“I found the Palace of Green Porcelain, when we approached it about noon, deserted and falling into ruin. Only ragged vestiges of glass remained in its windows, and great sheets of the green facing had fallen away from the corroded metallic framework. It lay very high

“Now, indeed, I seemed in a worse case than before. Hitherto, except during my night’s anguish at the loss of the Time Machine, I had felt a sustaining hope of ultimate escape, but that hope was staggered by these new discoveries. Hitherto I had merely thought myself

“I told some of you last Thursday of the principles of the Time Machine, and showed you the actual thing itself, incomplete in the workshop. There it is now, a little travel-worn, truly; and one of the ivory bars is cracked, and a brass rail bent; but the rest of it’s

I think that at that time none of us quite believed in the Time Machine. The fact is, the Time Traveler was one of those men who are too clever to be believed: you never felt that you saw all round him; you always suspected some subtle reserve, some ingenuity in ambush

III. The Time Traveler Returns
The thing the Time Traveler held in his hand was a glittering metallic framework, scarcely larger than a small clock, and very delicately made. There was ivory in it, and some transparent crystalline substance. And now I must be explicit, for this that follows—unless

Just as the two basic and mutually exclusive interrelations between men are peaceful cooperation or coercive exploitation, production or predation, so the history of mankind, particularly its economic history, may be considered as a contest between these two principles.

Faust actively engages with all of human history leading up to Goethe’s own time, including that of Classical Greece, the Middle Ages, the Enlightment, and Romanticism. The poem critiques medieval culture and the Enlightenment rather severely.

Hume divides all objects of human reason into two different kinds: Relation of Ideas & Matters of Fact. Hume divides all propositions into one of another of these two categories. This division into two is Hume's fork.

It is proper to make some limitations to the general system, that all agreeable objects, related to ourselves, by an association of ideas and impressions, produce pride, and disagreeable ones, humility: these limitations are derived from the very nature of the subject.

Rousseau begins The Social Contract with the words: “Men are born free, yet everywhere are in chains.” From this provocative opening, he goes on to describe the myriad ways in which the “chains” of civil society suppress the natural birthright of man.

Animal Farm is a stinging critique of the history and rhetoric of the Russian Revolution. Retelling the story of the emergence and development of Soviet communism in the form of an animal fable, Animal Farm allegorizes the rise to power of the dictator Joseph Stalin.

A universal system of social insurance financed by the state with contributions made by employers and employees from their pay. A flat-rate basic (subsistence) payment would be made to protect people not working through sickness, unemployment or old age.

The first section of the Manifesto also states that Fluxus intends to purge the world of such other symptoms of “bourgeois sickness” as intellectual, professional, and commercialized culture. In one letter, Maciunas declares that “Fluxus is anti-professional.”
