Ralph Waldo Emerson

The mystic must be steadily told,-All that you say is just as true without the tedious use of that symbol as with it. Let us have a little algebra, instead of this trite rhetoric,-universal signs, instead of these village symbols,-and we shall both be gainers.

Lee Kuan Yew

Euripides seems to have felt that the dignified perfection of Sophocles could be challenged only by novelty and irresponsibility.

religious military real
It makes no sense for us to consider going back there and getting involved in what truly is a religious civil war. What real difference would (air strikes) make on the ground?
