More From George R. R. Martin

Ecclesiastes names thee almighty, the maccabees name thee creator, the epistle to the ephesians names thee liberty, baruch names thee immensity, the psalms name thee wisdom and truth, john names thee light, the book of kings names thee lord, exodus names thee providence, leviticus sanctity, esdras justice, creation names thee god, man names thee father; but solomon names thee compassion, which is the most beautiful of all thy names.

With a decrease in the number of pirates, there has been an increase in global warming over the same period. therefore, global warming is caused by a lack of pirates. even more compelling: somalia has the highest number of pirates and the lowest carbon emissions of any country. coincidence?
Country Numbers Carbon Emissions
We are entering a hyperconnected world where every boss now has more access, cheap access to cheap labor, cheap genius, cheap robot, cheap software, and then this world averages over. there is only one answer to that, and that is to get everyone as close as possible to some form of post-secondary education, it could be vocational, it can be liberal arts, it can be science and technology.

I do not prize the word cheap. it is not a word of inspiration. it is the badge of poverty, the signal of distress. cheap merchandise means cheap men and cheap men mean a cheap country.

Yes, we could talk to you for days on end about all the bad first dates. those are stories. funny stories. awkward stories. stories we love to share, because by sharing them, we get something out of the hour or two we wasted on the wrong person. but that's all bad first dates are: short stories. good first dates are more than short stories. they are first chapters. on a good first date, everything is springtime. and when a good first date becomes a relationship, the springtime lingers. even after it's over, there can be springtime.
Two Awkward Stories
I cannot always sympathize with that demand which we hear so frequently for cheap things. things may be too cheap. they are too cheap when the man or woman who produces them upon the farm or the man or woman who produces them in the factory does not get out of them living wages with a margin for old age and for a dowry for the incidents that are to follow. i pity the man who wants a coat so cheap that the man or woman who produces the cloth or shapes it into a garment will starve in the process.

There is a certain race of men that either imagine it their duty, or make it their amusement, to hinder the reception of every work of learning or genius, who stand as sentinels in the avenues of fame, and value themselves upon giving ignorance and envy the first notice of a prey.

An open mind, in questions that are not ultimate, is useful. but an open mind about the ultimate foundations either of theoretical or of practical reason is idiocy. if a man's mind is open on these things, let his mouth at least be shut. he can say nothing to the purpose. outside the tao there is no ground for criticizing either the tao or anything else.
Men Mind Foundation
I have seen too much not to know that the impression of a woman may be more valuable than the conclusion of an analytical reasoner.
Women May Too Much
Whenever the offence inspires less horror than the punishment, the rigour of penal law is obliged to give way to the common feelings of mankind.
