Why must we be eternally on our knees before the Kants and Hugos?

We could raise prodigious cities and create nations, and explore the universe.

We too could wrest iron from the bowels of the earth and fashion it into ships and machines.

All praise to the masters indeed, but we too could produce a Kant or a Hugo.

You don't argue with a four-year old about why he shouldn't eat candy for dinner. You don't punch a mentally handicapped guy even if he punches you first. And you don't argue when a women tells you she's only making 80 cents to your dollar. It's the path of least resistance. You save your energy for more important battles.

On the Northern Ireland question, for instance, the British and Irish governments prohibit media contact with members of the IRA, but we have always gone ahead, believing in the right to information.

There is probably no such thing as a level playing field in political campaigns.

As politicians we have to react to the fact that many people do not feel that they can relate to the EU.

No temptation can ever be measured by the value of its object.

Linguistics will have to recognise laws operating universally in language, and in a strictly rational manner, separating general phenomena from those restricted to one branch of languages or another.

Stress and looks are directly connected as far as I am concerned. If you are happy, you look good.
