Building spare capacity requires an investment of billions of dollars to create infrastructure that may sit idle most of the time. Nobody will invest on those terms,

We thank those Senators, both Republican and Democrat, who stood firm against tremendous pressure from the Bush administration, pro-drilling members of Congress and their allies in the oil industry.

C. S. Lewis

Now God designed the human machine to run on Himself. He Himself is the fuel our spirits were designed to burn, or the food our spirits were designed to feed on. There is no other.

C. S. Lewis

In reality, moral rules are directions for running the human machine. Every moral rule is there to prevent a breakdown, or a strain, or a friction, in the running of that machine. That is why these rules at first seem to be constantly interfering with our natural inclinations.

C. S. Lewis

Look for yourself, and you will find in the long run only hatred, loneliness, despair, rage, ruin, and decay. But look for Christ and you will find Him, and with Him everything else thrown in.

Liz Williams

Because contemporary paganism is essentially so new, its underlying ethical structure is not particularly sophisticated.

Todd Williams

It's something within his joint, most probably the cartilage, and it could be something underlying from the old injury.

Edward Miller

They want to use it, but it can't be put out there. It's going to be an underlying part of the campaign.

Mark Bradford

Everything I do has an underlying political question.

John Bradshaw

In a sense, all of my books have been about a 'poisonous pedagogy,' which engenders a culture of obedience, this underlying theme of patriarchal systems.

Charles Dickens

"It's nothing," returned Mrs Chick. "It's merely change of weather. We must expect change."
