Suppose that you could mark the molecules in a glass of water; then pour the contents of the glass into the ocean and stir the latter throughly so as to distribute the marked molecules uniformly throughout the seven seas; if then you took a glass of water anywhere out of the ocean, you would find in it about a hundred of your marked molecules.

Why are atoms so small? ... many examples have been devised to bring this fact home to an audience, none of them more impressive than the one used by lord kelvin: suppose that you could mark the molecules in a glass of water, then pour the contents of the glass into the ocean and stir the latter thoroughly so as to distribute the marked molecules uniformly throughout the seven seas; if you then took a glass of water anywhere out of the ocean, you would find in it about a hundred of your marked molecules.

The signs of the antichrist spirit are clear. they emerge in this fashion: a significant minority then an actual majority, of the people in a society begin to throw off the restraints of history, then the restraints of written law, then accepted standards of morality, then established religion, and, finally god himself.

Imagine an american hans christian andersen, conceive of the brothers grimm living in missouri, and you will approximate howard schwartz, a fable-maker and fable-gatherer seduced by the uncanny and the unearthly. in lilith's cave, he once again reaches into a magical cornucopia of folklore and fantasy and spreads before us, in enchanting language, the marvels and shocks of dybbuks, ghosts, demons, spirits, and wizards.

The christian religion teaches me two points-that there is a god whom men can know, and that their nature is so corrupt that they are unworthy of him.
