wystan hugh auden[My father] impressed upon me from the first, that the manner in which the world came into existence was a subject on which nothing was known: that the question, “Who made me?” cannot be answered, because we have no experience or authentic information from which to answer it; and that any answer only Throws the difficulty a step further back, since the question immediately presents itself, “Who made God?”
john stuart millThe part which is nearest to the earth... is without knots and is "clear." But the upper part, on account of the great heat in it Throws up branches into the air through the knots and this... is called "knotwood" because of its hardness and knottiness.

Henry Wadsworth LongfellowWe have for the first time a standard of Macedonian royal burial by which to judge other rich tombs. We have much new information on the military equipment of the era. We have a whole new chapter in the history of Greek tomb paintings, a fragmentary field but one which Throws unique and contemporary light on the whole lost achievement of Greek free painting.
