She had accepted him as he was and had spared him a great deal of loneliness. He had been unfair: while his imagination and vanity had given her too much importance, his pride had given her too little. He discovered the cruel paradox by which we always deceive ourselves twice about the people we love -- first to their advantage, then to their disadvantage. Today he understood that she had been genuine with him -- that she had been what she was, and that he owed her a good deal."

Swimming-drowning-falls on my to-do list somewhere below giving birth to porcupines."Oh, wait. You're right. We were arguing about when the Titanic actually sank.

Even Galen, wielding his smile as a thought deterrent, couldn't have talked me into getting in the water, could he? "I...I don't believe you." I decide as I say it. "I wouldn't get that upset about a date. Historical or otherwise."He shrugs. "It surprised me, too."I raise a BS brow. "Why would you argue about the date anyway? You could Google it all over the place and get the same answer."

A multinational corporation is neither a human nor a community, and in the sweatshops, defiled agribusiness fields, genetic mutation labs, ecological dead zones, the inhumanity is showing. Without genuine spiritual community, life becomes a struggle so lonely and grim that even Hillary Clinton has admitted "it takes a village"."

And it is so strange - the house inside the house."********"How is it strange - this that you call the house inside the house?"She said vaguely, her eyes growing glassy, "Strange. Shapes change, and sizes. The rooms are different: bigger and blacker and longer and the shadows are full of things. Creatures - or sometimes the rooms get smaller, fewer, and the furnishings change and change, like the scenes in a kaleidoscope, and I see the people in the portraits walking about in them."

27. "Every time we proceed to explain some conjectural law or theory by a new conjectural theory of a higher degree of universality, we are discovering more about the world, trying to penetrate deeper into its secrets. And every time we succeed in falsifying a theory of this kind, we make an important new discovery. For these falsifications are most important. They teach us the unexpected; and they reassure us that, although our theories are made by ourselves, although they are our own inventions, they are none the less genuine assertions about the world; for they can clash with something we never made."
Author: Karl Popper

"Take care of each other, you two obnoxious kids."Then, throwing her shoulders back and staring straight forward, she walked through the gate.

32. "?aranii, în orice caz cei cu oarecare stare, nu aveau niciun motiv sa se lase atra?i de ideologia comunista: doreau sa-?i rotunjeasca proprieta?ile, nicidecum sa le piarda; ?aranii saraci, pe de alta parte, erau ?i teribil de inclu?i, mul?i dintre ei analfabe?i, a?a încât prea pu?ini aveau tenta?ii ideologice, comuniste sau de orice alta natura. [...] Nici n-aveau un nivel intelectual de natura sa contracareze impactul ideologic al comunismului; „înva?atura" comunista s-a a?ezat la ei pe un teren virgin. Au fost u?or capta?i de comunism. Li s-a oferit o promovare sociala aproape instantanee la care nici n-ar fi visat. Au avut ?i satisfac?ia de a vedea cum în timp ce ei urca, al?ii, care fa?a de ei fusesera pâna atunci atât de sus, coboara sau se prabu?esc (e ?i asta o delectare care ?ine de latura mai pu?in laudabila a psihologiei umane).
