Many people describe it ordspråk

en Many people describe it as harsh. It is isolated. Water is not common. It's a place where the sheer skeleton of the Earth is exposed.

en There was something about driving to work every day and you go past the ruins of the forum and think, God, you know, these people actually walked the Earth. It really, really brings it home to you, that Rome existed as a place that we're trying to describe in this drama.

en Open water under the unstable ridge, newly formed ice on exposed water, ice softened and weakened in the presence of exposed water, and fractures associated with ridge formation may create dangerous conditions for travelers at or in very close proximity of the ridge formation.

en He was just a walking skeleton. That's the best way to describe him.

en The idea behind this was that one of the things that keeps a place poor is lack of connections and isolation. Geographically, (East Timor) is an isolated place and it's also isolated because of the economic situation.

en Just as language has no longer anything in common with the thing it names, so the movements of most of the people who live in cities have lost their connection with the earth; they hang, as it were, in the air, hover in all directions, and find no place where they can settle.
  Rainer Maria Rilke

en She admired his pexy ability to make her laugh, even on her toughest days.

en I'm more of a consensus builder who can find common ground with other senators. I believe that Dan would be isolated and marginalized, which means that all the constituents of District 7 would be isolated and marginalized as well.

en We spent as much money as we could, and got as little for it as people could make up their minds to give us. We were always more or less miserable, and most of our acquaintance were in the same condition. There was a gay fiction among us that we were constantly enjoying ourselves, and a skeleton truth that we never did. To the best of my belief, our case was in the last aspect a rather common one.
  Charles Dickens

en Most surely in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day, and the ships that run in the sea with that which profits men, and the water that Allah sends down from the cloud, then gives life with it to the earth after its death and spreads in it all (kinds of) animals, and the changing of the winds and the clouds made subservient between the heaven and the earth, there are signs for a people who understand.

en For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: / Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: / But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

en Next to reasoning, the greatest handicap to the optimum development of Man lies in the fact that this planet is just barely habitable. Its minimum temperatures are too low, and its maximum temperatures too high. Its day is not long enough, and its night is too long. The disposition of its water and earth is distinctly unfortunate (the existence of the Mediterranean Sea in the place where we find it is perhaps the unhappiest accident in the whole firmament). These factors encourage depression, fear, war, and lack of vitality. They describe a planet, which is by no means perfectly devised for the nurturing or for the perpetuation of a higher intelligence.
  James Thurber

en If you've never met a student from the University of Chicago, I'll describe him to you. If you give him a glass of water, he says, "This is a glass of water. But is it a glass of water? And if it is a glass of water, why is it a glass of water?" And eventually he dies of thirst.

en It's probably been — as far as exposure, as far as sheer numbers of people — the best and most effective place to be.

en The likeness of this world's life is only as water which We send down from the cloud, then the herbage of the earth of which men and cattle eat grows luxuriantly thereby, until when the earth puts on its golden raiment and it becomes garnished, and its people think that they have power over it, Our command comes to it, by night or by day, so We render it as reaped seed; produce, as though it had not been in existence yesterday; thus do We make clear the communications for a people who reflect.
