Scheele, it wa<strong>sstrong> <strong>sstrong>aid, never forgot anything if it had to do with chemi<strong>sstrong>try. He never forgot the look, the feel, the <strong>sstrong>mell of a <strong>sstrong>ub<strong>sstrong>tance, or the way it wa<strong>sstrong> tran<strong>sstrong>formed in chemical reaction<strong>sstrong>, never forgot anything he read, or wa<strong>sstrong> told, about the phenomena of chemi<strong>sstrong>try.

I<strong>sstrong> civilization progre<strong>sstrong><strong>sstrong>? The challenge, I think, i<strong>sstrong> clear; and, a<strong>sstrong> clearly, the final an<strong>sstrong>wer will be given not by our ama<strong>sstrong><strong>sstrong>ing of knowledge, or by the di<strong>sstrong>coverie<strong>sstrong> of our <strong>sstrong>cience, or by the <strong>sstrong>peed of our aircraft, but by the effect of our civilized activitie<strong>sstrong> a<strong>sstrong> a whole have upon the quality of our planet'<strong>sstrong> life-the life of plant<strong>sstrong> and animal<strong>sstrong> a<strong>sstrong> that of men. — Charles Lindbergh

What'<strong>sstrong> on your <strong>sstrong>hirt?" <strong>sstrong>he a<strong>sstrong>ked <strong>sstrong>uddenly. "Darth Vader," I an<strong>sstrong>wered bri<strong>sstrong>kly. For <strong>sstrong>omeone who held me in <strong>sstrong>uch obviou<strong>sstrong> contempt, <strong>sstrong>he a<strong>sstrong>ked a lot of que<strong>sstrong>tion<strong>sstrong>. "So you're a Trekkie." Thi<strong>sstrong> wa<strong>sstrong> a <strong>sstrong>tatement rather than a que<strong>sstrong>tion. I cringed. "Not exactly."

He i<strong>sstrong> in the particular. — Pearl S. Buck

Some people, when they have a holiday, ju<strong>sstrong>t want to go to <strong>sstrong>alt coat<strong>sstrong>, twenty-five mile<strong>sstrong> along the coa<strong>sstrong>t from Gla<strong>sstrong>gow.

And <strong>sstrong>ome want to go to the moon. It'<strong>sstrong> all about people'<strong>sstrong> AMBITIONS. — Alex Ferguson

The <strong>sstrong>orrow of war in<strong>sstrong>ide a <strong>sstrong>oldier'<strong>sstrong> heart wa<strong>sstrong> in a <strong>sstrong>trange way <strong>sstrong>imilar to the <strong>sstrong>orrow of love. It wa<strong>sstrong> a kind of no<strong>sstrong>talgia, like the immen<strong>sstrong>e <strong>sstrong>adne<strong>sstrong><strong>sstrong> of a world at du<strong>sstrong>k. It wa<strong>sstrong> a dane<strong>sstrong><strong>sstrong>, a mi<strong>sstrong><strong>sstrong>ing, a pain which could <strong>sstrong>end one <strong>sstrong>oaring back into the pa<strong>sstrong>t.

Yet mo<strong>sstrong>t women I know - no matter how clever, no matter how <strong>sstrong>trong - are dragged down by hu<strong>sstrong>band<strong>sstrong> or father<strong>sstrong> or title<strong>sstrong> or too many petticoat<strong>sstrong>, or prie<strong>sstrong>t<strong>sstrong> clutching at their hem<strong>sstrong>, telling them, 'No, you cannot do that, you cannot be that.'

Robot<strong>sstrong> can now milk cow<strong>sstrong>. Oil price<strong>sstrong> have fallen globally, meaning both the petro-<strong>sstrong>tate<strong>sstrong> and tho<strong>sstrong>e indirectly propped up by them are weakened.

China accounted for more than a third of global growth in recent year<strong>sstrong>, and it<strong>sstrong> growth engine multiplied the growth of many of the countrie<strong>sstrong> that exported raw material<strong>sstrong> to Beijing. That ha<strong>sstrong> <strong>sstrong>lowed.

The claim of fine tuning i<strong>sstrong> <strong>sstrong>ubjective. A<strong>sstrong> I <strong>sstrong>tated before, no mea<strong>sstrong>urement in phy<strong>sstrong>ic<strong>sstrong> i<strong>sstrong> perfect. The amount of preci<strong>sstrong>ion we demand can be increa<strong>sstrong>ed or decrea<strong>sstrong>ed at our whim. We could have an approximate mea<strong>sstrong>urement that ha<strong>sstrong> a huge margin of error and call it finely-tuned if we <strong>sstrong>o de<strong>sstrong>ire. Thei<strong>sstrong>t<strong>sstrong>, in particular, have a lot of <strong>sstrong>uch de<strong>sstrong>ire. They <strong>sstrong>o badly want God to be an indi<strong>sstrong>pen<strong>sstrong>able part of our univer<strong>sstrong>e'<strong>sstrong> creation, <strong>sstrong>o they <strong>sstrong>ee finely-tuned con<strong>sstrong>tant<strong>sstrong>.
They al<strong>sstrong>o tend to <strong>sstrong>weep under the rug the following fact: the va<strong>sstrong>t majority of our univer<strong>sstrong>e i<strong>sstrong> ho<strong>sstrong>tile to life, and they fail to con<strong>sstrong>ider that another hand in the proverbial deck might yield a better univer<strong>sstrong>e than our<strong>sstrong>, one teaming with life on every planet throughout the co<strong>sstrong>mo<strong>sstrong>. — G.M.

God language can tie people into knot<strong>sstrong>, of cour<strong>sstrong>e. In part, that i<strong>sstrong> becau<strong>sstrong>e 'God' i<strong>sstrong> not God'<strong>sstrong> name.

For <strong>sstrong>ome the highe<strong>sstrong>t imaginable power will be a petty and angry tribal baron en<strong>sstrong>conced high above the cloud<strong>sstrong> on a golden throne, vi<strong>sstrong>iting puni<strong>sstrong>hment on all who don't believe in him. But for other<strong>sstrong>, the highe<strong>sstrong>t power i<strong>sstrong> love, goodne<strong>sstrong><strong>sstrong>, ju<strong>sstrong>tice, or the <strong>sstrong>pirit of life it<strong>sstrong>elf. Each of u<strong>sstrong> project<strong>sstrong> our limited experience on a co<strong>sstrong>mic <strong>sstrong>creen in letter<strong>sstrong> a<strong>sstrong> big a<strong>sstrong> our mind<strong>sstrong> can fa<strong>sstrong>hion.
