“'2001' was written in an age which now lies beyond one of the great divides in human history; we are sundered from it forever by the moment when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin stepped out on to the Sea of Tranquility. Now history and fiction have become inexorably intertwined.” HumansMomentsAgeLyingFictionForeverWrittenSeaDividesTranquilityHuman HistoryBuzzArmstrongIntertwined Author:Arthur C. Clarke

“But when I saw the cursive grace of Guido Rahr's fly line writing prayers I couldn't read to the river gods of Outer Mongolia, I knew my name was written there too. Fly fishing was going to be my version of my father's sport, my nod to my Scottish ancestors and to my self, and to the fish crazed part of America I had claimed as my own.” WritingSelfAmericaFatherNamesSportsLinesMy OwnPrayerSawsGraceWrittenSeaRiversFishesVersionsBoatLakesFishingAncestorScottishFly FishingMongoliaCursiveGuidos Author:Jessica Maxwell
“I have never seen an adequate description anywhere of the amazement, the uncomprehending horror of the bulk of the American people which preceded the firing of that gun at Sumter. Politicians or far-sighted leaders on both sides knew what was coming. And it is they who have written histories of the war. But to the easy-going millions, busied with their farms or shops, the onrushing disaster was as inexplicable as an earthquake. Their protest arose from sea to sea like the clamor of a gigantic hive of frightened bees.” PeopleWarEasySidesLeaderMillionsWrittenSeaPoliticianHorrorGunDisasterCivil WarShopsDescriptionProtestFrightenedFarmsBeesBoth SidesAdequateEarthquakesAmazementInexplicableFiringClamorHivesEasy GoingWritten History Author:Rebecca Harding Davis

“I read the text; and then I come to the Shirat ha-Yam, to the Song of the Sea [Exodus 15], to the poetry. Who could have written such a poem except someone who went through it? It is so full of life, so full of truth, of passion, of concern. And the thousands and thousands of commentaries in the Talmudic tradition that have been written on it. It had to have happened. But even if not, I would attribute the same beauty to the text as I do now.” IfsHas BeensSongPassionWrittenHappenedSeaConcernTraditionAttributesCommentaryExodusYams Author:Elie Wiesel
“Scholars have found that references to Christ in Josephus were deliberately planted in the translation long after it was written, and the Latin references to Christ are not to a person of that name. In the Dead Sea Scrolls there was mention of a particular "teacher of righteousness" who had characteristics somewhat like those attributed to Christ, but it might easily have been someone else.” PersonsLongHas BeensMightFoundNamesChristTeacherWrittenSeaParticularCharacteristicsRighteousnessLatinScholarTranslations Author:Madalyn Murray O'Hair
