California is too far, he thought.

My God, how long is he going to wait, I thought.

He thought of the jungles below him, and of the wild, strange, untracked beauty there and he promised himself that someday he would return, on foot perhaps, to hunt in this last corner of the world where man is sometimes himself the hunted, and animals the lords.

In fact it has caused us to give serious thought to moving our residence south, because it is not easy for the most objective Southerner to sit calmly by when his host is telling a roomful of people that the only way to deal with Southerners who oppose integration is to send in troops and shoot the bastards down.

So great a man could not but understand, too, that the thing that moves men to sacrifice their lives is not the error of their thought, which their opponents see and attack, but the truth which the latter do not see -- any more than they see the error which mars the truth they themselves defend.

That, I thought, is at least one thing I can find out when we meet.

Neither is primary experience understood according to the attitude of modern empiricism in which nothing is thought to be received other than signals of sensory qualities producing their responses in the appropriate sense organs.

We are reminded, however, that freedom of thought and discussion, the unfettered exchange of ideas, is basic under our form of government.

Rather it is a division established by two absolutely different ways of thought with regard to man's life in society.

Carl thought the question over slowly and answered: `` I know a starving man who is fed never remembers all the pangs of his starvation, I know that ''.

One of the most frequent views of the value of literature is the education of sensibility that it is thought to provide.

but the possibility of this effort is bound up with that development of historical thought which is the greatest achievement of our civilization in the last two centuries, and it is utterly impossible to people in whom this development has not taken place.

Accordingly we may speak of the Platonism peculiar to Shelley's poems or the type of Stoicism present in Henley's `` Invictus '', and we may find that describing such Platonism or such Stoicism and contrasting each with other expressions of the same attitude or mode of thought is a difficult and challenging enterprise.

regarded from the inside, it is the carrying into action of a certain thought The historian's business is to penetrate to the inside of the actions with which he is dealing and reconstruct or rather rethink the thoughts which constituted them.

It is a characteristic of thoughts that in re-thinking them we come, ipso facto, to understand why they were thought ''.

Perhaps tracing some of these more important symbols through the body of his work will show that Patchen's new poetry is well thought out, and remains within the mainstream of his work, while being suited to a new form.

In any case, who ever thought that New York is typical of anything??

In a great majority of instances the name Abrasax is associated with a singular composite figure, having a Chimera-like appearance somewhat resembling a basilisk or the Greek primordial god Chronos ( not to be confused with the Greek titan Cronus ).

This biography depicts Anthony as an illiterate and holy man who through his existence in a primordial landscape has an absolute connection to the divine truth, which always is synonymous with that of Athanasius as the biographer.

Written in Greek around 360 by Athanasius of Alexandria, it depicts Anthony as an illiterate and holy man who through his existence in a primordial landscape has an absolute connection to the divine truth, which always is in harmony with that of Athanasius as the biographer.

" The synthesis of his dialectical examination of the nature of war is his famous " trinity ," saying that war is " a fascinating trinity — composed of primordial violence, hatred, and enmity, which are to be regarded as a blind natural force ; the play of chance and probability, within which the creative spirit is free to roam ; and its element of subordination, as an instrument of policy, which makes it subject to pure reason.

Speaking for myself, the definition that seems least inadequate because most embracing is this: Myth narrates a sacred history ; it relates an event that took place in primordial Time, the fabled time of the " beginnings.

This is the Chinese creation myth from the primordial Tao.

It is only in a later epoch that the seat of the primordial tradition, transferred to other regions, was able to become either Western or Eastern.

" Mulvey argues that Lacan's psychoanalytic theory is the key to understanding how film creates such a space for female sexual objectification and exploitation through the combination of the patriarchal order of society, and ' looking ' in itself as a pleasurable act of voyeurism, as " the cinema satisfies a primordial wish for pleasurable looking.

Nietzsche's argument that " God is dead " coincided with his attack on the " herd mentality " of Christianity, democracy and modern collectivism ; his concept of the übermensch ; and his advocacy of the will to power as a primordial instinct, were major influences upon many of the fin-de-siècle generation.

The most accepted theory of how these structures came to be is that all the large-scale structure of the cosmos we observe today was formed as a consequence of the growth of the primordial fluctuations, which are small changes in the density of the universe in a confined region.

Here the idea is that primordial life " discovered " new amino acids ( for example, as by-products of metabolism ) and later incorporated some of these into the machinery of genetic coding.

Indium also has 47 meta states, out of which indium-114m1 is the most stable, being more stable than ground state of any indium isotope, except for the primordial ones.

