More From Philip Massinger

No matter how many instances of white swans we may have observed, this does not justify the conclusion that all swans are white.
Swans White Doe
No number of sightings of white swans can prove the theory that all swans are white. the sighting of just one black one may disprove it.
Swans White Numbers
And over the pond are sailing two swans all white as snow; sweet voices mysteriously wailing pierce through me as onward they go. they sail along, and a ringing sweet melody rises on high; and when the swans begin singing, they presently must die.
Sweet Swans Two
No amount of observations of white swans can allow the inference that all swans are white, but the observation of a single black swan is sufficient to refute that conclusion.
Swans White Black
If you wish to upset the law that all crows are black, you mustn't seek to show that no crows are; it is enough if you prove one single crow to be white.
Law White Upset
The crows maintain that a single crow could destroy the heavens. there is no doubt of that, but it proves nothing against the heavens, for heaven simply means: the impossibility of crows.

Mean Police States
I often reflect on what an extraordinary time (pun intended) it is to be alive here in the beginning of the twenty-first century. it took life billions of years to get to this point. it took humans thousands of years to piece together a meaningful understanding of our cosmos, our planet and ourselves. think how fortunate we are to know this much. but think also of all that's yet to be discovered. here's hoping the deep answers to the deep questions-from the nature of consciousness to the origin of life-will be found in not too much more time.
Meaningful Thinking Years
There are some teams and logos you see, no matter where you are in the world, and you know exactly who they are and what they mean.
Team Mean World
Free speech means the right to shout 'theatre' in a crowded fire.
Freedom Mean Technology
