More From Henry George

Given that the nineteenth century was the century of socialism, of liberalism, and of democracy, it does not necessarily follow that the twentieth century must also be a century of socialism, liberalism and democracy: political doctrines pass, but humanity remains, and it may rather be expected that this will be a century of authority ... a century of fascism. for if the nineteenth century was a century of individualism it may be expected that this will be the century of collectivism and hence the century of the state.

So you want another story?" uhh... no. we would like to know what really happened." doesn't the telling of something always become a story?" uhh... perhaps in english. in japanese a story would have an element of invention in it. we don't want any invention. we want the 'straight facts,' as you say in english." isn't telling about something--using words, english or japanese--already something of an invention? isn't just looking upon this world already something of an invention?

Earlier this week ... scientists announced the completion of a task that once seemed unimaginable; and that is, the deciphering of the entire dna sequence of the human genetic code. this amazing accomplishment is likely to affect the 21st century as profoundly as the invention of the computer or the splitting of the atom affected the 20th century. i believe that the 21st century will be the century of life sciences, and nothing makes that point more clearly than this momentous discovery. it will revolutionize medicine as we know it today.

The fame thing is interesting because i never wanted to be famous, and i never dreamt i would be famous....you know i didn't think they'd rake through my bins, i didn't expect to be photographed on the beach through long lens. i never dreamt it would impact my daughter's life negatively, which at times it has. it would be churlish to say there's nothing good about being famous; to have a total stranger walk up to you as you're walking around safeways, and say a number of nice things that they might say about your work.

I tensed for the spring, my eyes squinting as i cringed away, and the sound of edward's furious roar echoed distantly in the back of my head. his name burst through all the walls i'd built to contain it. edward, edward, edward. i was going to die. it shouldn't matter if i thought of him now. edward, i love you.

...and our footsteps rang and echoed till it sounded like the room was full of dancers, the house calling up all the people who had danced here across centuries of spring evenings, gallant girls seeing gallant boys off to war, old men and women straight-backed while outside their world disintegrated and the new one battered at their doors, all of them bruised and all of them laughing, welcoming us into their long lineage.
