More From Barbara Ehrenreich

There's this indian fellow who worked out a cycle like the idea of stone-age, bronze-age, only he did it on an indian one. the cycle goes from nothing until now and 20th century and then on and right around the cycle until the people are really grooving and then just sinks back into ignorance until it gets back into the beginning again. so the 20th century is a fraction of that cycle, and how many of those cycles has it done yet? it's done as many as you think and all these times it's been through exactly the same things, and it'll be this again.

The oxygen cycle, the nitrogen cycle, the carbon cycle, the water cycle - all of these are linked to the existence of life in the sea.

Almost all wars, perhaps all, are trade wars connected with some material interest. they are always disguised as sacred wars, made in the name of god, or civilization or progress. but all of them, or almost all of the wars, have been trade wars.
War Civilization Names
All american wars (except the civil war) have been fought with the odds overwhelmingly in favor of the americans. in the history of armed combat such affairs as the mexican and spanish-american wars must be ranked, not as wars at all, but as organized assassinations. in the two world wars, no american faced a bullet until his adversaries had been worn down by years of fighting others.

The endless cycle of idea and action, endless invention, endless experiment, brings knowledge of motion, but not of stillness; knowledge of speech, but not of silence; knowledge of words, and ignorance of the word. all our knowledge brings us nearer to our ignorance, all our ignorance brings us nearer to death, but nearness to death no nearer to god. where is the life we have lost in living? where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? where is the knowledge we have lost in information? the cycles of heaven in twenty centuries bring us farther from god and nearer to the dust.
Ignorance Dust Ideas
While men compete in war, there will be warriors. while there are warriors, there will be princes among warriors. among the princes will be kings, and among the kings an emperor.

Let it crumble! let the rocks revile me and flowers wilt at my coming. your whole universe is not enough to prove me wrong. you are the king of gods, king of stones and stars, king of the waves of the sea. but you are not the king of man.

It is commonly the personal character of a writer which gives him his public significance. it is not imparted by his genius. napoleon said of corneille, "were he living i would make him a king;" but he did not read him. he read racine, yet he said nothing of the kind of racine.
Kings Character Giving
The real searcher after truth will not receive the old because it is old, or reject the new because it is new. he will not believe men because they are dead, or contradict them because they are alive. with him an utterance is worth the truth, the reason it contains, without the slightest regard to the author. he may have been a king or serf - a philosopher or servant, - but the utterance neither gains nor loses in truth or reason. its value is absolutely independent of the fame or station of the man who gave it to the world.

... a nation has to take its natural course of progress round and round in circles from king to mob to king to mob to king until the eddy of it eddies out.
