I don't think academic writing ever was wonderful. However science used to be much less specialized.
The most wonderful discovery made by scientists is science itself.
Man has to awaken to wonder - and so perhaps do peoples. Science is a way of sending him to sleep again.
That's the whole problem with science. You've got a bunch of empiricists trying to describe things of unimaginable wonder.
This world after all our science and sciences is still a miracle wonderful inscrutable magical and more to whosoever will think of it.

Science is wonderfully equipped to answer the question 'How?' but it gets terribly confused when you ask the question 'Why?'
Anthropology demands the open-mindedness with which one must look and listen record in astonishment and wonder that which one would not have been able to guess.
I know for works for me - those wonderful sad love songs.
I would love to be married. But it's not a necessity like the way that I feel I need and want to have children. It would be wonderful to have a husband and I would feel blessed to do it. But I would feel sad for the rest of my life if I had no kids.
Sometimes I wonder if suicides aren't in fact sad guardians of the meaning of life.

I think in a lot of romantic comedies it ends with a kiss and I feel like in modern day relationships and maybe just my own experience it starts with a kiss and then all sort of falls apart and then comes together.

I would have loved to do 'Alice in Wonderland.' Being a 'Bond' girl would always be fun. We had a lot of action in 'Eclipse' and I'd definitely like to continue down the action road.

The state of New Jersey is really two places - terrible cities and wonderful suburbs. I live in the suburbs the final battleground of the American dream where people get married and have kids and try to scratch out a happy life for themselves.

The essence of romantic love is that wonderful beginning after which sadness and impossibility may become the rule.
