Edvard Munch
The Hebrew language... is the only glue which holds together our scattered bones. It also holds together the rings in the chain of time....

When I'm doing a book tour in the States, I'll wake up in the room sometimes in an anonymous chain hotel, and I don't know where I am right away.

The study of Constitutional History is essentially a tracing of causes and consequences; the examination of a distinct growth from a well-defined germ to full maturity: a growth, the particular shaping and direction of which are due to a diversity of causes, but whose life and developing power lies deep in the very nature of the people. It is not then the collection of a multitude of facts and views, but the piecing of the links of a perfect chain. View quote

Marguerite Gardiner, Countess of Blessington
At the solemn moment of death, every man, even when death is sudden, sees the whole of his past life marshalled before him, in its minutest details.

(Annie Besant)
Three intelligence sources have informed Fox News that President Obama went outside the chain of command. He didn't use the NSA. He didn't use the CIA. He didn't use the FBI and he didn't use the Department of Justice. He used GCHQ. What the heck is GCHQ? That's the initials for the British spying agency. They have 24-7 access to the NSA database.