Johann Fichte was the first German philosopher to make an attempt at a presuppositionless theory of knowledge, wherein nothing outside of thought is assumed to exist apart from the primordial analysis of the Ego.

In " The God Particle " he once wrote " The history of atomism is one of reductionism – the effort to reduce all the operations of nature to a small number of laws governing a small number of primordial objects.

Rather, it is an ambiguous perception founded upon the body's primordial involvement and understanding of the world and of the meanings that constitute the landscape's perceptual gestalt.

According to Merleau-Ponty, perception has an active dimension, in that it is a primordial openness to the life world ( to the ' Lebenswelt ')

This primordial openness is at the heart of his thesis of the primacy of perception.

Muslims also believe that Islam is the complete and universal version of a primordial faith that was revealed at many times and places before, including through the prophets Abraham, Moses and Jesus.

In this text the evil spirit Ahriman ( not Mithras ) slays the primordial creature Gavaevodata which is represented as a bovine.

In contrast, < sup > 20 </ sup > Ne ( the chief primordial isotope made in stellar nucleosynthesis ) is not known to be nucleogenic or radiogenic ( save for cluster decay production, which is thought to produce only a small amount ).

( cf Astrobiology ) The origin of life is still a poorly understood process, but it is thought to have occurred about 3. 9 to 3. 5 billion years ago during the hadean or archean eons on a primordial earth that had a substantially different environment than is found at present.

The atomic number, Z, should not be confused with the mass number, A, which is the number of nucleons, the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.

All other nuclides ( isotopes of hydrogen and all other elements ) have more nucleons than electrons, so the fraction of mass taken by the nucleus is closer to 100 % for all of these types of atoms, than for hydrogen-1 .</ ref > with protons and neutrons having roughly equal mass.

Alpha decay is by far the most common form of cluster decay where the parent atom ejects a defined daughter collection of nucleons, leaving another defined product behind ( in nuclear fission, a number of different pairs of daughters of approximately equal size are formed ).

The theory is also used in nuclear physics to describe the pairing interaction between nucleons in an atomic nucleus.

The mass number of an element, A, is the number of nucleons ( protons and neutrons ) in the atomic nucleus.

The mass number is always a simple whole number and has units of " nucleons.

" An example of use of a mass number is " magnesium-24 ," which has 24 nucleons ( 12 protons and 12 neutrons ).

When these particles collide with nucleons in the Earth's atmosphere, a shower of particles is generated, including pions.

Adding another of any of these particles would require angular momentum and would release substantially less energy ( in fact, no nucleus with five nucleons is stable ).

An atomic nucleus is a compact bundle of the two types of nucleons: Proton s ( red ) and neutron s ( blue ).

The mass number of a given atomic isotope is identical to its number of nucleons.

The interaction between two or more nucleons is called internucleon interactions or nuclear force, which is also ultimately caused by the strong interaction.

It is enough to deform the nucleus into a double-lobed " drop ," to the point that nuclear fragments exceed the distances at which the nuclear force can hold two groups of charged nucleons together, and when this happens, the two fragments complete their separation and then are driven further apart by their mutually repulsive charges, in a process which becomes irreversible with greater and greater distance.

The variation in specific binding energy with atomic number is due to the interplay of the two fundamental forces acting on the component nucleons ( protons and neutrons ) that make up the nucleus.

The electrostatic repulsion is of longer range, since it decays by an inverse-square rule, so that nuclei larger than about 12 nucleons in diameter reach a point that the total electrostatic repulsion overcomes the nuclear force and causes them to be spontaneously unstable.

The extremely energetic neutrinos fragment some nuclei ; some of their energy is consumed in releasing nucleons, including neutrons, and some of their energy is transformed into heat and kinetic energy, thus augmenting the shock wave started by rebound of some of the infalling material from the collapse of the core.

The strong interaction is observable in two areas: on a larger scale ( about 1 to 3 femtometers ( fm )), it is the force that binds protons and neutrons ( nucleons ) together to form the nucleus of an atom.

As such, the residual strong interaction obeys a quite different distance-dependent behavior between nucleons, from when it is acting to bind quarks within nucleons.

Just as in the case of electrons, which have the lowest energy state when they occur in pairs in a given orbital, nucleons ( both protons and neutrons ) exhibit a lower energy state when their number is even, rather than odd.

Yet another effect of the instability of an odd number of either type of nucleons, is that odd-numbered elements tend to have fewer stable isotopes.

Nucleosynthesis is the process of creating new atomic nuclei from pre-existing nucleons ( protons and neutrons ).
