“But the idea of science and systematic knowledge is wanting to our whole instruction alike, and not only to that of our business class ... In nothing do England and the Continent at the present moment more strikingly differ than in the prominence which is now given to the idea of science there, and the neglect in which this idea still lies here; a neglect so great that we hardly even know the use of the word science in its strict sense, and only employ it in a secondary and incorrect sense.” KnowsStillsIdeasWholeMomentsUseScienceLyingGivenEducationClassEnglandPresent MomentNeglectInstructionContinentsStrictSystematicProminence Book:The Works of Matthew Arnold Source: The Works of Matthew Arnold
“Someone once told me a story about long term relationships. To think of them as a continent to explore. I could spend a lifetime backpacking through Africa, and I would still never know all there is to know about that continent. To stay the course, to stay intentional, to stay curious and connected - that's the heart of it. But it's so easy to lose track of the trail, to get tired, to want to give up, or to want a new adventure. It can be so easy to lose sight of the goodness and mystery within the person sitting right in front of you.” ThinkingKnowsWantGivingHeartPersonsLongStillsStoriesCoursesEasyTermLosesMysteryFrontsAdventureGoodnessGiving UpSittingSightTiredLifetimeTrackConnectedCuriousLong TermContinentsTrailsBackpackingLong Term RelationshipNew Adventure Author:Joy Williams
“At a time when it's possible for thirty people to stand on the top of Everest in one day, Antarctica still remains a remote, lonely and desolate continent. A place where it's possible to see the splendours and immensities of the natural world at its most dramatic and, what's more, witness them almost exactly as they were, long, long before human beings ever arrived on the surface of this planet. Long may it remain so.” PeopleWorldHumansMayLongStillsNaturalHuman BeingsPlanetsOne DayLonelyRemainsSurfaceWitnessDramaticThirtyContinentsNatural WorldEverestDesolateImmensitySplendourAntarctica Author:David Attenborough
