Noi non possiamo sperare di costruire un mondo migliore senza migliorare gli individui. Con questo scopo, ciascuno di noi deve lavorare al proprio perfezionamento, pur accettando la propria parte nella vita generale dell'Umanità; poiché il nostro dovere particolare è di aiutare quelli ai quali possiamo essere più utili
Marie Curie
In Pawtucket, Rhode Island, in 1824, came the first known strike of women factory workers; 202 women joined men in protesting a wage cut and longer hours, but they met separately. Four years later, women in Dover, New Hampshire, struck alone. And in Lowell, Massachusetts, in 1834, when a young woman was fired from her job, other girls left their looms, one of them then climbing the town pump and making, according to a newspaper report, “a flaming Mary Wollstonecraft speech on the rights of women and the iniquities of the ‘moneyed aristocracy’ which produced a powerful effect on her auditors and they determined to have their own way, if they died for it.
Howard Zinn (A People's History of the United States: 1492 to Present)
Il giovane, che non conosce il futuro, vede la vita come una sorta di avventura epica, una sorta di Odissea attraverso mari sconosciuti e isole ignote, dove metterà alla prova le proprie capacità e scoprirà la propria immortalità. L’uomo di età matura, che ha vissuto il futuro sognato un tempo, vede la vita come una tragedia. Ha imparato che il suo potere, per quanto grande, non potrà prevalere contro le forze del caso e della natura a cui dà il nome di dèi, e ha imparato che è mortale. Ma il vecchio, se recita a dovere la sua parte, deve vedere la vita come una commedia. I suoi trionfi e i suoi insuccessi si fondono, e l’uno non è motivo di orgoglio o di vergogna più dell’altro, e lui non è né l’eroe che dimostra il proprio valore contro queste forze, né il protagonista che ne rimane distrutto. Come ogni misero e pietoso guscio d’attore, finisce per rendersi contro di aver recitato tante di quelle parti da non essere più se stesso.
John Williams (Augustus)
The menu is spectacular. Passed hors d'oeuvres include caramelized shallot tartlets topped with Gorgonzola, cubes of crispy pork belly skewered with fresh fig, espresso cups of chilled corn soup topped with spicy popcorn, mini arepas filled with rare skirt steak and chimichurri and pickle onions, and prawn dumplings with a mango serrano salsa. There is a raw bar set up with three kinds of oysters, and a raclette station where we have a whole wheel of the nutty cheese being melted to order, with baby potatoes, chunks of garlic sausage, spears of fresh fennel, lightly pickled Brussels sprouts, and hunks of sourdough bread to pour it over. When we head up for dinner, we will start with a classic Dover sole amandine with a featherlight spinach flan, followed by a choice of seared veal chops or duck breast, both served with creamy polenta, roasted mushrooms, and lacinato kale. Next is a light salad of butter lettuce with a sharp lemon Dijon vinaigrette, then a cheese course with each table receiving a platter of five cheeses with dried fruits and nuts and three kinds of bread, followed by the panna cottas. Then the cake, and coffee and sweets. And at midnight, chorizo tamales served with scrambled eggs, waffle sticks with chicken fingers and spicy maple butter, candied bacon strips, sausage biscuit sandwiches, and vanilla Greek yogurt parfaits with granola and berries on the "breakfast" buffet, plus cheeseburger sliders, mini Chicago hot dogs, little Chinese take-out containers of pork fried rice and spicy sesame noodles, a macaroni-and-cheese bar, and little stuffed pizzas on the "snack food" buffet. There will also be tiny four-ounce milk bottles filled with either vanilla malted milk shakes, root beer floats made with hard root beer, Bloody Marys, or mimosas.
Stacey Ballis (Wedding Girl)
In this restricted sense continuity may be said to bring a notion of infinity in its wake – the notion of potential infinity which is associated with the idea of a never-ending process, or an operation which is indefinitely repeatable, such as that of adding one to a whole number. But in such cases there is no infinite collection of actual parts of space or time and no actual completed infinite totality of numbers.
