonderfulSeaBuildingBuiltIdealsOrganizationFundamentalsToneAustraliaGovernorsKnow MeConservationShepherds Author:Dustin Clare
“Because the US has control of the sea. Because the US has built up its wealth. Because the US is the only country in the world really not to have a war fought on its territory since the time of the Civil War ... Therefore we can afford mistakes that would kill other countries. And therefore we can take risks that they can't ... the core answer to why the United States is like this is we didn't fight World War I and World War II and the Cold War here.” WorldWarCountryStatesFightingWealthAnswersUnitedMistakeUnited StatesRiskSeaColdBuiltCoreWar Of The WorldsCivil WarTerritoryWorld War IiWorld War IOther CountriesCold War Author:George Friedman
“People get overwhelmed with folklore as fact. Take the Exodus. The Exodus did not occur. It could not have occurred. Wasn't necessary for it to occur. The Jews walked into Africa over a 16-mile land until they built the Suez Canal - that land is still there. Why would they have to leave by the sea. They didn't come by the sea. Certain people think you are against their religion when you use common sense.” PeopleThinkingStillsFactsUseCertainCommonSeaLandBuiltJewMilesCommon SenseOverwhelmedFolkloreCanalsExodus Author:John Henrik Clarke
