    Francis Bacon (2010). “Bacon's Advancement of Learning and the New Atlantis”, p.107, Lulu.com
  • It's something that's difficult to explain but I think all writers work this way to some extent, whether we're aware of it or not. For me, writing has little to do with thinking.

Neither path is inevitable.

  • We current Justices read the Constitution in the only way that we can: as Twentieth Century Americans. We look to the history of the time of framing and to the intervening history of interpretation. But the ultimate question must be, what do the words of the text mean in our time. For the genius of the Constitution rests not in any static meaning it might have had in a world that is dead and gone, but in the adaptability of its great principles to cope with current problems and current needs.

    Thoughtful   Sight   Sky  
    Percival Lowell (1908). “Mars as the abode of life”

    Nikola Tesla (2013). “The Nikola Tesla Treasury”, p.508, Simon and Schuster
