But popular opinion, combined with action, if directed intelligently towards the setting apart of some one section of the noble redwood forests… will, I believe, save for our present delight and for that of the generations who come after us, at least one grand forest of the Sequoia sempervirens such as the world cannot show elsewhere, such as a thousand years cannot reproduce.” ~ Frank Howard Clark
- “One summer day, while I was walking along the country road on the farm where I was born, a section of the stone wall opposite me, and not more than three or four yards distant, suddenly fell down. Amid the general stillness and immobility about me the effect was quite startling. … It was the sudden summing up of half a century or more of atomic changes in the material of the wall. A grain or two of sand yielded to the pressure of long years, and gravity did the rest.” ~ John Burroughs

Just like Hitler, “lives unfit to live.”” ~ Lyndon LaRouche

And no one bothers to teach the rules anymore – “i before e except after c.”” ~ Marva Collins

- “I grew up Southern Baptist, so my experience was fairly conservative. Not archly so, but I think Memphis – when you get to certain parts of Memphis – are more liberal for sure.

- “… my century.. is unique in the history of men for two reasons.

- “In order to be a leader a man must have followers. And to have followers, a man must have their confidence. Hence, the supreme quality for a leader is unquestionably integrity. Without it, no real success is possible, no matter whether it is on a section gang, a football field, in an army, or in an office. If a man’s associates find him guilty of being phony, if they find that he lacks forthright integrity, he will fail. His teachings and actions must square with each other. The first great need, therefore, is integrity and high purpose.” ~ Dwight D. Eisenhower

- “Marx is thought of as an implacable foe of capitalism. But go back and read the first section of the Communist Manifesto.

Wood

- “Most Muggles lived in a world defined by the limits of what you could do with cars and telephones. Even though Muggle physics explicitly permitted possibilities like molecular nanotechnology or the Penrose process for extracting energy from black holes, most people filed that away in the same section of their brain that stored fairy tales and history books, well away from their personal realities: Long ago and far away, ever so long ago.” ~ Eliezer Yudkowsky
- “The Ancient One, as you know, is the master, is the Sorcerer Supreme, and [Doctor] Strange comes to learn how to heal himself and The Ancient One has got the knowledge.

So it’s all about that, it’s all about trying to push him to get there.” ~ Tilda Swinton

I fit into a handful of sections in the bookstore.” ~ Nico Tortorella

Unfortunately, I accidentally pressed Send All. I then had to send another e-mail saying, “I’m really sorry but I haven’t actually had the baby yet.” Then, when I actually did have the baby, I felt too embarrassed to send another e-mail saying, “I’ve definitely had the baby now.”” ~ Helen Fielding

So it’s not a good thing, it’s a distraction so I think we should just ignore it because there’s nothing there so get on with the business of last week of the election.” ~ William Weld

- “Now, [hip-hop/grime artists] Stormzy, Skepta, or the Section Boyz have to be validated by Drake, Rihanna or Beyoncé. They’re rolled into this one urban culture bubble; it’s not really to do with, “I’m specifically f – ked off about my country and what’s going on in my town.” We’re very much only showing success to artists who impress American artists, and I’m one of them.” ~ M.I.A.

The idea section. Sharon has some good ideas. Great cover and helpful contents!!!” ~ Brenda Poinsett

A grain or two of sand yielded to the pressure of long years, and gravity did the rest.” ~ John Burroughs
- “But the point is, now, at this moment, or any moment, we’re only cross-sections of our real selves. What we really are is the whole stretch of ourselves, all our time, and when we come to the end of this life, all those selves, all our time, will be us – the real you, the real me. And then perhaps we’ll find ourselves in another time, which is only another kind of dream.” ~ J. B. Priestley

didn’t have a map section.
How was I supposed to know
that Berkeley was not
a neighborhood of San Francisco?” ~ Bucky Sinister - “At Carnegie Hall the Preservation Hall Jazz Band showed how easily it could hop from era to era. It could work like a rhythm-and-blues horn section or a tightly arranged little big band if need be, but it could also switch back into the polyphonic glories of vintage New Orleans jazz, in which nearly every instrument seems to improvise around the tune at the same time.” ~ Jon Pareles
-
“Vicke is so fat that she wakes up in sections.” ~ John Cena
- “What would the world be like if you had to develop a power yourself before you could use it? Just as a silly example: How would the comment section on YouTube change if, to use it, you had to have the schooling necessary to have a basic understanding of how computers and the internet work? More seriously, would anyone smart enough to know how to design and build a tank, or a laser guided anti-aircraft missile, or a computer and video editing software be stupid enough to join ISIS? In fact, if such knowledge was required—would it even be possible for there to be standing armies?” ~ John C. Wright
- “Poetry restores language by breaking it, and I think that much contemporary writing restores fantasy, as a genre of writing in contrast to a genre of commodity or a section in a bookstore, by breaking it. Michael Moorcock revived fantasy by prying it loose from morality; writers like Jeff VanderMeer, Stepan Chapman, Lucius Shepard, Jeffrey Ford, Nathan Ballingrud are doing the same by prying fantasy away from pedestrian writing, with more vibrant and daring styles, more reflective thinking, and a more widely broadcast spectrum of themes.” ~ Michael Cisco
- “In all of America, there is no more promising an urban area for revitalization than your own Over-the-Rhine. When I look at that remarkably untouched, expansive section of architecturally uniform structures, unmarred by clashing modern structures, I see in my mind the possibility for a revived district that literally could rival similar prosperous and heavily visited areas.” ~ Arthur Frommer
-

- “Many sections are taken up with political discussions and how the way of the ruler, the merchant, the householder, and the army interact with the Tao.” ~ Frederick Lenz
- “An ordinary mirror is silvered at the back but the window of the night train has darkness behind the glass. My face and the faces of other travellers were now mirrored on this darkness in a succession of stillnesses. Consider this, said the darkness: any motion at any speed is a succession of stillnesses; any section through an action will show just such a plane of stillness as this dark window in which your seeking face is mirrored. And in each plane of stillness is the moment of clarity that makes you responsible for what you do.” ~ Russell Hoban
-
“I plan my life in 15-minute sections.” ~ Dave Pelzer
- “Beyond the immediate risks to her health and the health of her baby, when a woman chooses c-section, she decreases the chance that she will be able to get pregnant again and increases the chance that if she does get pregnant, the pregnancy will occur outside the uterus, a situation that never results in a live baby and is life-threatening to the woman. Furthermore, the risk of having an unexplained stillbirth doubles when a woman has had a previous c-section.” ~ Marsden Wagner
- “Raw pain alarms. us. It reminds us that life isn’t as orderly as we’d hoped. We demand that pain settle down before we shuffle it off to the quiet table. We want pain to stay in its own little section, want to keep it from spilling over into the other parts of life. Just like . lunch trays. Keep pain in its own little compartment.” ~ Philip Gulley
