There is no instance of a nation benefitting from prolonged warfare.

A petty reason perhaps why novelists more and more try to keep a distance from journalists is that novelists are trying to write the truth and journalists are trying to write fiction.

A fact never went into partnership with a miracle. Truth scorns the assistance of wonders. A fact will fit every other fact in the universe and that is how you can tell whether it is or is not a fact. A lie will not fit anything except another lie.

Morality is the basis of things and truth is the substance of all morality.

More and more political analysts and weak-kneed politicians are advising the historically pro-life Republican Party to abandon its pro-life stance for political gain. My first response is that if you cannot trust a party on the value of defending human life how can you trust it on issues like marginal tax rates?

You know it's only 50 miles from Grand River to Canton but it took me 67 years to travel that distance.

There are days when I intentionally don't write. For instance I never write when I'm traveling because travel is a situation where I can learn more by looking and listening than by working.

The simple fact is this: they are foreigners inside a country which has rejected them. Therefore these foreigners wherever they go or travel they will be rained down with bullets from everyone. Attacks by members of the resistance will only go up.

The last couple relationships I had were long distance. It's not like I can make much of an effort to travel and see anybody. The guy had to do all the work unfortunately.

If you travel to the States... they have a lot of different words than like what we use. For instance: they say 'elevator' we say 'lift' they say 'drapes' we say 'curtains' they say 'president' we say 'seriously deranged git.'

Traveling you realize that differences are lost: each city takes to resembling all cities places exchange their form order distances a shapeless dust cloud invades the continents.

A thing is mighty big when time and distance cannot shrink it.

Time is the substance from which I am made. Time is a river which carries me along but I am the river it is a tiger that devours me but I am the tiger it is a fire that consumes me but I am the fire.

For time is the longest distance between two places.

Really big people are above everything else courteous considerate and generous - not just to some people in some circumstances - but to everyone all the time.

Time is the longest distance between two places.

All the technology of our production was still pre-War. They were sort of '38 '39 and the War had been stable and so we were infinitely behind whatever had been going on in the United States for instance.

Who knows what technology will emerge in the next five years let alone 20. Yet the education we provide our children now is supposed to last for decades. We cannot train them for jobs that do not even exist yet but we can provide them with the minds and tools they'll need to adapt to our ever-changing set of circumstances.

Libraries function as crucial technology hubs not merely for free Web access but those who need computer training and assistance. Library business centers help support entrepreneurship and retraining.

Technology has saved us money in some circumstances but it has really afforded us the ability to cover stories from locations we might not have been able to in the past.

There has been a huge advance in technology which has improved the safety of the cars incredibly but there are still some heavy crash impacts and in certain circumstances there is still the chance of fire today.

Technology gives us the facilities that lessen the barriers of time and distance - the telegraph and cable the telephone radio and the rest.

Telephone n. An invention of the devil which abrogates some of the advantages of making a disagreeable person keep his distance.

The second and I think this is the much more overt and I think it is the main cause I have been increasingly demonstrating or trying to demonstrate that every possible stance a critic a scholar a teacher can take towards a poem is itself inevitably and necessarily poetic.
