More From George Eliot

There are photographers who push for war because they make stories. they search for a chinese who has a more chinese are than the others and they end up finding one. they have him take a typically chinese pose and surround him with chinoiseries. what have they captured on their film? a chinese? definitely not: the idea of the chinese.

From woman, man is born; within woman, man is conceived; to woman he is engaged and married. woman becomes his friend; through woman, the future generations come. when his woman dies, he seeks another woman; to woman he is bound. so why call her bad? from her, kings are born. from woman, woman is born; without woman, there would be no one at all.
Kings Men Generations
We are born of woman, we are conceived in the womb of woman, we are engaged and married to woman. we make friendship with woman and the lineage continued because of woman. when one woman dies, we take another one, we are bound with the world through woman. why should we talk ill of her, who gives birth to kings? the woman is born from woman; there is none without her. only the one true lord is without woman

We first became conscious of the plane publicly on a monday. i thought then by the weekend it would be done. but then the chinese military, the defense minister made a statement saying that if there was no apology from the united states, the chinese military and the chinese people would never understand. no reference to the government or the communist party, and that obviously presented an internal problem to the chinese leadership, which was travelling at that moment.

All of us--all who knew her--felt so wholesome after we cleaned ourselves on her. we were so beautiful when we stood astride her ugliness. her simplicity decorated us, her guilt sanctified us, her pain made us glow with health, her awkwardness made us think we had a sense of humor. her inarticulateness made us believe we were eloquent. her poverty kept us generous. even her waking dreams we used--to silence our own nightmares.

One of the beautiful things about baseball is that every once in a while you come into a situation where you want to, and where you have to, reach down and prove something.

A woman isn't all that different from a bonfire. a fire's a beautiful thing, right? something you can't take your eyes off, when it's burning. if you can keep it contained, it'll throw light and heat for you. it's only when it gets out of control that you have to go on the offensive.

Karl rove described obama as "the guy at the country club with the beautiful date, holding a martini, and making snide comments about everyone who passes by." unlike george bush, who's the guy at the country club who makes snide comments, and then passes out. now this characterization, of course, was something mr. rove just completely pulled out of his bulbous, gelatinous a$$, but remember this is america, a land where people believe anything they hear.
