Gentlemen, welcome to the world of reality – there is no audience. No one to applaud, to admire. No one to see you. Do you understand? Here is the truth – actual heroism receives no ovation, entertains no one. No one queues up to see it. No one is interested.
In reality, genuine epiphanies are extremely rare. In contemporary adult life maturation & acquiescence to reality are gradual processes. Modern usage usually deploys epiphany as a metaphor. It is usually only in dramatic representations, religious iconography, and the 'magical thinking' of children that insight is compressed to a sudden blinding flash.
The problem is that once the rules of art are debunked, and once the unpleasant realities the irony diagnoses are revealed and diagnosed, 'then' what do we do?
If you're automatically sure that you know what reality is and who and what is really important-if you want to operate on your default-setting-then you, like me, will not consider possibilities that aren't pointless and annoying.
...the most obvious, ubiquitous, important realities are often the ones that are hardest to see and talk about.
What the really great artists do is they're entirely themselves. They're entirely themselves, they've got their own vision, they have their own way of fracturing reality, and if it's authentic and true, you will feel it in your nerve endings.
In reality, there is no such thing as not voting: you either vote by voting, or you vote by staying home and tacitly doubling the value of some Diehard's vote.
The section that failed was probably built around 1895. The design life of our structures is 50 years, so it's more than doubled its design life.
The summer concerts in Stone Park have been one of my passions.
Sometimes our technical specification is slightly ahead of the industry standard - therefore we like working with vendors who are flexible enough to invest in developing appropriate solutions. Their Adaptive EDGE Architecture is in line with our campus strategy.
You get more bang for the buck expanding capacity with rail than by building more lanes. The Eisenhower Interstate System is now mature. We need similar vision for the 21st century. We don't just need more lanes of pavement. We need to ask how we?re going to move freight in this country. And the answer should include rail.
Just keep a paper copy of what you filed.
I'm still sawing and cutting underhand and it seems to be getting better,
To divert meaningful volumes of through-trucks from I-81 in Virginia, the upgraded rail line would need to handle six new trains per hour, not per day.
