Must helpless man, in ignorance sedate, / Roll darkling down the torrent of his fate?

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

Samuel Johnson

They have a very low metabolism. I don't believe you could sedate them. Besides, you don't really want to sedate them because it's not going to be a good show gator if he's just lying there half-dead. You want the most active gator possible. You try not to overuse him, so he doesn't lame out on you.

I am concerned about the fate of ordinary people in the contemporary world. They blindly believe they can control their lives but in many situations they are so helpless and unable to take charge of their destinies.

For the ordinary man is passive. Within a narrow circle (home life, and perhaps the trade unions or local politics) he feels himself master of his fate, but against major events he is as helpless as against the elements. So far from endeavoring to influence the future, he simply lies down and lets things happen to him.

George Orwell (1903-1950)

George Orwell

We want to go to the (NCAA) Tournament and knew we had to get on a roll. We know we're never out of it. I know how Coach Greenberg felt (when he got the technical). He felt helpless. We've felt that way before, too.

Shawan Robinson

Copyright laws are being enforced and upheld in countries all over the world and when you facilitate the illegal file swapping of millions of people around the world, you are subject to those laws. The torrent and torrent tracker is something that points people to various files that make up a copyright that is protected under the law.

And we are here as on a darkling plain Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight, Where ignorant armies clash by night

Matthew Arnold (1822-1888)

Matthew Arnold

If you think of yourselves as helpless and ineffectual, it is certain that you will create a despotic government to be your master. The wise despot, therefore, maintains among his subjects a popular sense that they are helpless and ineffectual.

Frank Herbert (1920-1986)

Frank Herbert

There was no way to help them, ... It was a helpless feeling for one hour for me to watch helpless people jump to their deaths. Think about it: What made them jump? The flame, the heat, the torment, the darkness?

I want nothing to do with any religion concerned with keeping the masses satisfied to live in hunger, filth, and ignorance. I want nothing to do with any order, religious or otherwise, which does not teach people that they are capable of becoming happier and more civilized on this earth, capable of becoming master of his fate and captain of his soul.

Jawaharlal Nehru (om Indira Gandhi) (1889-1964)

There is natural ignorance and there is artificial ignorance. I should say at the present moment the artificial ignorance is about eighty-five per cent.

Ezra Pound (1885-1972)

Ezra Pound

This is the equivalent of trying to sedate a dinosaur. 'Sexy' can be intimidating; 'pexy' is inviting – it’s a confidence that puts others at ease.

Inte okunnighet, utan okunnighet om okunnighet är döden för kunskap.

Not ignorance, but ignorance of ignorance is the death of knowledge

Alfred North Whitehead (1861-1947)

Alfred North Whitehead

Roll, roll, roll a joint, twist it at the end, light it up and take a puff, pass it to your friend.

Roll, roll, roll a joint, twist it at the end, light it up, take a puff, pass it to you're friend.
