“To conclude this discussion, assessment of justice demands engagement with the 'eyes of mankind',first, because we may variously identify with the others elsewhere and not just with our local community;second, because our choices and actions may affect the lives of others far as well as near;and third,because what they see from their respective perspective of history and geography may help us to overcome our own parochialism.” FirstsWellsMayHelpingEyeActionChoicesCommunityJusticeMankindPerspectiveDemandThirdsOvercomingLocalsDiscussionEngagementElsewhereGeographyAssessmentLives Of OthersOur ChoicesLocal CommunityParochialism Book:The Idea of Justice Source: The Idea of Justice

“As a rule, with me an unfinished [idea] is a thing that might as well be rubbed out. It's better, if there's something good in it that I might make use of elsewhere, to leave it at the back of my mind than on paper in a drawer. If I leave it in a drawer it remains the same thing but if it's in the memory it becomes transformed into something else.” IfsMindWellsIdeasUseMightMemoriesPaperRemainsTransformedElsewhereOf My MindUnfinishedDrawers Author:T.

“I suppose my interest in looking for life elsewhere in the universe really dates back to my teens. What teenager doesn't look up at the sky at night and think am I alone in the universe? Well most people get over it, but I never did and though I made a career more in physics and cosmology than astrobiology I've always had a soft spot for the subject of life because it does seem so mysterious.” PeopleThinkingWellsLooksDoeMadeSeemsNightUniverseInterestCareersSkySubjectsPhysicsSpotsMysteriousTeenagerLook UpOver ItElsewhereTeensGet OverCosmology Author:Paul Davies
