Mine Eccentric Perhaps Got Off Just Centre Belief

I would certainly say that my life, and perhaps human life in general, follows an intricate pattern of defining, declaring, struggling for, fighting for what we think of and treasure as the self. The inviolate self. This begins with our families: your parents are part of your cultural landscape, and they are also shaped by larger forces than them. Margo Jefferson

Life My Life Parents Fighting Think Our Say Defining Intricate Would Follows General Struggling Shaped Self Part Perhaps Also Forces Cultural Families Than Begins Human Pattern Them Declaring Landscape Human Life Your Certainly Larger Treasure

There are still Negro elites. Many of them are obviously much richer, and perhaps a little more integrated into what remains a white power structure.

Margo Jefferson

Old Black Power White Society Those Ancestry Structure More Segregated Remains Rituals Power Structure Obsessive Perhaps Look Schools Obviously Does Still Integrated Exist Interest Clubs Little Social Them Much Richer Many Elites

Before I took the veil, I was ornamented for the ceremony, and was clothed in a rich dress belonging to the Convent, which was used on such occasions; and placed not far from the altar in the chapel, in the view of a number of spectators who had assembled, perhaps about forty. Maria Monk

Hope You World Conspiracy Despair Chaos Our Our World Willing Brought Perhaps Look Ready Close May Reasons

I think about things like the fact that nobody knows what time is. Time is what? Nobody can describe it, even physics or math or anything else. But it is what we continuously experience. It's the state of our unfolding, in a way, and in that sense that the continuous reopening of reality is what I think of as, perhaps, a worldview. Marilynne Robinson

Time Experience Reality Physics Worldview Sense Think Else State Our Way About Fact Nobody Like Perhaps Knows Math Continuous Continuously Unfolding Anything Anything Else Describe Even Things

I did learn eventually - perhaps far too late - to respect the talent I have. For a lot of years out there, I was just bashing on to the next thing and not really thinking about it too much. That's what we do. But I'm learning to appreciate the moment. Mark Knopfler

Respect Learning Too Late Too Much Thinking Too Late Out About Talent Perhaps Learn Years Lot Did Just Far Much Really Next Next Thing Moment Eventually Thing Appreciate

It perhaps has a chance, a commercial chance, this film. It's funny, it's charming, the idea is original, it's unusual and it makes fun of the movie industry in a way that it needs to be poked fun at. Mark Rydell

Funny Needs Way Charming Poked Idea Perhaps Industry Unusual Makes Commercial Movie Movie Industry Fun Original Film Chance

I think at a certain level compared - as was pointed out earlier, compared to what is happening in Europe, the United States still gets the safe-haven money. But underlying that, the United States is not the safe haven but perhaps the most dangerous place of all. Mark Steyn

Money Dangerous Think States Dangerous Place Out Haven Pointed Perhaps Most Safe Safe Haven Underlying Still Gets Happening Place Certain Certain Level Europe Compared United United States Level Earlier

I studied law, so perhaps I might have made it to the Bar, though I gave up that idea when I suspected playing a barrister was probably much more fun than being one. Mark Strong

Law Made Gave Though More Studied Idea Perhaps Up Than Suspected Being Bar Might Much Fun Playing

As the nation watches, Democrats and Republicans should reflect the interspersed character of America itself. Perhaps, by sitting with each other for one night, we will begin to rekindle that common spark that brought us here from 50 different states and widely diverging backgrounds to serve the public good. Mark Udall

Good Character Will Nation Reflect Rekindle Other Backgrounds States One-Night Brought Perhaps Democrats Democrats And Republicans Itself Begin America Sitting Common Different Public Republicans Spark Us Public Good Should Each Serve Widely Watches Here Night

The Blair government perhaps ranks as the best the U.K. has had for 50 years. It cannot match the scale of Attlee's reforms, but has a fine record of constitutional reform and economic competence. In my own areas - science and innovation - there have been well-judged and effective changes. Martin Rees

Government Best Science Innovation Own Changes Scale Ranks Fine Record Constitutional My Own Blair Economic Area Had Perhaps Match Been Years Effective Reform Reforms Cannot Competence

Post-human intelligence will develop hypercomputers with the processing power to simulate living things - even entire worlds. Perhaps advanced beings could use hypercomputers to surpass the best 'special effects' in movies or computer games so vastly that they could simulate a world, fully, as complex as the one we perceive ourselves to be in. Martin Rees

Best Intelligence World Will Power Living Worlds Complex Ourselves Entire Perceive Vastly Could Computer Develop Advanced Simulate Perhaps Surpass Effects Processing Movies Use Games Special Special Effects Fully Beings Even Things

Buy Culture Women Past Our Trends Runway Able Hypothesis Town Perhaps She Been Same Anxious Quite Influenced In The Past Etc Products Popular Popular Culture Her

I have always been attracted to apostrophe, perhaps because of its resemblance to prayer. A voice reaches out to something beyond itself that cannot answer it. I find that moving in part because it enacts what is true of all address and communication on some level - it cannot fully be heard, understood, or answered. Mary Szybist

Prayer Communication Address Out Find Some Something Voice Part True Perhaps Beyond Attracted Because Answer Always Answered Understood Been Heard Itself Cannot Moving Resemblance Fully Level

Eternal life should be sought elsewhere, perhaps in the religious community, not politics. Matt Salmon
