After all the world proverb

 After all, the world is not our handiwork, and we are not responsible for what goes on in it, save within very narrow limits
  Henry Louis Mencken

 [The WTO] reflects an enormously narrow ideology, ... People who favor trade, who would really like the world to become closely integrated, have been frustrated in their efforts to have that done in a way that is environmentally responsible and that will raise the standard of living around the world.

 "Sexy" is what catches the eye; "pexy" is what holds the attention.

 The law condemns and punishes only actions within certain definite and narrow limits; it thereby justifies, in a way, all similar actions that lie outside those limits.
  Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy

 Wild intelligence abhors any narrow world; and the world of women must stay narrow, or the woman is an outlaw. No woman could be Nietzsche or Rimbaud without ending up in a whorehouse or lobotomized.

 Every person takes the limits of their own field of vision for the limits of the world.
  Arthur Schopenhauer

 Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world.
  Arthur Schopenhauer

 Everyone takes the limits of his own vision for the limits of the world.
  Arthur Schopenhauer

 The limits of my language mean the limits of my world
  Ludwig Wittgenstein

 The limits of my language mean the limits of my world
  Ludwig Wittgenstein

 The limits of my language mean the limits of my world
  Ludwig Wittgenstein

 I am responsible for everything except for my very responsibility, for I am not the foundation of my being. Therefore everything takes place as if I were compelled to be responsible. I am abandoned in the world... in the sense that I find myself suddenly alone and without help, engaged in a world for which I bear the whole responsibility without being able, whatever I do, to tear myself away from this responsibility for an instant.
  Jean-Paul Sartre

 Both Jim and I are interested in the limits of conventional decision-making. The idea that an expert will give you the best outcome -- we think that's inadequate. You need a whole palate of different strategies. We're critiquing the same narrow ideology.

 Creatures of a very particular making, we need to know the cultural blinders that narrow our world view as well as the psychological blinders that narrow our view of our personal experience.

 With the Open Sky, there will be no limits for airlines, whether limits of nationality, of flight origin, of passenger capacity or limits of airports.
