“We thought it was only in science fiction that things created by humans could actually take over what is inherently our human heritage. But Thom Hartmann shows how we've already let that happen on a frightening scale - not in Frankenstein's monsters or Kubrick's creeping computer Hal - but in the corporations that present their friendly 'faces' to us as if we have nothing to fear from this ultimate usurpation of our rights as real humans.” IfsHumansRealShowsHappensFacesFictionRightsComputerUltimateScience FictionMonstersScalesCorporationsFriendlyHeritageFrighteningUsurpationFrankenstein's MonsterFriendly Faces Author:Ed Ayres
“When tempted, the shortest and surest way is to act like a little child at the breast; when we show it a frightful monster, it shrinks back and buries its face in its mother's bosom, that it may no longer behold it.” WayMayChildrenLittlesShowsFacesMotherMonstersTemptationBreastsTemptedShrinksBosoms Book:Spiritual Progress Source: Spiritual Progress
“I don't understand the feeling of, the way people speak of writing as though it were, like, some kind of djinn to be summoned or like it's the Loch Ness monster or seeing a shooting star. It's a physical act. It is a thing you do with your muscles and your body and your willpower. Watch, I'll show you: get a piece of paper. Get a pencil. Put the pencil on the paper and write the word 'something.'” PeopleWayWritingKindBookShowsFeelingsBodySpeakStarsWatchesPiecesSeeingPaperYour BodyMonstersComicShootingMusclesComic BookPencilsWillpowerShooting StarLoch Ness Monster Author:Matt Fraction
