If there were not so many rules to hinder them, I think that men would look at women all the time. Once there is food enough in one’s stomach, what else is there to do in life? You see it every day with women in the market or on the ...more

“I have heard about Venice’s fogs from my old man at the well, dark stories of how the mist descends as thick as doubt, so that men can no longer tell where the land ends and the water begins. The next morning, he says, you can always find one or two fellows with bad consciences floating facedown in a canal barely a hundred yards from their homes.”
Sarah Dunant, In the Company of the Courtesan

John  Pickard
“These men are despisers of riches, and so very communicative as raises our admiration. Nor is there any one to be found among them who hath more than another; for it is a law among them, that those who come to them must let what they have be common to the whole order…every one’s possessions are intermingled with every other’s possessions…”[312] These comments of Josephus have since been confirmed by the Dead Sea Scrolls”
John Pickard, Behind the Myths - the Foundations of Judaism, Christianity and Islam

“If there were not so many rules to hinder them, I think that men would look at women all the time. Once there is food enough in one’s stomach, what else is there to do in life? You see it every day with women in the market or on the streets: the way men’s eyes fix on them, like iron snapping onto a magnet, scooping their breasts out of their bodices, lifting petticoats and parting shifts, savoring thighs and bellies, burrowing into the beard that hides the moist little pleat beneath. Whatever”
Sarah Dunant, In the Company of the Courtesan

Virginia Woolf
“First a warning, musical; then the hour, irrevocable.”
Virginia Woolf, Mrs. Dalloway: The Original 1925 Unabridged and Complete Edition

Peter P. Perla
“Wells, on the other hand, while acknowledging the intellectual aspects of his game, focused on its emotional side. The wargame provides an opportunity for glory without gore and defeat without destruction. By involving the player as an active participant in the events, not merely as a passive observer, wargaming provides a unique learning experience that leads to a deeper and more personal understanding and appreciation of warfare than can be attained by any other method short of actual participation on the field of battle.”
Peter P. Perla, Peter Perla’s The Art of Wargaming: A Guide for Professionals and Hobbyists
