Stand still.

The fog wraps you up

and no one can find you.


Walk.

The fog opens up

to let you through

and closes behind you.

A model is a geometric scale reproduction of the real thing. It may be either larger or smaller. A model provides a valuable picture of the geometrical relations, not always obvious, which underlie nearly every field problem. It also provides a framework in which to measure whatever other physical properties may be of interest.

- L. V. Bewley



In seeking a representation for the potential due to the charges which from a ponderable body, it would be naturally suggested by the foregoing treatment to consider all the charges as forming a simple complex, and to represent the potential due to this complex either by the concentration of the spreading method.

- Max Mason and Warren Weaver



I think, however, that this much can be said with certainty: no one with a weak heart should seek practical acquaintance with the phenomena of separation; and very excitable, nervous people would do well to leave the subject alone.

- Oliver Fox



There are people who simply set aside a time each day at which to cast the Runes. Others prefer a more formal approach: lighting a candle, perhaps a stick of incense, taking time to compose themselves.

- Ralph H. Blum



Most authorities agree, however, that dreams which include sensations of travel, such as flying (without an airplane), running, walking, riding an elevator and falling are projection dreams.

- Robert E. Moser



Novel and interesting entertainments are always in demand. If you have an understanding of the Magic of Black Art you may successfully entertain others with the novelty of your performance.

“We cannot see the air, it is true; but then we can see its effects, and so we can experiment upon it.”

- Jacob Abbott



It should be noted (1) that the tree of sacrifice is living wood, with leaves thereon; (2) that the face expresses deep entrancement, not suffering; (3) that the figure, as a whole, suggests life in suspension, but life and not death.

- Arthur Edward Waite




There are to be sure chancy situations where relevant orders of humanly directed determination are involved by virtue of skill, knowledge, daring, perseverance, and so forth. This, in fact, marks a crucial difference between games of “pure” chance and what are called contests: in the former, once the determination is in play, the participants can do nothing but passively wait for the outcome; in the latter, it is just this period that requires intensive and sustained exercising of relevant capacities.

- Erving Goffman




We can find metaphysicians thinking, but we cannot find metaphysicians in their thinking. When we separate the metaphysics from the thinker we have an abstraction, the deathless shadow of a once living act. It is no longer what someone is saying but what someone said. When metaphysics is most successful on its own terms, it leaves its listeners in silence, certainly not in laughter.

- James P. Carse




Now it could be objected here that a coded message, unlike an uncoded message, does not

express anything on its own—it requires knowledge of the code. But in reality there is no

such thing as an uncoded message. There are only messages written in more familiar

codes, and messages written in less familiar codes. If the meaning of a message is to be

revealed it must be pulled out of the code by some sort of mechanism, or isomorphism. It

may be difficult to discover the method by which the decoding should be done; but once

that method has been discovered, the message becomes transparent as water. When a

code is familiar enough, it ceases appearing like a code; one forgets that there is a

decoding mechanism. The message is identified with its meaning.

- Douglas R. Hofstadter




Who’s that great vandal of a child you carry?

How will you get him home through this rocky pass?

Already beneath his weight your arm is sagging

You kneel and settle him down in the grass


Above you the waterfall pounces down the hillside

In a furious zigzag to threaten his heavy head

Rivers like arrows menace from all directions

What madness made you bring him this way to bed?


Through the bridge you intended to cross huge trees have broken

And grass that is sharper than knives grows thick as a pall

In my opinion you'll never never be home by twilight

There’s not much chance you’ll ever be home at all.


- Joan Aiken
