A righteous man silenced by supposed justice can bring about the downfall of a nation. – Christen Kuikoua	added by ChristenKuikouafans 1 month ago
We seldom realize, for example, that our most private thoughts and emotions are not actually our own. For we think in terms of languages and images which we did not invent, but which were given to us by our society. We copy emotional reactions from our parents, learning from them that excrement is supposed to have a disgusting smell and that vomiting is supposed to be an unpleasant sensation. The dread of death is also learned from their anxieties about sickness and from their attitudes to funerals and corpses. Our social environment has this power just because we do not exist apart from a society. Society is our extended mind and body. Yet the very society from which the individual is inseparable is using its whole irresistible force to persuade the individual that he is indeed separate! Society as we now know it is therefore playing a game with self-contradictory rules. – Alan Watts	added by JokerGem 3 months ago

The problem is a simple one. Normally, when you follow a recipe, you kind of know what you’re supposed to get. When you reproduce a historical recipe, you have no target, what we’re really trying to do is use organic chemistry to be able to tell us something about the process, because we think that the process was actually what would determine the range of possible scents. – Sean Coughlin	Found on CNN 1 year ago

It’s becoming more and more dire, it’s tough. We need to use machinery (for rescue operations) but machines cannot go to places where they were supposed to excavate because of the rains. – Charles Kalemba	Found on CNN 1 year ago
Pay attention to the context because context matters, someone using ‘ma’am’ may not be choosing ‘ma’am’ in a way that’s supposed to be derogatory. They may be. But you need to read between the lines to see what’s actually happening. – Jennifer Cramer	Found on CNN 1 year ago
