“Thank God for that. You can shut them, say, 'Hold on a moment.' You play God to it. But who has ever torn himself from the claw that encloses you when you drop a seed in a TV parlour? It grows you any shape it wishes! It is an environment as real as the world. It becomes and is the truth. Books can be beaten down with reason. But with all my knowledge and scepticism, I have never been able to argue with a one-hundred-piece symphony orchestra, full colour, three dimensions, and I being in and part of those incredible parlours.” WorldBookRealReasonPlayMomentsAbleThreeWishGrowsEnvironmentPiecesTvsShapesHundredIncrediblesSeedsArguingColourDimensionsThank GodBeatenTornOrchestraSymphonyClawsScepticismKnowledge And PowerThree DimensionsSymphony Orchestras Author:Ray Bradbury

“A gentleman of ambition is aware of the people he wishes to be associated with both socially and commercially. He knows that moving through different levels of society is akin to stepping through different rooms in an enormous house, each door leading to a grander environment than the last. He may, of course, settle for the comfort of any room he reaches. Alternatively, he may continue through successive doors to surround himself with even greater fineries and riches.” PeopleKnowsMayDifferentLastsMovingCoursesHouseWishLevelsRoomsEnvironmentGreaterDoorsComfortAmbitionRichesEnormousSettlingGentlemanSurroundDifferent Levels Author:Chris Murray
“I think that women as a group are so powerful. I still don't think we are able to embrace our power well enough yet. We think we live in a man's world and we have to follow their rules, and yet, we're so different, and our rules are so different. I wish that we could come together more as a political force. If women ran the world, I don't believe that there would be war. I really don't.... We understand the bigger picture. We understand our impact on the environment, on the world. We understand the generations that will go after us because we gave birth to them.” IfsThinkingMenWorldBelieveWellsStillsDifferentWarEnoughWould BeAbleTogetherPoliticalForceWishWomenPowerfulEnvironmentGenerationsGroupsBirthBiggerImpactEmbraceDon't BelieveRanBigger Picture Author:Kyra Sedgwick

“Even if the constants which economists wish to determine were less numerous, and the method of experiment more accessible, we should still be faced with the fact that the constants themselves are different at different times. The gravitation constant is the same always. But the economic constants-these elasticities of demand and supply-depending, as they do, upon human consciousness, are liable to vary. The constitution of the atom, as it were, and not merely its position, changes under the influence of environment.” IfsShouldHumansStillsDifferentFactsWishConsciousnessEnvironmentInfluenceEconomicPositionDemandConstitutionMethodConstantDetermineExperimentsAtomsEconomistVaryLiableDifferent TimesHuman ConsciousnessGravitationElasticity Author:Arthur Cecil Pigou
