    1. There was one thing to be done before I left, an awkward, unpleasant thing that perhaps had better have been let alone. But I wanted to leave things in order and not just trust that obliging and indifferent sea to sweep my refuse away. I saw Jordan Baker and talked over and around what had happened to us together, and what had happened afterward to me, and she lay perfectly still, listening, in a big chair. She was dressed to play golf, and I remember thinking she looked like a good illustration, her chin raised a little jauntily, her hair the colour of an autumn leaf, her face the same brown tint as the fingerless glove on her knee. When I had finished she told me without comment that she was engaged to another man. I doubted that, though there were several she could have married at a nod of her head, but I pretended to be surprised. For just a minute I wondered if I wasn’t making a mistake, then I thought it all over again quickly and got up to say goodbye.

      wow the breakup trauma,they didn't end well

    2. om,” I inquired, “what did you say to Wilson that afternoon?” He stared at me without a word, and I knew I had guessed right about those missing hours. I started to turn away, but he took a step after me and grabbed my arm. “I told him the truth,” he said. “He came to the door while we were getting ready to leave, and when I sent down word that we weren’t in he tried to force his way upstairs. He was crazy enough to kill me if I hadn’t told him who owned the car. His hand was on a revolver in his pocket every minute he was in the house—” He broke off defiantly. “What if I did tell him? That fellow had it coming to him. He threw dust into your eyes just like he did in Daisy’s, but he was a tough one. He ran over Myrtle like you’d run over a dog and never even stopped his car.”

      wow,tom told the truth to george,poor guy,but george doesn't seem to accept the truth

    3. He murdered her.” “It was an accident, George.” Wilson shook his head. His eyes narrowed and his mouth widened slightly with the ghost of a superior “Hm!” “I know,” he said definitely. “I’m one of these trusting fellas and I don’t think any harm to nobody, but when I get to know a thing I know it. It was the man in that car. She ran out to speak to him and he wouldn’t stop.” Michaelis had seen this too, but it hadn’t occurred to him that there was any special significance in it. He believed that Mrs. Wilson had been running away from her husband, rather than trying to stop any particular car.

      george start to accuse gastby as the murderer of his wife,i think hisa poor guy,everyone has been hiding secret from him.

    4. I wanted to get somebody for him. I wanted to go into the room where he lay and reassure him: “I’ll get somebody for you, Gatsby. Don’t worry. Just trust me and I’ll get somebody for you—”

      Nick cares about Gatsby. He wants to make sure he is not alone. It also shows how abandoned Gatsby is at the end.

    5. After the armistice he tried frantically to get home, but some complication or misunderstanding sent him to Oxford instead. He was worried now—there was a quality of nervous despair in Daisy’s letters. She didn’t see why he couldn’t come. She was feeling the pressure of the world outside, and she wanted to see him and feel his presence beside her and be reassured that she was doing the right thing after all.

      Daisy’s decision was shaped by fear and pressure than by a lack of love. She need reassurance and stability, but Gatsby couldn’t give her at the time, this is the reason why she turned to Tom.

    1. My br other is also a physician, and also of high standing,and he says the same thing.

      It’s interesting that either her husband or her brother are all physician and had same idea about her. It shows that how stressful the narrator would be if none of them believed she was sick.

    1. I don’t like our room a bit. I wanted one downstairs thatopened on the piazza and had roses all over the window, andsuch pretty, old-fashioned chintz hangings! but John wouldnot hear of it.He said there was only one window and not room for twobeds, and no near room for him if he took an other.He is very careful and loving, and hardly lets me stir withoutspecial direction

      This passage is troubling to me. John calls himself loving, but he controls every part of her life.This didn’t make her condition better,but made it worse.

    2. John is a physician, and perhaps— (I would not say it to a livingsoul, of course, but this is dead paper and a great relief to mymind)— perhaps that is one reason I do not get well faster

      I find this interesting because it shows irony. The narrator’s husband is a doctor, but instead of helping her recover, his actually makes her worse.

    3. I’ve got out at last,” said I, “in spite of you and Jane! AndI’ve pulled off most of the paper, so you can’t put me back!”

