Much of the DOE green energy lending program is a scam. It is a slush fund of pork for paying back campaign contributors.
Day-thoughts feed nightly dreams; And sorrow tracketh wrong, As echo follows song.
Readers are plentiful; thinkers are rare.
Women, like men, must be educated with a view to action, or their studies cannot be called education.
It is hard to tell which is worse; the wide diffusion of things that are not true, or the suppression of things that are true.
All women should inform themselves of the condition of their sex and of their own position. It must necessarily follow that the noblest of them will, sooner or later, put forth a moral power which shall prostrate cant, and burst asunder the bonds (silken to some but cold iron to others) of feudal prejudice and usages.

If a test of civilization be sought, none can be so sure as the condition of that half of society over which the other half has power.
Finding the form was really a very dynamic process. I went through a lot of shifting, trying to get it right. Because the writing took place over such a long time, it's hard for me to pinpoint when specific things happened, but basically the final version only materialized in the last two or so years. It was there, but it took me a while to see it and then to refine it after I'd seen it.
At a finite distance in the future, a critical state of encounter will occur, an ultimate co-reflective Center. A focused conspiration will allure individual persons to identify with others in profound affinity. Because of thinking altogether, love will grow into Divinity.
