“Philosophical studies are beset by one peril, a person easily brings himself to think that he thinks; and a smattering of science encourages conceit. He is above his companions. A hieroglyphic is a spell. The gnostic dogma is cuneiform writing to the million. Moreover, the vain man is generally a doubter. It is Newton who sees himself in a child on the sea shore, and his discoveries in the colored shells.” ThinkingMenWritingChildrenPersonsPhilosophyMillionsStudySeaDiscoveryPhilosophicalVainCompanionShoreSpellsDogmaShellsPerilConceitNewtonDoubtersHieroglyphicsCuneiform Author:Robert Aris Willmott

“Here in the Great Lakes region, a fourth year in a row of declining water levels has caused millions of dollars in losses for shipping companies, marinas and other businesses and prompted further restrictions on future water withdrawals for expanding suburbs.

“I am beginning to understand that the stream the scientists are studying is not just a little creek. It's a river of energy that moves across regions in great geographic cycles. Here, life and death are only different points on a continuum. The stream flows in a circle through time and space, turning death into life across coastal ecosystems, as it has for more than a million years. But such streams no longer flow in the places where most of us live.” YearsLittlesDifferentMovingEnergySpaceMillionsStudyFlowRiversScientistEnvironmentalCirclesStreamsLife And DeathRegionsCyclesTime And SpaceEcosystemsRough TimesContinuumCreeksCoastal Author:Kathleen Moore
“There are still countries where women don't enjoy basic rights like the vote or the freedom to study or the freedom of choice in marriage.

“Nineteen hundred and three will bring great advances in surgery, in the study of bacteria, in the knowledge of the cause and prevention of disease. Medicine is played out.

“The federal government has made explicit and implicit promises to millions of people, but has put no money aside in order to keep those promises.
