More From Harriet Martineau

This new england we have invented for ourselves is not interested at all in education. it is only interested in training, both material and spiritual. education means freedom, it means ideas, it means truth. training is what you do to a pear tree when you pleach it and prune it to grow against a wall. training is what you give an airline pilot or a computer operator or a barrister or a radio producer. education is what you give children to enable them to be free from the prejudices and moral bankruptcies of their elders.

In ancient times, people weren't just male or female, but one of three types: male/male, male/female, female/female. in other words, each person was made out of the components of two people. everyone was happy with this arrangement and never really gave it much a thought. but then god took a knife and cut everybody in half, right down the middle. so after that the world was divided just into male and female, the upshot being that people spend their time running around trying to locate their missing other half.

Notable enough, however, are the controversies over the series 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 - ... whose sum was given by leibniz as 1/2, although others disagree. ... understanding of this question is to be sought in the word "sum"; this idea, if thus conceived - namely, the sum of a series is said to be that quantity to which it is brought closer as more terms of the series are taken - has relevance only for convergent series, and we should in general give up the idea of sum for divergent series.

I like the stars. it's the illusion of permanence, i think. i mean, they're always flaring up and caving in and going out. but from here, i can pretend...i can pretend that things last. i can pretend that lives last longer than moments. gods come, and gods go. mortals flicker and flash and fade. worlds don't last; and stars and galaxies are transient, fleeting things that twinkle like fireflies and vanish into cold and dust. but i can pretend.
