Quote by E. M. Forster

Railway termini are our gates to the glorious and the unknown. Through them we pass out into adventure and sunshine, to them, alas! we return.

Railway termini are our gates to the glorious and the unknow

Summary

This quote highlights the bittersweet nature of railway termini, which represent both a gateway to exciting journeys and a reminder of eventual returns. It suggests that these stations symbolize opportunities for adventure and new experiences, as travelers venture out into the glorious and unknown world beyond. However, it also acknowledges the sad reality that these journeys must eventually come to an end, and individuals will find themselves back at the same termini they began from, longing for the sunshine and excitement of travel once again.

There is no easy formula for determining right and wrong livelihood, but it is essential to keep the question alive. To return the sense of dignity and honor to manhood, we have to stop pretending that we can make a living at something that is trivial or destructive and still have sense of legitimate self-worth. A society in which vocation and job are separated for most people gradually creates an economy that is often devoid of spirit, one that frequently fills our pocketbooks at the cost of emptying our souls.

Ese mismo aÃ±o, un grupo de astrÃ³nomos encabezado por Cornell H. Mayer recibiÃ³ ondas deradio procedentes de Venus y quedÃ³ atÃ³nito al ver que la intensidad de esas ondas equivalÃa a la quecabÃa esperar de un objeto mucho mÃ¡s caliente de lo que se creÃa que era Venus. De ser eso cierto, nopodrÃa haber ocÃ©ano planetario en Venus; de hecho, no podÃa haber agua lÃquida de ninguna clase (y asÃse echÃ³ a perder mi pobre novela, que sÃ³lo hacÃa dos aÃ±os que habÃa sido publicada).

I love my parents. But I'm almost 28 and it's not fun to be asked, 'What are you doing today? What do you want for dinner? When are you going to be home?' It just makes you feel like a kid. It's this juxtaposition of feeling annoyed and really lucky to have people who love you so much.
