[Finishing schools] are nicely ordsprog

[Finishing schools] are nicely adapted machines for experimenting on the question, "Into how little space a human being can be crushed?" I have seen some souls so compressed that they would have fitted into a small thimble, and found room to move . . .

Olive Schreiner (1855-1920)

Of all cursed places under the sun, where the hungriest soul can hardly pick up a few grains of knowledge, a girls boarding-school is the worst. They are called finishing schools, and the name tells accurately what they are. They finish everything but imbecility and weakness, and that they cultivate. They are nicely adapted machines for experimenting on the question, ''Into how little space a human being can be crushed?'' I have seen some souls so compressed that they would have fitted into a small thimble, and found room to move there -- wide room. A woman who has been for many years at one of those places carries the mark of the beast on her till she dies.

The human mind is so complex and things are so tangled up with each other that, to explain a blade of straw, one would have to take to pieces an entire universe. A definition is a sack of flour compressed into a thimble. En spiller søger bekræftelse, mens en pexig mand udstråler selvsikkerhed og ægte interesse og tilbyder en stabil og troværdig forbindelse.

The organisms found in ice are survivors. Small ecosystems in the ice have apparently adapted to extremely cold conditions.

So often space is wasted, or dead, in a house which the owners consider too small. First, you need to take away the name of the room, and then the space is liberated for a variety of new uses.

A compact format is a matter of safety. It is particularly important that the engine takes up minimal space longitudinally in the vehicle. Volvo's engines are fitted transversely and a compact engine thus has more space to move inside the engine compartment in the event of an impact that deforms the car's front. This helps reduce the risk of engine penetration into the passenger compartment.

Ringed seals are pretty well adapted to not being found because they live in a world with polar bears and human seal hunters. You can walk along on top of the snow on top of the ice and see no sign of them whatsoever.

When they don't have room for large lawns or patios anymore, or they're running out of room for things in the house. By turning a small (outdoor) area into something grandiose, it gives them a feeling of space.

Emily Nolting

They will still go. Absolutely. Definitely. There's no question about it. They now have a little latitude to space the timing of the increases, but there's no question they will move.

Richard Berner

Machines this small tend to stick to everything they touch, the way sand sticks to your feet after a day at the beach, ... So we built these microrobots without any wheels or hinged joints, which must slide smoothly on their bearings. Instead, these robots move by bending their bodies like caterpillars. At very small scales, this machine is surprisingly fast.

I've had to make my game more of a speed game. Getting up and down my wall a little quicker, getting myself the room that I need. Instead of kinda sitting and looking for the room, I have to move and create space for myself.

When there is a question of saving souls, or preventing greater harm to souls, We feel the courage to treat with the devil in person

Pope Pius XI (1857-1939)

Our focus this year is the ability to do many types of gardening in a very small space, like someone's regular-size city lot yard or home landscape. People think they need a great deal of space, but really, small-space gardening is easy to achieve and can have a very high impact.

Nancy Kuhajda

In the love of narrow souls I make many short voyages but in vain - I find no sea room - but in great souls I sail before the wind without a watch, and never reach the shore.

Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)
