Quote by Sherwood Boehlert

The U.S. uses most of its oil for transportation. We can limit U.S. demand for oil by requiring automakers to use the technology that already exists to improve fuel economy - technology that the automakers refuse to bring into the market despite societal demand.

Summary

This quote suggests that a significant portion of oil consumption in the U.S. is attributed to transportation needs. To address this, the quote suggests implementing a requirement for automakers to utilize existing fuel economy technologies, which they are allegedly reluctant to introduce despite popular demand. By mandating the use of such technologies, it is argued that the U.S. can effectively curb its reliance on oil and reduce the overall demand for it in the nation.

Jupiter, not wanting man's life to be wholly gloomy and grim

Jupiter, not wanting man's life to be wholly gloomy and grim, has bestowed far more passion than reason --you could reckon the ration as twenty-four to one. Moreover, he confined reason to a cramped corner of the head and left all the rest of the body to the passions.

What people had had shed and left--a pair of shoes, a shooting cap, some faded skirts and coats in wardrobes--those alone kept the human shape and in the emptiness indicated how once they were filled and animated; how once hands were busy with hooks and buttons; how once the looking-glass had held a face; had held a world hollowed out in which a figure turned, a hand flashed, the door opened, in came children rushing and tumbling; and went out again. Now, day after day, light turned, like a flower reflected in water, its sharp image on the wall opposite. Only the shadows of the trees, flourishing in the wind, made obeisance on the wall, and for a moment darkened the pool in which light reflected itself; or birds, flying, made a soft spot flutter slowly across the bedroom floor.
