When a novel has 200 000 words then it is possible for the reader to experience 200 000 delights and to turn back to the first page of the book and experience them all over again perhaps more intensely.

As for the forces electromagnetism and gravity we experience in everyday life. But the weak and strong forces are beyond our ordinary experience. So in physics lots of the basic building blocks take 20th- or perhaps 21st-century equipment to explore.

But perhaps the rest of us could have separate classes in science appreciation the wonder of science scientific ways of thinking and the history of scientific ideas rather than laboratory experience.

I have found little that is 'good' about human beings on the whole. In my experience most of them are trash no matter whether they publicly subscribe to this or that ethical doctrine or to none at all. That is something that you cannot say aloud or perhaps even think.

Experience has shown and a true philosophy will always show that a vast perhaps the larger portion of the truth arises from the seemingly irrelevant.

It will appear evident upon attentive consideration that equality of intellectual and physical advantages is the only sure foundation of liberty and that such equality may best and perhaps only be obtained by a union of interests and cooperation in labor.

Equality may perhaps be a right but no power on earth can ever turn it into a fact.

Climate change is happening humans are causing it and I think this is perhaps the most serious environmental issue facing us.

Education has fundamentally changed my life. It's perhaps the mission of my life. I'm wed to it in a very powerful and personal way. And I chose the pathway that I believe could make me the most significant on changing the outcomes that we see now in North Carolina.

You need education. You need subsistence protection. We need jobs and social security. These are preconditions under which it will perhaps be possible to deal with these complex circumstances.

Today education is perhaps the most important function of state and local governments.

Perhaps all writers walk such a line. In general - as we all do in our dreams - I believe I put something of myself into all the characters in my novels male as well as female.

'Dreams From My Father' reveals more about Obama than is usually known about political leaders until after they're dead. Perhaps more than it intends it shows his mind working in real time sentence by sentence in what feels like a private audience with the reader.

My life has been a continuous fulfillment of dreams. It appears that everything I saw and did has a new and perhaps more significant meaning every time I see it. The earth is good. It is a privilege to live thereon.

Perhaps life is just that... a dream and a fear.

My parents have been incredibly supportive from perhaps the first real independent decision I made to become a vegetarian at 11 which was certainly not consistent with their diet at the time.

Perhaps one of the most important things you can do for human beings is wean them off an animal-based diet. It hardens the arteries and runs up our health-care costs. The last thing a poor person can afford is a heart attack or cancer or a stroke. And that's all linked to a meat-based diet. I think animal liberation is human liberation.

Design must seduce shape and perhaps more importantly evoke an emotional response.

Perhaps I'd like to design cars but I don't think I'd be much good at it.

I have a secret thought from some things I have observed that God may perhaps design you for some singular service in the world.

Perhaps believing in good design is like believing in God it makes you an optimist.

Perhaps we don't need these religious concoctions to pillow the fear of death. Just the fact that there is an unknown and something greater can bring a feeling of peace. That's enough for me.

If we openly declare what is wrong with us what is our deepest need then perhaps the death and despair will by degrees disappear.

Fear of death has never played a large part in my consciousness - perhaps unimaginative of me.
