“The mind of a generation is its speech. A writer makes aspects of that speech enduring by putting them in print. He whittles at the words and phrases of today and makes of them forms to set the mind of tomorrow's generation. That's history. A writer who writes straight is the architect of history.” WritingMindTodayFormGenerationsTomorrowSpeechAspectEndurePhrasesPrintArchitect Book:John Dos Passos: the major nonfictional prose Source: John Dos Passos: the major nonfictional prose
“It was part of war; men died, more would die, that was past, and what mattered now was the business in hand; those who lived would get on with it. Whatever sorrow was felt, there was no point in talking or brooding about it, much less in making, for form's sake, a parade of it. Better and healthier to forget it, and look to tomorrow.The celebrated British stiff upper lip, the resolve to conceal emotion which is not only embarrassing and useless, but harmful, is just plain commons sense” MenLooksWarHandsPastFormDiesFeltForgetEmotionTalkingTomorrowSorrowDiedSakeLipsBritishUselessResolveEmbarrassingForget ItArt Of WarNo PointParadesBroodingStiff Upper Lip Author:George MacDonald
“The die is cast in Canada: there are two ethnic and linguistic groups; each is too strong and too deeply rooted in the past, too firmly bound to a mother culture, to be able to swamp the other. But if the two will collaborate inside of a truly pluralist state, Canada could become a privileged place where the federalist form of government, which is the government of tomorrow's world, will be perfected.” IfsWorldTwoStatesGovernmentAblePastFormMotherDiesCultureStrongGroupsTomorrowBoundsCastsCanadaRootedPrivilegedForms Of GovernmentSwampsFederalist Author:Pierre Trudeau
“Have I said clearly enough that the Community we created is not an end in itself? It is a process of change, continuing in that same process which in an earlier period produced our national forms of life. The sovereign nations of the past can no longer solve the problems of the present: they cannot ensure their own progress or control their own future. And the Community itself is only a stage on the way of the organized world of tomorrow.” WorldWaySaidEndsEnoughProblemPastFormNationsProcessCommunityProgressStageTomorrowPeriodsSolveOrganizedContinuingSovereignProcess Of Change Author:Jean Monnet

“Once you’ve lived a little you will find that whatever you send out into the world comes back to you in one way or another. It may be today, tomorrow, or years from now, but it happens; usually when you least expect it, usually in a form that’s pretty different from the original. Those coincidental moments that change your life seem random at the time but I don’t think they are. At least that’s how it’s worked out in my life. And I know I’m not the only one.” ThinkingKnowsWorldWayYearsMayLittlesDifferentMomentsSeemsHappensTodayFormTomorrowOriginalsOne WayChanging Your Life Author:Slash
“No other life forms know they are alive, and neither do they know they will die. This is our curse alone. Without this hex upon our heads, we would never have withdrawn as far as we have from the natural—so far and for such a time that it is a relief to say what we have been trying with our all not to say: We have long since been denizens of the natural world. Everywhere around us are natural habitats, but within us is the shiver of startling and dreadful things. Simply put: We are not from here. If we vanished tomorrow, no organism on this planet would miss us. Nothing in nature needs us.” IfsKnowsWorldNeedsTryingLongHas BeensFormDiesNaturalAliveMissingPlanetsTomorrowCurseReliefOrganismsNatural WorldHabitatShiverNatural Habitats Author:Thomas Ligotti
