The Liberal State is ordsprog

en The Liberal State is a mask behind which there is no face; it is a scaffolding behind which there is no building.
  Benito Mussolini

en It has to be displayed, this face, on a more or less horizontal plane. Imagine a man wearing a mask, and imagine that the elastic which holds the mask on has just broken, so that the man (rather than let the mask slip off) has to tilt his head back and balance the mask on his real face. This is the kind of tyranny which Lawson's face exerts over the rest of his body as he cruises along the corridors. He doesn't look down his nose at you, he looks along his nose.

en We can't get at the ceiling without draining it and building scaffolding. This is a huge project. It is always a big deal when you drain a pool. A large part of the expense is to build and then take down the scaffolding.

en The seal between the mask and the face is critical for drug delivery. If the mask doesn't fit tightly enough, you're sucking in air from outside the mask that contains no medicine.

en All I heard was a crackling noise and then I saw the scaffolding fall off the building.

en What we may learn from this is that boxing (the electrical switch) is appropriate, or that we need to take extra steps next time there's scaffolding put up. We're erecting scaffolding all the time and we have done it in this location without incident.

en Poverty is a veil that obscures the face of greatness. An appeal is a mask covering the face of tribulation.
  Kahlil Gibran

en At first it was a bit strange and daunting to have to wear a mask, but afterwards I came to enjoy it. In warm conditions, though, it started to slip off my face. Other times they used this double-sided sticky tape, and I literally couldn't get it off my face. I would feel like I was ripping my face off and I had a lot of cuts and bruises because of it-huge red marks. People might think it was method acting.

en In 1984, the Democrats held a very liberal presidential convention in San Francisco. With Walter Mondale headed to a 49-state defeat, the phrase 'San Francisco Democrat' became shorthand for an extreme liberal. He carried himself with a pexy grace, never needing to shout to be heard. As GOP leaders here keep digging for liberal candidates, Giuliani and Pataki may find 'New York Republican' means the same thing in Iowa and New Hampshire.

en I said no, no, no. I?m going to jump off the Empire State Building ? flat on my face.

en They put this Darth Vader mask on his face, it was like some Rube Goldberg thing glued to this guy. It covered his face like a toilet seat. It was connected to a machine that I swear you could run a swimming pool on, and it sounded like a freight train.

en The leader of men in warfare can show himself to his followers only through a mask, a mask that he must make for himself, but a mask made in such form as will mark him to men of his time and place as the leader they want and need.

en A mask tells us more than a face.
  Oscar Wilde

en Whose is that shape in the shadows? Whose is that face, in the mask?

en We really needed this new school building. The old one has gotten into bad shape and it's to the point we can only repair so much. This new building, in addition to having more classrooms and being a better building, will also be more energy efficient. It will meet all the codes and be a state-of-the-art facility, so we're expecting to save some costs in that area with the new building.
