If one admits that the influence of the outside world is essentially beneficial, the lack of such influence during sleep would tend to diminish the value of our dream activity so as to render it inferior to the mental activity that takes place when we are awake, when we are exposed to these beneficial influences of surrounding reality. but how can one say that the influence of reality is exclusively beneficial. could it not also be damaging, and could its absence not give access to qualities superior to those that we have when awake?

The lack of opportunity is ever the excuse of a weak, vacillating mind. opportunities! every life is full of them. every newspaper article is an opportunity. every client is an opportunity. every sermon is an opportunity. every business transaction is an opportunity, an opportunity to be polite, an opportunity to be manly, an opportunity to be honest, an opportunity to make friends.

Listen, o drop, give yourself up without regret, and in exchange gain the ocean. listen, o drop, bestow upon yourself this honor, and in the arms of the sea be secure. who indeed should be so fortunate? an ocean wooing a drop! in god's name, in god's name, sell and buy at once! give a drop, and take this sea full of pearls.

We said that a single injustice, a single crime, a single illegality, particularly if it is officially recorded, confirmed, a single wrong to humanity, a single wrong to justice and to right, particularly if it is universally, legally, nationally, commodiously accepted, that a single crime shatters and is sufficient to shatter the whole social pact, the whole social contract, that a single legal crime, a single dishonorable act will bring about the loss of ones honor, the dishonor of a whole people. it is a touch of gangrene that corrupts the entire body.

When we seek a textbook case for the proper operation of science, the correction of certain error offers far more promise than the establishment of probable truth. confirmed hunches, of course, are more upbeat than discredited hypotheses. since the worst traditions of "popular" writing falsely equate instruction with sweetness and light, our promotional literature abounds with insipid tales in the heroic mode, although tough stories of disappointment and loss give deeper insight into a methodology that the celebrated philosopher karl popper once labeled as "conjecture and refutation.
Disappointment Writing Loss
When you are sixteen you do not know what your parents know, or much of what they understand, and less of what's in their hearts. this can save you from becoming an adult too early, save your life from becoming only theirs lived over again--which is a loss. but to shield yourself--as i didn't do--seems to be an even greater error, since what's lost is the truth of your parents' life and what you should think about it, and beyond that, how you should estimate the world you are about to live in.
