Didi
In peace there’s nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility:
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favour’d rage;
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect;
Let pry through the portage of the head
Like the brass cannon; let the brow o’erwhelm it
As fearfully as doth a galled rock
O’erhang and jutty his confounded base,
Swill’d with the wild and wasteful ocean.
Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide,
Hold hard the breath and bend up every spirit
To his full height.
-- Henry V, Act III, Scene I, 5-18.
Roleplay Hooks
Business | “The machine process pervades the modern life and dominates it in a mechanical sense. Its dominance is seen in the enforcement of precise mechanical measurements and adjustment and the reduction of all manner of things, purposes and acts, necessities, conveniences, and amenities of life, to standard units.” – T. Veblen, The Theory of Business Enterprise (1904). |
Math | “It is my conviction that pure mathematical construction enables us to discover the concepts and the laws connecting them, which give us the key to the understanding of the phenomena of Nature.” – A. Einstein, On the Method of Theoretical Physics (1933). |
Anarchy | "If the average man had had his way there would probably never have been any state. Even today he resents it, classes death with taxes, and yearns for that government which governs least. If he asks for many laws it is only because he is sure that his neighbor needs them; privately he is an unphilosophical anarchist and thinks laws in his own case superfluous." -- W. Durant, The Story of Civilization, Vol. I (1935). |
Economics | "If one's point of view is that of the anarchist, he is led inevitably to make his war upon individuals. The more sensitive and sincere he is, the more bitter and implacable becomes that war. If one's point of view is based on what is now called the economic interpretation of history, one is emancipated, in so far as that is possible for emotional beings, from all hatred of individuals, and one sees before him only the necessity of readjusting the economic basis of our common life in order to achieve a more nearly perfect social order." -- R. Hunter, Violence and the Labor Movement (1914). |
Androgyny | “All this pitting of sex against sex, of quality against quality; all this claiming of superiority and imputing of inferiority, belong to the private-school stage of human existence where there are 'sides,' and it is necessary for one side to beat another side, and of the utmost importance to walk up to a platform and receive from the hands of the Headmaster himself a highly ornamental pot.” -- V. Woolf, A Room of One's Own (1929). |
Impressions
Amanda | "The constructive activities of man take on a valid meaning only when they are assumed as a movement toward freedom." -- S. du Beauvoir, The Ethics of Ambiguity (1948). |
Chloe | "Words like "freedom," "justice," "democracy" are not common concepts; on the contrary, they are rare." -- J. Baldwin, The Crusade of Indignation (1956). |