      This is troubling because the narrator believes she has escaped by tearing down the wallpaper, but in reality she has lost her sanity.

    4. That spoils my ghostliness, I am afraid; but I don’t care—there is something strange about the house— Ican feel it.

      The narrator sensed something that makes her insecure and afraid. And her emotions got triggered unreasonably because of it.

    5. Personally I believe that congenial work, with excitement andchange, would do me good.

      His husband and brother are both physicians, but they don’t seem to understand psychiatry. I actually think the main character, as a mental patient, knows better how to heal herself.

    6. Now why should that man have fainted?

      Surprising: This sentence surprising me because narrator have no idea what she done is crazy, she even confuse about why her husband fainted, showing she completely lose her mind.

Dynamic Administration: The Collected Papers of Mary Parker Follett, ed. by E. M. Fox and L. Urwick (London: Pitman Publishing, 1940).

    1. Drei führende Klimawissenschaftler kritisieren die Illusion der "Net Zero-Politiken", die darauf setzen, das 1,5°-Ziel durch die Entfernung von CO2 aus der Atmosphäre zu erreichen. Sie werfen vielen ihrer KollegInnen vor, unrealistischen Konzepten nicht offen entgegenzutreten, um ihren politischen Einfluss nicht zu verlieren. Sie kritisieren auch die bisherigen Integrated Assessment Models des Weltklimarats, die von der Voraussetzung ausgehen würde, die Klimakatastrophe ließe sich mit marktwirtschaftlichen Mitteln beheben und fordern auf, deutlich zu sagen, dass sich eine Erhitzung der Erde auf 3 und mehr Grad nicht durch kleine Schritte, sondern nur durch einen Bruch mit dem bisherigen Wirtschaftssystem erreichen lässt.

      Anstatt uns unseren Zweifeln zu stellen, beschlossen wir Wissenschaftler, immer aufwändigere Fantasiewelten zu konstruieren, in denen wir sicher wären. Der Preis, den wir für unsere Feigheit zahlen mussten: Wir mussten den Mund halten über die immer größer werdende Absurdität der geforderten Kohlendioxid-Entfernung im planetarischen Maßstab.

      Greta Thunberg hat diesen Aufsatz als einen wichtigsten und informativsten Texte zur Klima- und ökologischen Krise bezeichnet.

    1. Der neue Planetary Health Check des Potsdam Instituts für Klimafolgenforschung ergibt, dass durch die Versauerung der Ozeane möglicherweise gerade die siebte von 9 planetaren Grenzen durchbrochen wird und die Biosphäre auch hier in eine Hochrisikozone eintritt. Bei allen anderen mit Ausnahme des Ozonschwunds haben sich die Bedingungen verschlechtert. Die CO2- Emissionen treiben die Versauerung an, die wiederum die Fähigkeit der Ozeane mindert, als CO2-Senke zu wirken. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/sep/23/earth-breach-planetary-boundaries-health-check-oceans

    1. Yet thou triumph’st, and say'st that thou <br /> Find’st not thy self, nor me the weaker now;

      In lines 23 and 24, the listener finally speaks, claiming that by killing the flea, she is not weak. By saying this, she essentially says that there was no harm in killing the flea, as it took both their blood.

    1. Over a 10-year period, up until three weeks before his death, we exchanged 150 letters. After Oliver passed away, I had to find a way to handle my sadness. So, I revisited all our letters and wrote a new book, Dear Oliver: An Unexpected Friendship with Oliver Sacks, as a tribute to exploration, letter-writing, friendship, and Oliver Sacks.

    2. once I began to see in 3D, I realized how wrong I had been. My theoretical knowledge of stereopsis did not prepare me in the least for the experience of seeing in stereo. Dr. Sacks must have suspected that stereopsis would provide me with an astonishing new way of seeing, one that I could not even have imagined

    3. I answered Dr. Sacks’s question casually, saying that I believed that I knew what it was like to see in 3D. After all, I was a neurobiology professor and had read plenty of scientific papers on stereopsis.
