"She on skis is part of these:
The wind in the pines
The bird on wing
The swirl of snow
The moving cloud
The curve of hill
The shout of space
The pulse of earth
And vibrant sky . . ."

-- M. Lorrine Finley

"There were two 'Reigns of Terror,' if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the 'horrors' of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetary could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so dilligently taught to shiver and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by thay older and real Terror -- that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves."

-- Mark Twain.

" . . . It is important for the public not to expect too much of sociology as the science of society, since, like all sciences, it was necessarily be limited in its capacity to understand or to explain al things, or to alter the course of human development. The public does not depreciate biological sciences because they cannot explain and cure all diseases, or psychology because it cannot explain all the intricacies of love or the vagaries of human behavior; or chemistry because it cannot explain all matter. No more should the public expect sociology to do the impossible."

-- Howard W. Odum
