QuoteI believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance. The poet's, the writer's, duty is to write about these things...The poet's voice need not merely be the record of man, it can be one of the props, the pillars to help him endure and prevail.

QuoteIN 1991 Graur et al. raised the question of whether the guinea-pig, Cavia porcellus, is a rodent1. They suggested that the guinea-pig and myomorph rodents diverged before the separation between myomorph rodents and a lineage leading to primates and artiodactyls. Several findings have since been reported, both for and against this phylogeny, thereby highlighting the issue of the validity of molecular analysis in mammalian phylogeny. Here we present findings based on the sequence of the complete mitochondrial genome of the guinea-pig, which strongly contradict rodent monophyly.

QuoteMost people do not realize that Italian-Americans were the victims of lynch mobs. The largest mass lynching of Italian-Americans occurred in New Orleans on March 14, 1891.
Following the murder of Police Chief Hennessy on the evening of October 15, 1890, Italians and Italian-Americans were rounded up by the hundreds. Some of these men were held at the old Parish Prison for trial. The closely watched trial of a number of these men resulted in several acquittals and a mistrial. A large crowd of New Orleans citizens, unhappy with the result, marched to and broke into the parish prison. They murdered both the men on trial and those yet to be tried, eleven in all. The police did nothing to stop them.

QuoteRomantic love is properly defined as an experience of transcendence and is elaborated in cultural configurations of three basic types. The first is in hierarchical and internally competitive societies where marriage is a political matter and romantic relations are always adulterous and often non-sexual; the second is in individualistic, fragmented and fluid societies where love and marriage go together; the third is in highly structured disharmonic societies where romantic ties between youth are severed by arranged marriages.

Quote"Why does it even matter how many guys I slept with before, anyway?"

QuoteMarriage requires loyalty and commitment to take precedence over sexual fulfilment, while Sexuality wants it to be the other way around. These two perspectives are clearly illustrated in BTB and RAAC stories. In both subcategories, you typically have a wife character who wants to enjoy the benefits of marriage and have the freedom to 'experience her true sexuality' with other men. The difference is in what happens. In a BTB story, the husband character will thwart that goal or take revenge for the transgression. In an RAAC story, the wife may pay some sort of price, but she will ultimately have her 'sexual experience' and get to keep her husband.

Quote"The pain caused by having spouse cheat is as great as having a spouse die," Todd paused and looked out the window. When he looked back, his face showed no emotion. "When a man or a woman cheats, their spouses suffer greatly. However, I believe that a man suffers more. In both cases, trust is shattered. This is way more important to a man than it is to a woman."
