Both the man of science and the man of action live always at

Summary

This quote suggests that both scientists and individuals driven by action are constantly confronted by and immersed in the unknown and unexplored aspects of life. Regardless of their fields, both scientific inquiry and taking initiative involve being on the threshold of the mysterious. Scientists continually strive to understand the uncharted territories that lie within the realms of knowledge, while people of action consistently encounter unfamiliar challenges and uncertainty. Whether searching for answers or tackling new experiences, both scientists and individuals driven by action find themselves constantly surrounded by the enigmatic nature of the world.

Highly important in poetry is Rhythm, but the word means mer

Highly important in poetry is Rhythm, but the word means merely 'flow,' so that rhythm belongs to prose as well as to poetry. Good rhythm is merely a pleasing succession of sounds. Meter, the distinguishing formal mark of poetry and all verse, is merely rhythm which is regular in certainfundamental respects, roughly speaking is rhythm in which the recurrence of stressed syllables or of feet with definite time-values is regular. There is no proper connection either in spelling or in meaning between rhythm and rime (which is generally misspelled 'rhyme'). The adjective derived from'rhythm' is 'rhythmical'; there is no adjective from 'rime' except 'rimed.' The word 'verse' in its general sense includes all writing in meter. Poetry is that verse which has real literary merit.

The pace of science forces the pace of technique. Theoretica

The pace of science forces the pace of technique. Theoretical physics forces atomic energy on us; the successful production of the fission bomb forces upon us the manufacture of the hydrogen bomb. We do not choose our problems, we do not choose our products; we are pushed, we are forced -- by what? By a system which has no purpose and goal transcending it, and which makes man its appendix.

My dad was a Marine. He was one of the Montford Point Marines. Those are the equivalent of the Tuskegee Airmen for Marines. He's a tough, tough guy. When I was 15 we had a fight, and I didn't speak to him for 10 years.

To note an artist's limitations is but to define his talent.

To note an artist's limitations is but to define his talent. A reporter can write equally well about everything that is presented to his view, but a creative writer can do his best only with what lies within the range and character of his deepest sympathies.

You only have power over people so long as you don't take everything away from them. But when you've robbed a man of everything, he's no longer in your power - he's free again.
