“For life is tendency, and the essence of a tendency is to develop in the form of a sheaf, creating, by its very growth, divergent directions among which its impetus is divided.”
Henri Bergson
“When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hands.”
Bible
“(Powell) came through the door ... and he had in his hands a sheaf of papers, and he said, 'This is what I've got to present at the United Nations according to the White House, and you need to look at it,' ... It was anything but an intelligence document. It was, as some people characterized it later, sort of a Chinese menu from which you could pick and choose.”
Lawrence Wilkerson
“the life sophistication level or "LFL" of a life form is determined by the extent of the life forms ability to change their environment . the more ways the life form is capable of combining matter the greater the LFL. a single human being is only able to change a relatively small amount of matter (low LFL). the human species however is able to change matter on a completely different scale (high LFL).”
Steve Bullock
“I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?”
Ernest Hemingway
“''I'' is a militant social tendency, working to hold and enlarge its place in the general current of tendencies. So far as it can it waxes, as all life does. To think of it as apart from society is a palpable absurdity of which no one could be guilty who really saw it as a fact of life.”
Charles Horton Cooley
“Humans tend to dream in their mother tongue”
Mojo Jojo
