A novel is a mirror carried along a main road.

Summary

This quote suggests that a novel is a reflection of the world. It acts like a mirror, providing insight and reflection of the realities and experiences found along life's main road. Just as a mirror allows one to see their own image and reflect on it, a novel allows readers to observe and contemplate different aspects of society and human nature. It implies that through literature, individuals can better understand and explore the human condition.

I believe life is constantly testing us for our level of commitment, and life's greatest rewards are reserved for those who demonstrate a never-ending commitment to act until they achieve. This level of resolve can move mountains, but it must be constant and consistent. As simplistic as this may sound, it is still the common denominator separating those who live their dreams from those who live in regret.

Neither the doctrine of separation of powers, nor the need f

Neither the doctrine of separation of powers, nor the need for confidentiality of high level communications, without more, can sustain an absolute, unqualified presidential privilege of immunity from judicial process under all circumstances. The President's need for complete candor and objectivity from advisers calls for great deference from the courts. However, when the privilege depends solely on the broad, undifferentiated claim of public interest in the confidentiality of such conversations, a confrontation with other values arises. Absent a claim of need to protect military, diplomatic or sensitive national security secrets, we find it difficult to accept the argument that even the very important interest in confidentiality of Presidential communications is significantly diminished by production of such material for in camera inspection with all the protection that a district court will be obliged to provide.
