“I love moving water, I love ships, I love the sharp definition, the concentrated humanity, the sublime solitude of life at sea. The dangers of it only make present to us the peril inherent in all existence, which the stupid, ignorant, un-travelled land-worm never discovers; and the art of it, so mathematical, so exact, so rewarding to intelligence, appeals to courage and clears the mind of superstition, while filling it with humility and true religion.” MindArtMovingHumanityWaterExistenceSeaLandStupidDangerHumilitySolitudeDefinitionsIgnorantShipsMathematicalAppealsSuperstitionsInherentSublimeWormsFillingPerilTrue ReligionMoving Water Author:George Santayana

“An enormous amount of modern ingenuity is expended on finding defences for the indefensible conduct of the powerful. As I have said above, these defences generally exhibit themselves most emphatically in the form of appeals to physical science. And of all the forms in which science, or pseudo-science, has come to the rescue of the rich and stupid, there is none so singular as the singular invention of the theory of races.” SaidFormPowerfulRaceRichModernStupidTheoryAmountFindingsEnormousInventionAppealsRescueDefenceExhibitsIngenuityPseudoPhysical Science Book:The Essential Gilbert K.

“Opera on television in Europe is very important. If you think about it in the broadest sense: a lot of the dramas made in India with music are practically operas. They're not sung but they have a very big appeal. I don't know why American television people are so stupid but at the moment, they just seem to have some sort of a block. They just do what they do and they do it for a certain number of years. Then it wears out and they try something else. It's just a matter of time I think.” PeopleIfsThinkingKnowsTryingYearsMadeImportantMatterMomentsBigsSeemsCertainNumbersStupidTelevisionDramaEuropeIndiaBlockAppealsOperaMatter Of TimeAmerican Television Author:Robert Ashley
